Back Porch Painters will meet today Jan. 15 at 11 AM at the Gallery on Two Notch Rd. Columbia, SC. Sandra Phaup will make announcements for this seasons paint gatherings and for the gallery space. Come one, Come All, If you have ever studied with Ilona Royce Smithken, paint in impressionistic style or you are a friend of Sandra's; come on down. The Back Porch painters is a friendly group that has taken classes in Impressionism in Oils with Ilona Royce Smithken. We all paint on canvas and even though some of us also paint in acrylics, it is pretty much an oil painters group. Bring your own art supplies.
This portrait by Jean Bourque is called "Contemplation" and it is an example of the impressionistic style we have learned. Ilona is a NYC Artist in the winter, residing in Grenwich Village and a Provincetown, Cape Cod Artist in the summer. Cape Cod is just south of Boston, MA and just north of Providence RI. Provincetown, is at the very tip of Cape Cod and has the most beautiful views, especially on a clear day. Although the water tends to be be very cold even in summer, it is the summer home to many famous artists, writers and performers. It is a great place to go to get inspired.
