Dieter Tremp quoted and wrote: “Drawing is the Root of Everything”
In this statement Vincent van Gogh expressed the commonly held concept of the centrality of the diligent practice of drawing for almost all of visual art. His friend Paul Gauguin added poetically, “Draw out of nature by dreaming in her presence.” Best described as an eclectic art foundry, the Bolinas Drawing Group has existed for well over thirty years. At present, its veteran member is Vickisa, and the newest addition has been Ann Vuille. The group’s size is largely determined by the studio space available. For a few years now, the group has met twice a month at the Bolinas studio of Harriet Heyman. While all artist members practice drawing together from live models as their muses, it is the only truly common denominator for their art. Highly diverse in style, materials, media, and size, the work produced by each artist in their own studio varies greatly, while still containing somewhere the commonality of drawing together.
Members of the Bolinas Drawing Group are also having shows in January. Dennis Dierks at the Stinson Beach Library, see adjacent graphic.

Right now I just have to admit that everything is broken. My computer isn’t acting right. My Internet is intermittent, and I hope that you get this and can come to have some fun and see some wonderful art.
