Vince, The Organizer

I made the deadline!  June 1 is the deadline for our mugshots of the Hilton Head Gang.  It was an intimidating challenge for me.  I am so thankful for our new bond of friendships and look forward to what we take on next.
This is Vince, The Organizer.  Here is what Maria has to say about him:
"Vince “ The Organizer” is an adjunct member of the notorious Hilton Head Gang.  Vince is the one who made everything at the fabulous Karin Jurick workshop run smoothly.  He is calm, reassuring and more than helpful.  He has tried to disassociate himself from the group but once a Hilton Head Gang member...always a Hilton Head Gang member.  It is like the Hotel California...you can check in any time you want...but you can never leave...hahahahahahahahaha......"
Maria has a gift for the pen and paintbrush. 

Mugshot "Red"

Sheryl was fun to paint.  I started with a bronze metallic underpainting. I've been doing that recently for some things.  Works great with landscapes.  I think that it helped to capture some of her "fire"!  This one just came off my brush.  Doesn't happen often but, gosh! doesn't it feel good when it does?

Linda "Goldie"

Here comes "Glittering Goldie".  She can be found on her island of Hilton Head when not traveling the world.  Befriend her quickly and you will be graciously invited to her home.   Despite her petite stature, she is formidable and her shots from the hip can land anywhere. check her out at:  http://lindanicklesfineart.blogspot.com/

Dawn "The Shadow"

I skipped Week 12 of the Hilton Head Gang.  It was Dawn "The Shadow" Hartigan.  Perhaps her named says it all.  Don't you skip her.  There is only one way to bring her out of the shadows and into the open.  check out her blog at http://dawnhartigan.blogspot.com

Hilton Head Gang

 The group of elusive artists who attended Karin Jurick's workshop have "thrown in" together to form a gang named the Hilton Head Gang, alias HHG.    They found a unique commonality and have formed a cohesive effort to become criminally dedicated to their artistic endeavors.

Here is what MH , mariahock.blogspot.com,  has to say about them:
"Week 8 finds us looking for Nancy "The Guardian" Darling, so named because of her help with rescue dogs.  She often travels with a large  pack of dogs which hampers her ability to shoot but that does not prevent her from trying.  She used the dogs to attract unsuspecting subjects then while they are being distracted...she shoots.  It is a devious but very effective plan.  I hear she and her pack will be heading up to Alaska to participate in the Iditarod...that may be a false lead...just be on the lookout..."
