I think this is one of the best things about getting older… (thanks for the quote, Purple Clover). 

It’s spring! Out for exercise walks – golly, I’m out of shape. This too will pass – it’s spring! 

I met with a lot of courageous people yesterday. Some are brand new into art. It takes a lot of courage to sign up for your first art class as an adult. Good for you! Others have done art for awhile, some for years. They still need courage because they are now looking to move away from realism and grow their own unique style. That’s not easy either – but it is fun. Thanks to each of my wonderful students for the spirit of adventure that you bravely bring to art class. Happy painting! 

How we perceive colour has been the subject of many recent scientific studies. Here’s an interesting one: No One Could See the Colour Blue Until Modern Times – by Kevin Loria  And, to my surprise, I could not distinguish which colour was a different green in the chart. Can you? 

There has been a super response to my offer to teach private, semi-private, or group of 3 art lessons in my studio. They start soon! Check out the details here (scroll down when on the page): Art Courses with Cheryl O “The Dance” Acrylic, photo reference W. Noordermeer, 24″ x 24″ $525. + HST. 

 

I will be teaching about this style of painting in “Group of Seven & Beyond” which starts mid April at Westmount Library. More info here: Art Classes with Cheryl O “Of Mists & Mountains” acrylic – 24″ x 30″, photo reference W. Noordermeer. Available from the artist $825. + HST
