October 2010 Round Robin




What a great turnout for the October AB meeting!

We all enjoyed the stories which explained the process behind such fabulous artwork. The presentation and expression of ideas, history, and techniques by all truly enrich our AB experience.

"Art gropes, it stalks like a hunter lost in the woods, listening to itself and to everything around it, unsure of itself, waiting to pounce."

  3. I never get tired of studying all the work that everyone produces each round. A monthly 1 1/2 hour meeting just doesn't give us enough time to savor all the beautiful pages of art. Thank you Debbie & Darrell for starting this blog and maintaining it so all of us can continue to admire and be inspired by the artwork created by this very talented group of artists!
