Art Detectives: Member Art

Today we got to view some more photos from our member Barry (East Coast version!) -- it's so wonderful to have the artist share their work and talk about process & technique. The stories behind the photos today make them even more rich. For the bird pics, we even had some Ornithological detectives helping identify some of our feathery friends. So wonderful of Barry to share his photos with us & we had a lively discussion about each. Click on the top left (the little white bars) of this blog to see more of the artwork of our members. 

 We had the great fortune of one of our own sharing her work & techniques with us today! Katje let us view some of the artwork she's created since the pandemic began. At the beginning of the lockdown, she was in her craft room and realized she had all kinds of art supplies!! Luckily for us, she started putting it to paper. All kinds of paper! All kinds of watercolor paints, pens, pencils -- "If art supplies has the word, 'water,' in it, I probably have it!" Truly enjoyable to have her share "the how" of creating.

We looked at some photographs from group member Ruth today. She has such a great eye for composition, as several of us noted, and her photos have such rich color, light & shading. She's traveled all over -- so getting to see the garb of dancers from around the world is a real treat. She was shy about doing so, but we all really appreciated getting to hear her take on the photos & Ruth's generosity in sharing with us. Her work, and an earlier showing, are in our Member Art section.
