Painting

We started out by looking at paintings of flowers by Georgia O’Keefe, an innovative painter of the mid-twentieth century. She painted flowers from an up close perspective, hoping to share the unique way in which she personally saw them. Campers then spent a few days in the green-house, sketching the plants that they found most interesting. They then transferred their sketches to canvas, using a grid for guidance. Their finished paintings are surely unique!
