A quote shared by artist Patty Meglio:
“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Walk with those who have ideals, with zest to help and lift, to create and contribute. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it...”

These are most unusual times but there is beauty in this world, as well. We hope you enjoy all that these artists have captured.

We are certainly facing a difficult time in our country and in the world. We have to be grateful that the experience of seeing, hearing and creating art offers us respite from the worries surrounding us.
Until COVID passes, let’s share art any way we can. If members send Rosemary Serfilippi a photo of one of their paintings, we will post it on the website. Another sharing idea would be to exchange a photo of your work with a fellow artist and then critique each other. Don’t forget that you can go outside to paint or draw, as long as you keep your distance from others.
Also, the internet is loaded with videos on artists, techniques and analyses. Try the Yale Art Gallery or the Met. Take a free online course at MOMA. Amazon Prime has a program called “Exhibition on Screen,” which has excellent profiles of famous artists. In fact, why don’t you tell Rosemary about a video you have seen that you think others would enjoy, and we will put its location on the website.
We wish you much good health and good cheer during this stressful time.
