Quote from Roloff Beny, a painter turned photographer:
“My photography is my greatest art.”

A link to the demo from last week. Love it!
That is my pic in the middle.

painting outside

The judge of the upcoming art show was kind enough to give a free class/show/demo on plein air painting for anyone who wanted to come. It was sunny, warm and not too windy, perfect for being outside by the river for a couple of hours. I enjoyed it, but I also enjoyed the time I spent inside one of the restaurants watching the basketball game.

Working on a show

Some of the artists were working small today.
An art show of only miniatures is going to be held in Nags Head in April or May. Here is my neighbor Cathy working on a piece. It is not as small as Janet's though. Hers was only about 2x3!
I am thinking about entering, too.

Fourth Friday

Another enjoyed by all Friday night at the ArtWorks.
The music was provided by one of our favorites, a sweet man who by day is an activity therapist.
He sang and played his guitar, and eventually I made my way to the little stage and sang along with him. He didn't mind.
This is a picture of a visitor to Studio 15, a nice woman who stayed to chat about things, and said she loved the color of my door. Her vest even matched. She leaned against it and suggested I take a picture. The iPhone was all I had with me, but here it is. By the way, she asked me if I was from here and then said how much she liked my accent!

Mother's Seagull Flies

Finally. 

This was my mother's much loved bird that I claimed when she died. After a few years of neglect, she will now be a permanent part of my studio.
