Although a small group, we had some lovely work to critique.  I think we all came away feeling we had  gained something from the experience.

We had a wide variety of styles and media represented this evening.  It is so scary to present your art to a group, especially in public, and especially if you are a relatively new artist.   Of course, it is also difficult to critique..   I applaud everyone who participates in these critiques for being willing to risk.  We're all learning.
