We seem to have had two themes going today—color and forgetfulness. Susan forgot her brushes and Elaine forgot the video camera! So while we won't be seeing any video this week, we're glad to note that Susan had no problem finding brushes for a painting (or two).

Our paintings feature a range of colorful landscapes—from stormy cityscapes to lush desert islands, with a stop for morning coffee in between. Throw in some rich color studies (and color swatch kitties) and you're in our world of color. Check out the studies in grey too. Every grey uses a different combination of color. They're all grey, but very subtly colorful. Even our drawings crossed the line into painting—colorful brush portraits in india ink. And of course, it's the end of the term, so we got a painted grade from the teacher. (We're assuming she means our art is "peachy" and not "the pits!")

We're taking the summer off and will be back on September 10. If you need to get a jolt of art in the meantime, you can visit the Art Institute...or just click on one of our links at right. Have a wonderful summer.
