We moved our regular meeting from the second Thursday to the first because of the desire not to alienate supportive spouses of members (next Thursday being that romantic occasion, Valentine’s Day). We had a good turn out in spite of the schedule switch-up.
Bob Foster (well known to CAPS members, of course), currently President of the Animation Guild, has mounted an exhibition in the Guild’s Gallery 839 modestly entitled THE PRESIDENT’S COLLECTION. Since we meet at the Guild’s building, this was a great opportunity for us to get a look at the things Bob has found.
As our esteemed Secretary put it in the announcement for this month’s meeting: “This is not an exhibit of art created by Bob. Rather, it is a very limited selection of items – including oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, photographs, pastels, prints and silly stuff – from his personal collection of rare and amusing objects procured from a wide variety of sources over a period of more than 35 years.”
Bob began by explaining how he came to build this collection – starting with a piece that had been in his family home when he was growing up. After that short introduction, we headed downstairs to take a gander.
(These pictures were taken with my tablet — I’m still learning how to handle its camera.)
I always find it interesting to see different pieces of art, as well as seeing what catches someone else’s attention. The result of this occasion was a pleasant evening of socailizing and talking about art in general. (Plus we got another female into the group, as a new member was approved last night! I always approve of that.)
