Day 23- Tom Semmes, Glen Kessler

Day 23- Glen Kessler snuck into the Stone Tower early today to fix the upper left corner of the Self Portrait/Still Life painting.  "It has been really bothering me," said Glen, "I wasn't planning on working on it anymore, but I had a great idea and came in early to knock it out."
Tom Semmes finished up the day with some decisive surgery to the Carousel Painting.  "Now it's exciting!" said Tom, "It was kind of hovering between a really serious painting and... the hot dog painting.  I think that it's more unified with the balloons."
Personally, its a welcome view of a carousel that has been painted so seriously for so long.  It's nice to view the carousel much like a kid does, exciting!

There are a few loose ends that will be tackled when Jordan Bruns paints on our final day in the tower.  "Just clean up the last of the loose ends!" Bruns says, "For the most part, the paintings are done and I'm really excited about the work we ended up with.  I had moments of fear, but I  think that we came together in the ends to make good paintings."
 
Be sure to stop by tomorrow for our "Yellow Barn Open House" from 11:00-5:00pm.  You can see demos by our instructors and also have the chance to bid on the 3 collaboration paintings we've been working so hard to create!  They'll be worth something someday!

Keep checking back to our Yellow Barn Blog for any news regarding our instructors and their events.  They'll notify you here about art openings or events in the future!

Cheers!
