Where do I Start?!?!?!?
What a terrific meeting -- our largest turnout yet!
Of course we couldn't start our evening without a fiasco -- we showed up to get our room set and discovered that the entire facility was wall-to-wall art exhibits for the Senior High art show this weekend.
The custodians came up with the idea of letting us use the upstairs balcony that overlooks the swimming pool -- so up we headed. No easy feat with speakers, art exhibits, food, coffee pot, etc. But we were happy to have a place to meet and since we had over a dozen people show up -- it worked out great.
Where do I begin? the music? the paintings? the metal sculptures? the Mt. Dew?
Let's start the re-cap with a couple of the 1st timers to the C.A.G. Since there were 7 new people who've never been to a previous meeting -- it's going to take me several Blog entries to cover them all. I'll go into more detail with each when we post their Artist Spotlight.
David is a metal artist -- but also implements stone, wood, sand and other elements to contrast with his steel to make fantastic pieces of art. He's worked with several of his clients to create specific designs to their desires. Many of the pieces that he's done are from his own creative thinking. Someone will give him a general idea of what they're interested in, then David comes up with the actual piece. Check out his website @ www.dasadesigns.com He does a huge variety of furniture, sculpture, wall art, garden art -- the possibilities are unlimited! If your imagination can think it -- I really believe that David can CREATE it.
Mike is our first Painter to the Creative Arts Group. He's only been painting for the past year or so, but has some very elaborate, intensely detailed works. His art is very abstract and what he may have been thinking when he was painting isn't necessarily what a viewer sees when they're looking at the picture. It was very cool to hear people's interpretations of what the paintings looked like or how it invoked thoughts that Mike really hadn't intended when he originally painted the piece. Here's Mike's site: http://www.fromtheoutside.org/Gal34_From_the_Inside_Out.asp
I'm looking forward to getting these guys into our Artist Spotlight! Check back soon for the next installment.
