October LAG Meeting


Members of the LAG had a short business meeting followed by a critique. Tony and Sandra Guzzo, Gerry Jones, Erika Ziegler, and Jeanie Schlump all brought in work for critique. The program featured proper presentation of work including the size choice of matting and floating mats for small 3D collectibles. Members are encouraged to bring in work for critique and help with presentation. LAG meetings are always held the first Saturday of the month at 10:00 AM in Room 110 of LCCC in Laramie. Inger Mehring provided the LAG with these photographs.

Benched


Jeanie Schlump was awarded first place in the 2009 LAG Membership Show. Judge Mike Beeman enjoyed the use of painterly style versus flat graphic rendering, color to no color, and the overall compositional structure with shifts and counter shifts.

Old Spaniard


I am still trying to finish this pastel portrait of the Spanish gentleman who modeled for the LAG 2 months ago. It is difficult since I no longer have the model and I am having to imagine some of the facial details. The portrait has been brought as close to fruition as I can without having the model as a reference. Live modeling sessions are free to all LAG members.
