What PWAS Members Are Up to This Summer Part 2
Here's another blog post from the Prince William Art Society members, where I ask a question and await to see who answers. The question posted was, "What have you been up to this summer so far?" I wondered and asked the members to send me what they've been up to, any new artwork, taking any classes, going somewhere for a vacation, or just plain taking a break. Let's have a look what the artist's days have been filled with.

As July comes to an end I wonder myself where this summer has gone. I have not done much art these past few months, but rather spent time with family at the pool or beach. I have taken pictures and gathered a lot of memories to get me to next summer. I have tried my hand at perspective painting with architecture. A real challenge for me, however I feel I made progress from my last attempt. I also finished a painting that I started in the spring of a flower that my neighbor had grown. I am also including a watercolor picture I painted at a class I took at the beginning of summer. That was just so much fun!!

I've been working on a couple of paintings when I get time for I have been a little busy. I have been giving classes on engraving to individual students, doing restoration work on firearms, and engraving on knives and firearms. Here are a few silver point drawings and engraving on a Buck knife of birds of prey.
We all love seeing the art that our PWAS members are up to and get a glimpse into their lives and processes. Thank you to all that input into these 2 posts! Follow us to watch what's coming next!

I continue to do daily sketches on my sketchbook and therefore learning to see things differently and getting better at line drawing.
We also visited the ArtFactory in Manassas and the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria.
Also took a trip to Richmond and visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts where they have the exhibition on Frida. That night they also had Jazz night at the museum which was an evening of music and art with lots of art enthusiasts.
Before summer ends we plan to visit the National Gallery of Art and The Phillip Collection in Washington, DC
Here are some photos from the VMFA.
Thank you to everyone that participated! Looks like a great summer!
