Guild meeting

 

Last night was Lakewood Artist Guild’s first fall meeting.  As I’ve mentioned before, many attendees bring what they are currently working on and the guild votes on favorites.     I have to admit I enjoy seeing my paintings up with all the others.   Last night, the paintings were spread out so far, I just  took a quick picture of my latest along with the ones sitting close by.  We had a great time doing something somewhat surprising.   Our speaker has been a teacher for 37 years and also teaches several children’s groups (one has a membership of 60!).    She brought a wide range of the materials she uses for us to sample.  True, they were primarily by Crayola, but I was stunned at the array of different materials and colors, including brush crayons, and wipe-offs. There was also quite a few pencils in beautiful colors  It’s definitely worth a look at a store, like Michaels, or Blick to see what’s available – for you or your kids.  Not just your old 8 piece color crayon set any more, that’s for sure!
