My Town
I am slowly getting more and more
involved in the arts here
"Paint The Town" event was great.
15 artists signed up
to paint scenery around town
There was a luncheon for all of us
and a cocktail party on Friday evening
Sunday we had an outdoor event
right in the middle of town,
to show off our works of art
Awards handed out and a few sales too !
Painted by artist Jamie Morath I had a hand in designing the shape, cutting, and sanding the wood... preparing the piece for Jamie to paint |
Loveland businesses and folks painted by my friend Jamie Morath |
One day last week I decided
to set up my easel and paint this scene

So that is "Paint" the Town"
