Thank You Tara

Drawing over at Gage this afternoon, Kathleen and I decided that a big "THANK YOU" is owed to Tara--we all now do color comps, value comps (well, most of the time) and now we are almost all doing life drawing as well, thanks to her pushing and prodding. All I can say, is what's next?????

This Month's Critique Meeting -

For this month's meeting, we returned to our old stomping grounds at the Barnes and Noble Cafe, since our normal hostess, Suzy, was not available this evening.

Michelle continues to stay busy-busy painting and teaching. Her stuff gets more beautiful all the time.

I am still waiting approvals on the latest batch of covers, so I had them to show in person to the group.

Jo brought her latest batch of horse interior drawings for critiques -

Kathleen finished up the painting she started (and was inspired to paint) at the retreat. This one in watercolor, gouache and pastels.

Gudrun and Sarah updated us on their latest adventures (Gudrun's plans to visit her daughter in Africa), (Sarah's adventures in radio producing, and being *on air*).

Treats and drinks were consumed. Books were bought. Schedules set.

Good meeting all.

Happy Halloween (almost)!

I just received a lovely (well, actually goofy!) Halloween card 

from you guys and I wanted to tell you just how much I appreciate all your sentiments! 

Mr. Jack O Lantern and I wish you all a wonderful Halloween! 

Hugs,

Rebecca

Great meeting...

Fun topics last night... trip to Africa, haunted Seattle sites, cool new painting techniques, field trip to excellent artist's studio...

Inspiration abounds!

The Inside Story -

Sorry Sarah, I'm stealing your picture. :-) My review of our Inside Story evening is over at Silver Apples. Any of the rest of you that took pictures feel free to post more images and *your* thoughts as well!
