Down by the River

 13 July 2022 Wednesday eve

This past week was Arts Walk downtown Stevens Point, WI.  Fun to get out and see what the artists are showing as they are hosted by the small businesses on Main Street to display their work.  Also the galleries (Gallery Q and Riverfront) are open with interesting exhibits. 

I went down and did a quick sketch down sitting on a bench by the Wisconsin River next to the Riverfront Arts Gallery as part of my being out and about as an artist.  The ducks were curious and came over to check me out, but I had nothing to offer as food so they left.  

Then home for a cookout and dinner on the back deck with family.

The next Arts Walk is Wednesday, September 14.  LINK for Arts Walk.





Ended the day today, July 20 listening to an enjoyable performance by Peter Thomas in Belts’ parking lot.

Summer in the City- out sketching in Waupaca

 July 9, 2022 Saturday

A day out with Plein Air Painting in Waupaca on Saturday, July 9.

The weather was perfect for being out and about and painting with others on Saturday.   Dan and Karin worked in Oil and I worked in Watercolor. Enjoyable to share the time and learn together as we practice our skills "en plein air."  We were surprised to learn that we all have work on exhibit in galleries this month in Stevens Point.  Dan is at the Gallery Q and Kathe and Karin have work on display in the Riverfront Arts Center VISIONS XXIII juried exhibit ( RAC Facebook page  and announcement).

And . . . . . . . two more sketching events coming up, one with the Stevens Point City Arts Walk on July 13, and the other with the WorldWide SketchCrawl.  See the link for more information on those events:
