Arts & Eats 2010 Annual Event

The Lafayette Art Center hosted its annual Arts & Eats event this past weekend. We had some wonderful volunteers to help us do our art projects with kids. We had bubbles, Lyle the Crocidile, smoothies from Rockies Coffee, and a number of arts projects.

You can take a look at the slideshow of all of the photos by clicking here.

Beginner Blog

Hello, thanks for dropping in on our new blog. I do oil paintings and display them at the Gallery in the Lafayette Library, sometimes I even sell one or two. This one is part of a series of 10 I did as a commission, for a friend who loves Irises. This was done mostly with a palette knife, which was new to me, so it was really fun.
I mostly do still life paintings, but also I love to do landscapes and flowers.

ARTFULL DAY

Practice

In a great little book, "Art and Fear," the author suggests that "the function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars." That rings true to me, but it is also a little frustrating...with limited time for art, it seems like the great art works are likely to be few and far between! Malcolm Gladwell also pointed out that people who are the best at what they do typically spent a huge amount of time practicing. So the challenge is to make the time and DO MORE ART!

Different Authors Can Now Post

Hey all LAC Artists,

Now I've figured out that I can set our blog to have different authors. So, I'll try to paste everyone's email into the form. One you accept the invitation (and if you have a google account, if you don't sign up for a gmail.com account they're great) then everyone can publish as different authors!

Best.
Cassie
