La Paula Herrera patinates a sculpture

 

Here are some candid photos of señora Herrera in our courtyard. Pat Brutchin was teaching her how to patinate her sculpture.

Her recent performance of Chilean folk music at the Old Town School was a great success.

Started by an illustrator, the Urban Sketchers seem more more about journalism and than the PAPC which has annual shows at the Palette.

Witness their manifesto:

Urban Sketchers Manifesto 

We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation. 

Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel. 

Our drawings are a record of time and place. 

We are truthful to the scenes we witness. 

We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles. 

We support each other and draw together. 

We share our drawings online. 

We show the world, one drawing at a time.

 

They also seem to be more about teaching and recruiting.

 

Yet  much their work does indeed look like plein air painting to me.

This is her homage to Milton Avery - executed on an I-pad with Procreate.

 No one captures the grittiness and weight of reality better than Don.
