A theme of summer bugs and flowers - August 2018

Yes, there are many MANY themes that come to mind at the mention of summertime in Wisconsin, but the theme and idea of bugs was very prevalent in many of the month's art sessions. This is something that Resident Artist Amy kept a feel of - what was on the minds of residents, and what would they have fun depicting in their artwork?  The idea of bugs (mainly butterflies!) and flowers (of course with gorgeous blooms) are simply favorites of our artists. 

And indeed, this IS the time of year when there are many flying and crawling critters abound. Amy brought in beautiful photos of dragonflies, ladybugs, bees, and butterflies to help serve as inspiration. But the floods in south/central Wisconsin were also on the minds of many reisdents - and discussion did turn to Mother Nature during sessions for a while.
