The doctor's painting

These steps look a bit mysterious. The flowers sweep up both sides. Deep woods surround, and the top step almost disappears in shadow.

Collaborative Painting

My friend and "sponsor" came over last night to try her hand at painting. Since Dr. MG is the creative drive behind many of my efforts, it made sense that she should pick up a brush and go to it. What fun we had! Later in the evening, C. Came by and added to his canvas. I am ending up by finishing off the doctor's tulip path.

So why do I see online artists hating on the wine and paint clubs? I don't get it. You resent someone enjoying a night with brushes, pigments, and socialization? We can't all be trained at the Sorbonne, and few of us will take the art world by storm. We aren't hurting anyone, and it keeps us out of the malls and off the streets. Have a sense of humor, and admit that amateur artists are experiencing enough creativity to appreciate true and trained genius.

Kids show their style and color sense.  This kiddo is careful to never overlap, to never mix colors.  My other grandson splatter paint all over the canvas.
