What I hope to do is to capture his warmth, his wit and the glory of his art. There are extremely few examples of his work in San Francisco, and so this is an exhibit that will be spoken of for years. Where would color be without him?  I see the day beginning at 9:30 and ending at 4 with  lunch provided. In the morning, we will begin with a tour  of his work ( I have over 30 examples), taking a note pad to jot down our quick responses, and then gather in the living room to talk about the experience. Also, I hope to shed light on why he is seen as a postimpressionist and to use his statements on art in my questions.  (We will have a break at 10:30 and lunch at 12:30.) In the afternoon, we have a brief time of movement and then there will be two hours for everyone to use any of the art materials available. As in other seminars, we will return to share our experience  with the group. What i have discovered in these art days is how many people find they can enjoy what they have created and have continued doing art without a critic on their shoulder from then on. The magic of color, and delight in what we see can make a difference in what life can bring us.

This seminar is generously supported by a sponsorship donation, allowing it to be offered at a low fee.

Note: participants will need to attend the exhibit “Pierre Bonnard: Painting Arcadia” at the Legion of Honor on their own, prior to the seminar. For more information on the exhibit, click here.
