\; Our group works primarily in water color\, but members also explore other water based media. We meet regularl y\, primarily on &ldquo\;Zoom&rdquo\; to share ideas\, discuss our work\, and to encourage pursuit of personal and collective artistic growth.
\n\; Our influences include artists we admire and respect such Georg e Post\, Eliot O&rsquo\;Hara\, Edward Hopper\, Paul Klee\, Georgia O&rsquo \;Keeffe\, Charles Demuth\, Mary Cassatt\, Winslow Homer\, John Singer Sar gent\, Andrew Wyeth\, Joaquin Sorolla and Robert Wade. You can usually see some of their influences in our work.
\n\; Our current exhibit ion\, &ldquo\;Arkansas State of Mind\,&rdquo\; is made up of our collectiv e and individual painting explorations. Central to this idea and our work\ , is that however varied our efforts\, they are also always part of imagin ing and abstracting from human experience and expression. This exhibition focuses on our work in water based media and embodies the qualities of wat er. Its fluidity\, transparency and its ubiquity make it a subtle and diff icult partner. We work individually exploring our personal visions and col lectively to share in the expansive\, varied and unpredictable results fro m our common starting point.
\n\; We are as varied as our influ ences\, and this provides &ldquo\;dynamic tension&rdquo\; both in our disc ussions and in our work.
