Silk Road Art Guild

I am happy to report that two artists, Diane Leonard Senge and Grace Hoffmann are hanging an exhibit as we speak at the Sterling Senior Center. It is a celebration of sorts on the obvious viability of this group of artists whom espouse the classical Chinese, Japanese, and Indian art forms. Do come and see for yourself that the Silk Road Art Guild is alive and well.

At last we will be mounting another exhibit at the Boylston Public Library, May 6-30, 2023. Stop by to see the latest offerings. The artists reception will be held on Sat. May 6, 2023 from 11am-1pm.

The Silk Road Guild is making a public comeback! We are exhibiting at the Boylston Public Library from November 12-29 during library hours.

Spring is upon us! Paint plum, narcissus, and snow drops.

I just went through our photo album and am again impressed by the quality of the work and the growth that is shown from our beginning 9 years ago. I am so proud to be part of such talented bunch of folks. Take a look when you have 10 minutes to spare. I did delete some duplicates but none of the candid photos taken by a variety of folks at our workshops, openings and monthly meetings.

The 19th of May is here and we have a possibility of some openings happening this week and next. Today, we will share a few of the last of the four paragons, the plum blossom. It is a favorite of some of our artists for good reason. It signifies to promise of new life, blooming on bare branches in very early spring. Enjoy!

Today is May 14 and I hope all of you out there are staying well and safe. I will be posting the third of the paragons, the Chrysanthemum.

Today the posting continues with the second of the four paragons, the Bamboo. This subject is used to teach basic strokes, the bone stroke, the bamboo leaf stroke , the node stroke and the nail head. Enjoy the creations of our artists.

Here is a new/old review of the glorious grass Orchid, a tiny delicate flower. It teaches basic brush strokes for the beginner and provides joy and excitement for any Artist who delights in the delicacy of this plant. The grass Orchid is a symbol of purity and elegance. The images come from several artists who are also members of the Silk Road Art Guild. Check the identifying information by clicking on specific images. Enjoy!

So today, I will show you some of the fine line paintings that I have done over the years. I do like working in this style and often go on a binge of making flower and bird paintings. Enjoy!

Ok! Today we will go back to "fineline" painting with a few images from Diane Leonard Senge. Diane's back ground as a graphic artist shows through in these fine examples.

So today, before we leave Helen S., I want to show you her take on Landscape. Great talent!
