EVENING PROGRAM

We created a rose garden - but I didn't get quite all of the lovely roses into the frame.

We are fortunate to have some great community hospitals in our area. For the second time I was invited to one to give a demo and class for cancer patients, cancer survivors and their families.

When I did this a few years ago, we all created a sunflower in watercolor. I was surprised and pleased to hear that one woman liked hers so much that she framed it!

This time we painted a rose in fluid acrylic. Some of the attendees had never painted anything before, some had experience, but not in this medium.

We went just a little past our allotted time, and I think that everyone learned something and had fun.

A few people stayed and had their photos taken with their paintings.

Mothers and daughters - all did a great job!

The hospital offers different programs for their patients throughout the year. Presentations such as mine allow them to forget about their problems for a little while – and create a work of art in the process!
