JANUARY ART CHALLENGE
January's challenge proved to be an interesting one. Entitled "Do You See What I See?", our challenge was to pick a photo from a total of ten photos that we submitted to the group. The photos submitted should have had interesting areas in the composition. We could do a painting approximately 8 x 10 of the winning photo. The winner was a photo of Swift Current with its autumn colours. Several of us picked a section of the photo to paint, while others painted the more expansive composition. After the paintings were completed, we met for a critique and general discussion of the challenge. Thanks Pat for an interesting exercise. Our next challenge is to interpret the poem "Snowflakes" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Here are the paintings we completed for the challenge.

NOVEMBER ART CHALLENGE
This post is long overdue, please accept our apologies. The Fall season has quickly been taken over by cold and snowy days. Although the fall colour has long waned, we take one last look at the richness of colour that is harvest time.
There is no challenge for December as everyone is busy with preparations for the holiday season. Here are the paintings we completed for the challenge.

A new season for Art Challenges!
This month we usher in fall, a delightful time for an artist. Rich in colour, fall inspires us to get back to painting after our successful fall show on October 1st.
We are restarting our monthly art challenges with a theme of "Harvest Time". As usual, the medium and style of the painting is left to each artist to decide and we are free to interpret the subject in our own way. The challenge runs until Nov 20, 2016 when we will unveil our paintings to you.
Feel free to paint your interpretation and share it with us.
Happy Fall and Happy Painting!!!!
