SUMMARY:Art Play for Grown-Ups : Seasons on Canvas at The Village Green
DESCRIPTION:Unleash your inner artist and reconnect with the joy of creating at Art Play for Grown-Ups: Seasons on Canvas—a lively\, hands-on session with Showhouse Artists Jessie Mackay\, Cynthia Perryman\, and Brenda Sulmonetti. \nIn this no-pressure\, all-fun environment\, participants will collaborate on three large canvases\, each celebrating a season in the mountains—Spring\, Summer\, and Fall. With oil paint sticks as your only tool (no brushes\, no turpentine!)\, it’s all about mark-making\, color\, and playful expression! \nWhat to Bring: \n• A love of color\n• A child’s enthusiasm\n• An apron (or wear your painting clothes!) \nWhether you consider yourself an artist or just want to play like one for the day\, this is your invitation to make bold marks\, celebrate the seasons\, and create something joyful—together. \nPicasso: “Every child is an Artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” \nA big thank you to JFM Enterprises for donating canvases for this event!
