Hello for the holiday weekend. I hope you live close enough to put flowers on your graves and can gather together for a weekend of family. Not the case at this house. We did have company from Bartlesville. Bob went fishing with them to Jocasee lake and caught trout. I joined them on Lake Keowee and only one big mouth Bass was found and a fishing pole lost...( it broke). I think the sun was pretty hard on me tho. They enjoyed the scenery. Saturday was Seneca Fest so we strolled downtown to Ram Cat Alley to look around. A bar b que contest left many chefs with meat to share and the artists were out in abundance. I found a new artist in town that wants to teach oil. She loves to paint animals and was working on a snake and a bear and they were very good paintings. She works with students on Thursday afternoon. I"ll let you know what I think about her. She said she travels all over the world to get pictures to paint of animals. She has been doing it since 12 years old. Anyway a friend suggested I go to the gallery and see Shirley's huge paintings that were artist of the month and the art of Carl Plansky they had in the main gallery. I have to say he is modern almost abstract, but he is one of those painters that Anne Spoon called lush in paint. You had to stand back just like Walt's paintings to tell what the subject was. One of his paintings was called Lemon Tree, but the tree was green, but the surrounding area's of sky and ground had a lot of yellow in them. All the paintings were large and for sale at around $4000.00 each. I liked his style a lot. I guess I just like PAINT on the canvas. You can google him to see more of his paintings. I took one picture I'll share here. www.carlplansky.com
So, I'll miss Gail's painting class starting next week in Bartlesville, but did find someone down here to help inspire me to continue. Have a good holiday weekend Doves. Oh, and Shirley's paintings were fantastic. I love the way she paints flowers. She definitely had her own style and it was fun.
