Enthusiastic is the word I would use to describe the mood  this morning at Brunswick Art Works' new critique group!  Off to a great start with nine people attending, including Bill Beuther who was behind the camera.  We began the meeting by discussing guidelines for the group and then doing a few critiques of work of some Master painters.  Because we were so efficient, we had time to critique a few pieces from the brave group members who chose to bring work today.  Everyone went home with an assignment:  think of a name for our group.  At the beginning of the next meeting, we'll take a vote to decide what the "official" name will be.  What a fun morning!  We will be meeting monthly, on the second Monday of each month, from 9:30 - Noon.  If you are interested in joining us, we would love to have you.  It's FREE.  Please contact Lee Beuther at leebeuther@gmail.com for more information.
