Exchanging Knowledge, Techniques, Stories and Laughter.

The further the creation of the COMMUNITY SYMBOLIC TREE develops, the more I realize the mutual and beneficial connection I'm making with each participant member of our community: exchanging knowledge, techniques, ideas, stories and laughter. It is a truly enriching experience. 

 

The following photos summarize what happened in the past three sessions.

At the East Syracuse Free Library, Onondaga Art Guild president, Angela Arrey-Wastavino added beautiful field flowers to the grassy hill using a palette knife to apply the colors on canvas.
At the LaFayette Public Library, Connie Marion helped refining the blades of grass in the foreground. She was very kind and showed me her book, which include trees she painted throughout her life accompanied with her memoir.

At the DeWitt Community Library, Nick Lozoponi senior and junior helped painting the section of the hill near the roots of the tree. They applied thin coats of dark and light greens to create the effect of lights and shadows. 


From 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, I will be at the Marcellus Free Library, 32 Maple St., Marcellus. I will bring the 48-inch by 36-inch canvas and acrylic paints.

I can accommodate 2 signups. Participants must be 16 years and older. To signup email me at mariarizzoart@gmail.com. Participants don't need to be experienced painters, I will give some instruction in painting to each painter during his or her 25-minute session.
