Hope you had a happy 4th of July—we certainly did. In fact, we were inspired to do something new today. Instead of sitting in a circle for showtime, we lined our paintings up on the old-fashioned chalkboard rail to view in a row. Okay, that's not the big new deal. This is—we started making up a story to take us from painting to painting and had lots of laughs in the process. We thought you'd like to share in the fun, so we are going to keep the commentary to a minimum and invite you to make up your own story around our paintings.
We start with Susan's view of Tony at the beach.
Mary begins to paint her childhood Milwaukee home.
Sara continues her exquisite annual self-portrait.
Alan does a self-portrait in watercolor and acrylic on Yupo.
Alan's mastery of Yupo is evident in this watercolor/acrylic sunset...
...and in this smile-inducing painting that had us singing. Come on, you know the song!
Elaine continues to paint a sign from the Lakeview neighborhood.
And Greeta paints a cow...
...and Alan relaxing on the water.
Greeta begins a painting of boys fishing in a small boat.
Steve fine-tunes the clouds, rocks and skin of his merman.
And Ken's corn series continues. Notice the progression in this one painting. Each group of four stalks becomes more stylized and mosaic-like.
So, could you do it? Could you make a story that uses the paintings (in order) as illustrations? Feel free to stretch your imagination... and share the results if you'd like!
