Art Reception and
Pastel Experimentation
Saturday, April 4, 2009
between 1 and 4 p.m.
at the Bangor Public Library
Bangor, Maine.

The exhibit is on display throughout the month of April.
Welcome
On a drizzly Saturday afternoon in April, patrons gathered at the Bangor Public Library for an afternoon filled with color.





They came to view art...
and they came to create art.




Our daughter Sadie came along to help.
At one point, she was 'starving!'
Not to worry, Sadie.
We had plenty of still lifes to munch on.




We set up still life stations throughout the Stairwell Gallery.



And invited people to come and try pastels.
No experience necessary.



At 1:00 folks began gathering.
They came with an open mind,
a willingness to try, and a desire to create.
They were provided with drawing boards, sanded paper
and trays of soft pastels.



After sharing a few tips,



everyone chose a comfortable spot and began playing.



There was time for individual assistance and for asking
and answering lots of questions about pastels.




Some painted,
some browsed...







...and all enjoyed themselves.
Thanks to all who attended. Your enthusiasm is inspiring.
And thanks to Sadie,
the official photographer of
the event, whose help not
only makes things flow
smoothly, but makes
everything more fun.
