art day for Jen

I had a great time today with my friend and mentor Cynthia. It was an interesting exhibit. There were 15 artist and they were given 5 objects to paint. The objects were a ball of string, a mirro, glass of water, trukey leg bone and a moth. I was fun seeing how the artist incorporated these objects into a painting. My favorite was a large painting of a woman holding a glass of water. She was sitting on an old vinyal chair wearing a faded grey sweat outfit. There was a frig next to her. The door was open and the frig was bear except for the bone. On the frig there was a moth magnet holding a picture. Reminded me of my struggling days in St. Louis. Had a very real feel to the painting and a very cleaver way of using objects that seem to have nothing in common. Very cool in the starving artist way.
Then Cynthia and I strolled around the outside of the Englewood City Center and studied different sculptures. Cynthia new all the artist. After a lovly out door experience we went to the Art Depo center. This is were the Littleton Art Guild has there shows. I have been wanting to join this art guild for some time. I was able to pick up and application and believe with in the next few weeks should be accepted in. This will be great for me and my art. They have many shows all year long for the artist to display their work. Also very inexpensive annual fee. You also volunteer once a month too work at the gallery. I am actually very excited about the possibilites. I will be able to talk and be around other artist. Fun stuff. Very productive and fun day for me. I really enjoy the art world. Have a great weekend.

Love
Jennifer
