Prayer is a large part of our group and this week we missed Sharon Rouse...she will be back. Betty Jo, Claudia, Betsy, Mary , Betty, Grace and me....Ms. Dot was with Susan and we missed her this past week.
As you know our Artisan SHOWOFF is October 6th. All Jones County artisans and their families (no matter where they live are invited also.) The plan is to share art of the ages....anything piece of art, woodworking, sewing, crocheting and knitting...come and bring your art that you have stored and share with the generations to come.
I have neglected to post some pictures from the weeks before the 5th so here are some that were painted prior to our last meeting. Enjoy!
Sharon Rouse used graphite and some pastel on this beautiful eagle. She is a novice, but it doesn't show in this beautifully constructed drawing. Good job! Some people were meant to be artists!
This piece is a collage...she chose the colors and I love the design....something to expand and practice in the future. Keep it going Sharon.
A watercolor by Sharon, one of her first paintings. I may have posted before but I took a second look and saw a great deal of potential.
This is a colorful, realistic Luna Moth. Great job Betty Jo.....I love the texture and the exactness of your drawing...then on top of that your colors were magnificent. Thank you.
I am not sure who did this painting, but one of the group did this, maybe Lynn? Will find out and label next time we post.
This is a Sunflower in progress by Betty. This was the first time she has painted and I look forward to seeing this finished.
This was an assignment to use graphite in the entire drawing and Claudia did it, and boy did she do it...this was wonderfully constructed and a creative passionate tree. More to come.
This is an amazing portrait of someone we know, Mary Thomas used graphite to capture the expression of the picture used. Wonderful hair and love the shadowing. Would love to see more portraits.....there is clarity and personality in this one.
A painting by Claudia....she has been working on sky transitions and as you will see later this is the beginning of great things. Love the colors and the sky.
A most beautiful rose painted by Betty Jo......there is nothing to say about perfection...Congratulations Betty!
Another flower from Betty Jo. The Dogwood and the capture of its blossom in mid air...Love it.
Betty used a domed butterfly to express her exquisite drawing skills, and the colors are so true to the form iteself.... Skills are great!
Beautiful fish by Betty Jo. An amazing amount of movement expressed in this painting. Color, design and action are exciting.
Betsy working on sky, mountains, lake, perspective....oh what a hard working and successful process...Will see more from this artist later. I want to be standing under the trees smelling the cool air of Montana. Yes!
Claudia created a sky that is amazing. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 Proof positive....thanks for reminding us with this beautiful light filled painting.
A week ago we all worked on glass projects...this is Claudia's butterfly.....the colors and structure are beautiful.
Betsy worked on cork this last week and created a beach scene with a minimal palette......who wouldn't want to be on that beach with the water and the sky empowering beauty.
To God be the glory.
One of the ponies on the outer banks.....by me.
An unfinished raccoon, by Betty. She has added such passion in those eyes....she plans to surround the raccoon with leaves of different colors. You will see this re posted. What an amazing expression of love.....she is starting to enjoy painting as we see in this picture. Good job!
Claudia playing around on cork, but the amazing abstract looks like - the song "Lord of the Dance".....if only we could relax and praise God as these colors and lines are mastering movement....Spiritual and relaxing....
The final piece of the day was amazing. Grace worked on cork. As you notice the right wing looks different than the left wing. She painted the left wing on glass and the body of the butterfly and right wing was painted on the cork. Some of the leaves were started on the glass then some were painted under the glass on cork. In person it shows such great depth......a beautiful inspiring butterfly......by a wonderful artist.
Betty Jo and Mary Thomas have two pieces to share next week, I failed to photo before they left.....so bring them back and I will post.
Thanks for checking out the beautiful art work and know prayer changes things.....
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phillipians 4:13
These paintings are proof positive that God is in everything we do......thanks be to God.
