Oil painter Dianne Gardner has a monthly gathering at her studio for several South Kitsap and Gig Harbor artists. The next gathering will be Thursday, January 14, which is tomorrow (sorry about the short notice). It’s from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be two models available to paint, draw or sculpt. The models will hold one pose for 20-minute intervals with time-out for lunch, which Dianne says is potluck. The cost is $15. Her studio is located at 9385 Olalla Valley Road, Port Orchard. You can reach Dianne at gardnersart@wavecable.com, or check out her Web site here: http://gardnersart.com I’m particularly fond of her piece “The Poultry Keeper,” not just because it’s a stunning piece of art, but the Artful Blogger has just finished painting a chicken — they’re not easy subjects.
Dianne says she will send me some of the results of January’s gathering. I can’t wait.
I sent you some photos.
