The Tuesday Night Group

The Tuesday Night Group has met every Tuesday night, come hell or high water, for the past 20 or so years, to spend the night drawing, painting, sculpting and discovering the meaning of life. For the past 10 (can it really be 10 years!?!) we have met in Micheline's studio at 52 O Street #202. Members come and go. Some are currently in California, Russia, Argentina, Hawaii, New York and India. But they always return sooner or later.

Ricky Darell Barton creates paintings that focus on portraits and abstractions that combine ground, color, and symbols for a unique style of his own.


Alejandro Bermudez-Del-Villar explores the multiple possibilities of perception and expression through watercolors.

  • South America - Watercolor on Paper 18'x24"

  • JJ Doney is currently an architecture student, so in an attempt to stay loose and creative in the face of Auto-CAD and parallel rulers, he tries to do weekly pastel brown bag studies of the human form, usually done in 20 minutes or less, with emphasis on contour lines and deep shadows to express a specific moment in time.

  • Dozing Off - Charcoal on paper, 18" x 24"
  • Sole Study - Pastel on paper, 18" x 24"

  • Johnny Dukovich works in charcoal, pastels, and oils. Using realism as a base, he continues to explore newways to see and represent the human form.

  • In the Artist's Studio - Charcoal on paper, 11" x 14"
  • Michael - Charcoal and pastel on paper, 14" x 17"

  • Yayo Grassi is known for his powerful portraits and acute social commentary.

  • The Freedom of Peace - mixed media sculpture, 20" x 13" x 10"

  • David Israel is a poet, videographer and musician currently on sabbatical in Bhopal. His work and life are steeped in Eastern philosophy and his oil paintings echo the rhythms of Indian poetry and music.

  • Perchance to Dream - oil painting, 16" x 24"

  • Edgar Brett Kitchen paints in both oil and acrylics, using vivid colors and expressive forms to execute works of portraiture, the human figure, and various types of abstracts. He recently took an extended sabbatical for nearly three years in Central America, where tropical colors and Mayan styles have influenced his work.

    Renato Salazar has been a Washington artist for many years since moving here from Chile in the 1970's. He is a master of the subtlest color pencil drawings in which his highly realist figures seem to float on surreal backgrounds.
