Art Discussion Meeting, Thursday, May 19, 9am, O'Connors

Thursday, May 19, 9am*, O'Connors

Suggested Table Topic: “Artist Secrets”! Do you know of another artists “secret” that they have shared with you (or do YOU have a secret that you can share with us)? Yes, we know that once you tell us it will no longer be a “secret”! (This would be something like a color that an artist swears by --and the reason why-- and/or any little thing that is not widely known. ie: (Artist name) uses radiant blue in his portraits, etc. Any “favorite” thing (yours or someone elses) will qualify.

Let's Discuss!
