fine art + messes
There’s sketch club that meets on the 4th Monday of every month at the Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts in Millville.
I went last month for the first time and very much enjoyed it. The model, Robin was fantastic. We did a number of 1 minute croquis, a couple of 5-10 minute poses, and two 20 minute poses. I turned one of those into the oil painting pictured above. Continue reading “Figure drawing in Millville March 26”
48Blocks is doing something really cool in Atlantic City, NJ the first weekend of summer. Art will be happening all over on June 22-24.
Check it out… I think they’re still looking for artists, hosts, volunteers, and sponsors.
Another life drawing session is probably coming up next week ON!

Dear Artists,
Our next drawing session is scheduled for Thursday, 2/8. Our model will be Warren. He is a great croquois model. Let’s draw him! We can all benefit, like all artists, from working on our drawing. Bring lots of paper, and your favorite fast medium!
Who’s in? RSVP deadline is Tuesday, 2/6. 5pm.
Hoping to work with you. By the way, this life drawing group is nearly 18 years old! Possibly the oldest continually-operating life drawing group in South Jersey! Congrats to all who have kept it going!
See you Thursday a week!

Tonight’s life drawing group meeting at the Ocean City Arts Center is on.
Via Meed:
Dear Artists,
Happy 2018 to all!
Are you ready for a great painting night? We will reinstate the plan we had to cancel for December. Short-Haired Anne will be our model. She will be nude, but using props, and a theme of black, white and red. I am already intrigued. Anne is so good at making a painterly spectacle that we can be sure of a productive evening. So bring your paints and a good canvas to kick off the 2018 season!
Added bonus: See the lovely, and often narrative, work of Grace Zambelli who is showing at OCAC in January. (You can also meet her at the reception the following evening.)
Who’s in? RSVP deadline is Tuesday, January 9, 5pm.
All details are the same: OC Arts Center, 5pm – 8:45pm, $15 per session (exact change please), All mediums welcome except photography, Oil painters must clean up and dispose of terpinoid at home. We have chairs, and some easles. Artists bring everything else, including drawing board.
Newcomer? Direct questions to me via email, or *phone number* (comment if you want her number).
Can’t wait to get back to work!

Musing: What a gorgeous, severe-clear, pristine snowfall! Years ago, I would treasure days just such as this. It meant perfect viewing conditions at the old Barnes Foundation–in the upstairs room where the drawings and watercolors were, shimmering in their understated gold frames. I really miss that.
Photo gallery from the Jersey Shore Ballroom Dance Club‘s 2017 holiday dinner dance, “December to Remember” held on Sunday, Dec. 3, at Willow Creek Winery in West Cape May, NJ.
Thanks for taking the time to look. Some of the photographs in this gallery are cropped automatically when zoomed. Please contact me if you’d like to see a better version of a picture that’s cropped funny… prints are available too.
If you enjoyed these photos and want to buy me a coffee, I’d do a little happy dance 🙂
There’s a group of artists that get together and meet monthly for an evening of drawing from life.
I’m not exactly certain of the date this figure drawing group got started but I’ve been drawing with them for about 18 years. I remember first jumping in on a figure drawing night when it was held at the Ocean City Arts League down on 9th and Asbury. Continue reading “Life Drawing in South Jersey”
In October, the Gateway Playhouse in Somers Point, New Jersey further expanded their support of the arts to include featuring the work of a new local visual artist each month. The artwork can be viewed prior to the shows and during intermission and is available for purchase.
I had the opportunity to be the first artist to show my artwork at the Gateway Playhouse. My connection paintings displayed through the month of October 2017. It’s really exciting to experience the overlap of artists supporting artists. Continue reading “Visual Art Spotlight at Gateway Playhouse”
