Geri's HALLOWEEN tree.
Happy Halloween to all!
On October 14 the Phoebes met in Alameda to celebrate their 36th anniversary. Everyone brought delicious food items to contribute, and our serving table was overloaded with delicious appetizers, salads, hot dishes, breads, pastries and desserts.Daisy brought all the materials needed for everyone to participate in an enrichment session. She demonstrated how to draw the outline of a desired object with oil pastels and then paint in a colorful background using liquid watercolors.
The feast was followed by a huge "show and tell" which included our previous challenges to create "junk journals" (from Sharon's enrichment session) and items representing Autumn, fall holidays, leaves and nature.
*Please note that due to the many photos and text in this month's blog post, it will be comprised of two separate posts. Don't forget to scroll down to part 2 which will follow below this post.

Enrichment
Above are Jennifer, Suzanne and Colleen—busy drawing and painting as they use the materials Daisy supplied.
Equally concentrating and creating were Sharon, Anne, Geri, Harlene and Kathy. Below are some of the completed paintings. It's definitely and quick and simple way to create a colorful painting.
Thank you, Daisy!
Show and Tell
Junk Journals
Sharon brought one of her many, many beautiful books. They are all amazing works of art!
Each page is filled with dainty pastel ephemera. Some pieces create pockets in which to store even more decorated papers.
This book was created by Sally. Once again, a unique work of art filled with her original paintings and sketches.
The book cover above and pages below were created and assembled by Sue. This one is an amazing collage of photos, which include family members and Halloween ephemera. It is truly a precious family keepsake.
She has created several of these books over the years and they are certainly treasures!
This book was created by Suzanne R, who incorporated her favorite colors.
Obviously, an homage to her work at the Oakland Zoo!
Suzanne, you are indeed clever!
Donna gathered a handful of matching scrapbook papers and glued them in her "junk journal" for Sharon's challenge.
It was a good feeling to put to use some of her art supply stash.
Please continue to the next post, which is the second part of the October post!
