When you are at work, during your lunch break, take a sketch book and use it to make doodles or rough sketches of ideas floating in your head. Then when you are at home, review the sketches and plan for a bigger piece. Or visit a museum if there is one near you. On the weekends get out in the early morning or late afternoon and look at the sky and your surroundings. Look at the marvelous sky and the way the rising sun
lights the sky in all of its splendor. If you don't have time to sketch or you say you can't draw, take a photograph. With digital cameras today, you can shoot as many pictures as you like and then print only the ones that really appeal to you.
Then there are the many art festivals that take place throughout the region. Just because we don't have a meeting in July or August, doesn't mean you have to do without art. Make it, or visit a museum, see a show or a concert.
This blogger will be doing something that combines the passion of history and art. I will be demonstrating on Independence Mall, in Philadelphia, on July 3rd. I will be using the three primary colors and creating small landscapes and such, using some of the tools that were used by 18th Century Limners. I will be posting some of these in the future.
Whatever you will be doing this summer, remember.....
