Boy, you can tell you're an adult when you're glad to get back to school! Despite meeting for cemetery sketching, it seemed like a long break and we happy to be back--painting, catching up, experimenting and learning.
So what happened while we were off? Robert and Ken painted prolifically. Susan has a painting in a show at the Cultural Center. (Scroll down for more information about that.) But mostly, it seems we all caught the drawing bug. Besides the cemetery sketching (and tune in next week to see some of those sketches), Ken's hosting a equinox sketching party, and there's been a run on drawing workbooks at Amazon.
But most importantly, we haven't forgotten how to paint while we were off. Keep looking to see faces, places, fabrics and more--plus news about Susan's show and more of Robert's series. It's good to be back!
If you're downtown before October 14, drop by the Cultural Center at the corner of Michigan and Randolph. Our very own Susan Silvano has a painting in the Renaissance Court 20th Anniversary Members Show. Everyone is welcome and there are plenty of paintings to see and enjoy.
Painting in a Series
All the best artists do it--and so do we! Robert's sketchbook series continues and we're really seeing the value of this series thing! While we don't have every painting in the series, you've seen some of them in past posts, and the summer set above. You can also see some of the summer set below, all together. It's fascinating to see their evolution and how each painting influences the next. These are just plain cool--no other explanation necessary. They're just fun to look at. And, wouldn't it be something to see all of them animated? Almost educational--but in a good, PBS way!
It's good to be back. See you next week!
