THURSDAY AT OTOW ART ROOM

I painted and  talked  about  art  at the   OTOW  ART  ROOM. WE  CALL OURSELVES THE  ART  GROUP  FOR  OTOW... TONIGHT  I WILL GO TO THE   GALLERY  IN THE  SQUARE AT  THE  TOWN CENTER  FOR  OTOW  FOR  A  RECEPTION AND  OPEN HOUSE  VIEWING OF  ART BY RESIDENTS  OF  OTOW. 

DISCUSSION  OF  PAINTERS  AND  TECHNIQUES   IS  SUCH NICE  CONVERSATION.  NO POLITICS ...JUST  ART SHARING. LOVE IT

THIS  IS  A WOOD  CARVING BY  BOB   WITH THE  BACK GROUND  PAINTED  BY VINCE. NEAT  COOLABORATION.

FOR  SOME REASON , UPLOADING  FAILED.  I WILL TRY AGAIN.

ACYLIC PAINTING  WALKWAY BY ART  ROOM. ALL OVER THE  OTOW GROUNDS, THESE  FLOWERING  TREES  ARE  BEAUTIFUL .

IN THE  PAINTING ON THE LEFT, DONE IN OIL, I AM WONDERING  IF  I MIGHT  CAPTURE THE  COLORS  AND THE ILLUSION OF SHALLOW  WATER  OVER ROCKS.

FRIDAY CONTINUED

I  SAW THESE  CLOUDS. CAN I CAPTURE  THAT  MOMENT AND  EVEN COME  CLOSE  TO  RECREATING THE  MOMENT?

MY NEXT  PAINTING TODAY, WAS THIS  OIL PAINTING OF THE  WATERS AND  ROCKS IN NOVA SCOTIA.. SUCH  BEAUITFUL COLORS  TO THE  WATER AND THE  ROCKS..

I WORKED  ON THIS  PAINTING  BY MAKING THE  BACKAREA LIGHTER. I WANTED TO  MAKE THE CHAIR AND SPINNING  WHEEL  SHOW  UP BETTER.
