  1. Work in Progress – Bob Ross was Right!

    September 30, 2011 by Administrator

    I am working in water mixable oils. This is great fun.

    I painted this landscape. It appeared very bland. I remembered that Bob Ross always added a big tree in the foreground of his paintings. I’m a big Bob Ross fan. One day I would like to take a formal Bob Ross class.

    Well, of course Bob was right! I added that big tree in the foreground. Bob Ross always calls this your “bravery test”. I was afraid I would mess up the whole painting when adding the tree. But I was brave and it was worth it. I think the painting is much better with the tree.

    September 24, 2011 by Administrator

    REO Town was hit by the First Annual Art Attack!  Saturday , September 24, 2011. The REO Town Art Attack! Festival was an art showcase, competition and festival  sponsored by REO Town Commercial Association (RTCA).  This premiere event was an opportunity to see the artist’s creative process first hand..

    Attendees enjoyed various music offerings including a local rapper named PHILTHY and the band Ben Keeler and The 500 Club. The center stage of this event  was  the various visual artists who created works on site.  Finished works of art were also available for sale.

    The REO Town Art Attack! Festival brought creative art to REO Town.  This annual event is a great (hopefully permanent) addition to the Lansing Art Calendar,
