Our wonderful Girl Scout troop stopped by to get inspiration as they work on their painting badge. They loved seeing local spots that they could recognize like Sandra Bells painting  "Timber Island, Summer Evening" which depicts the local deep dock that they swim out too during the summer time. They also enjoyed "Sunny Breaks" by Gay Freeborn because it reminded them of our gallery very own golden dog, Captain. They stopped to talk about so many pieces I could type away all day. 

They also learned about the variety of painting styles we have in the gallery. They learned about egg tempera, plein air, water colors, oils, impressionistic versus realistic, pigment pulp, and felting. They had to do a second loop through the gallery to see what they might have missed the first time around. 

After they left they went back to their normal meeting spot to work on their very own creations. It will be exciting to see what they come up with! Who knows maybe one day they will be hanging up among our many talented artist.
