Paint Around - May 18, 2024
We will be using watercolor to create 5 unique pieces of artwork that will then be raffled off. In additional to being able to see this, you will be able to participate! There will be 2 community projects for everyone to contribute to using acrylic paint. The 2 community projects will also be raffled off. This year we will be working with the Palmetto Historical Park. We want to see you there.

Our 5 participating artists are -
Sue Lynn Cotton - She moved to Florida in 2002 allowing her to follow her dream of being a full-time fine artist. There, she began doing portraits of island houses, businesses, pets and people. Living in a beach areas she paints lots of "beauty"scenes.
Sue Lynn is also a book illustrator and book cover designer. She has illustrated over 50 children’s books. Most of these are available through Peppertree Press in Sarasota, FL. See Sue Lynn's work at SueLynnCotton.com
Sally Wooldridge - As a small child Sally initially drew animals. She had many animal companions throughout her life, and has a deep love and respect for them. Her passion for drawing turned into experimenting with pastels, acrylics, pen and ink, oils, and watercolors. Although she took a few class and workshops in drawing, Sally is basically a self-taught artist. When she discovered watercoloring, she fell instantly in love with the medium, and overtime has developed into a watercolorist. You can see her works at https://www.facebook.com/sallywooldridgeartist
