Drawn Together at Red Pines Cafe

The artist group "Drawn Together met to draw there this Wednesday. As always fellow artists sketched and enjoyed the ambience of Lake Onalaska while enjoy specialty coffees, tea, bloody mary, a scone or a sandwich.

Following is an update of sketches of mine at various locations we've gone to draw for the last year. It's interesting to see the changes in my drawing styles.

Missing the Goats

 

Threes Company 8x10 oil 

 

It's not often you get to see goats at Elmaro Vineyard and Winery. They bring them in to eat the underbrush on the property. During Street Market Sunday on June 9  I had the opportunity to visit with them. These three I took a photo of. I was on the premises to paint plein air with the Artists from the Refuge and when done I painted these three from my photo reference. It's about the only way I can paint moving objects.

Sorry if you missed the goats. I was also absent this past Sunday in order to attend a wonderful workshop with artist Mary Pettis in the Cities. But I'll be back this coming Sunday to continue to paint with my fellow artists.

Hope to see you then. I'll have plenty of unframed artwork available also to purchase.

 Spent Saturday afternoon at Riverside Park enjoying Artspire. So much in fact that when I came home I hit the studio and made 2 paintings. Titled Chalkwalk 1 and 2.

Congrats Kari Hogden

 A big shout out to Kari, fellow artist, painting buddy and amazing person, on being awarded second place for her painting in the 100th Anniversary of the Upper Mississippi River Pools 7&8.

Kari is one of the artists on display at Elmaro Winery in the crush pad with Artists from the Refuge.

You may also see her on one of Sunday's Street Market at Elmaro, plein air painting or drawing with other artists. I had the opportunity to plein paint some of the lupine at Trempealeau Refuge. Her painting really captures the gloriuous range of colors.
