Hey Friends, I'll start this post with my Favorite Little Man above, Mr .Nic, such a happy boy.Excited about SpongeBob and wearing Elmo Slippers! He loves to sing and dance too !
Today I finally got to meet up with friends for some Plein Air Painting !! Last week was too rainy. I just joined up with this group of crazy women and I love it already.
They weren't interested in painting the landscapes ! They were experimenting with new ways of slinging and pouring paint on unstretched canvas. I painted 2 small pieces and they are pretty bad. I didn't even think to photograph them for you. I've wanted to seriously knuckle down and paint from life for a long time BUT It's HARD !!! Maybe to hard for me but I'm not giving up after just one go. I used acrylics and it might be easier w/ oils 'cuz acrylics dry so o oooo fast.
Can you see the canvas' laying on the ground? Now they will pick out an area of the canvas and stretch it and then paint on top. Can't wait to try it myself but I need to order in some supplies.This group is trying to find a name and several are on the marque, but not firm yet.
And I forgot to post about the reception held at Second Helpings last Sat. morning, to thank the artists that painted the table tops for their new cafe. I'll post some photos soon.
Happy Trails !

Nothing beats hanging out with crazy women artists--laughter's good. Why do they pour on unstretched canvas; then stretch it?
Keep up the plein air--I'm thinking of trying it. You can be my role model.
I love Mr. Nic.
The new class looks like a ton of fun! And Mr. Nic seems like he'll full of joy. I bet he'll grow up to be quite the friendly guy. ;-)
Art is so important, the language without words.
