Artist of the Month

Lynn's original watercolor is titled “Bistro”. She painted this quite a while ago. Her inspiration came from perusing some travel brochures of Paris because she wishes to one day travel there.

Debbe's piece, "Rue De Paris". is an oil painting that was inspired by a photograph taken in Paris in January 2020. Debbe and her family were visiting Paris at a time when there was one of many train strikes so they were forced to walk everywhere on this cloudy and drizzly day. The photo that was the inspiration for the painting includes her daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren and is done in a limited palette of colors.
