Betty Mitchell / Gallery Visits

 My granddaughter and I  visited the Reynold's Gallery and the Visual Arts Hand Workshop Galleries.  Ray Kass' work is so big!  We decided he had to make buckets of wash to paint such large pieces.  Just looking at his work explained allot about this week's assignments.

I found a lovely  watercolor,  by Nell Blaine called "Fishing Boats,"  at the Visual Arts Center that I just loved. It was small compared to Kass' work. The vibrant colors were applied  in a  watery wash with  loose broad brush strokes... The image is implied and though there is little detail, the mast and  boats are rendered perfectly.  I can only aspire to paint so loose!
