Art with friends

I spent a good portion of yesterday doing art, chatting about art, and eating surrounded by art in the lovely and interesting home of an incredible artist in Blacksburg, Darcy Meeker.  She works in stone carving and copper and abstract paper on canvas and ink and clay and jewelry and notecards. She inspires me to keep on experimenting in many different mediums until I am smitten with the two or three that I can concentrate on.

Around the table, Darcy and Charlotte, normally a watercolor painter of enormous flowers and such, worked on copper. I sketched and then began to ink an amazing clump white birch tree.  Bookmaking Becca Imbur came buy to show her best creation, beautiful little daughter named River.

It was a lovely time. Creative sharing and supporting of the best kind.
