June 25 Different Strokes: 10 Artists, Same Scene

This show will be fascinating, as we asked 10 artists to paint the same scene, from a photo provided.  Everyone perceives things differently, and every artist paints what they see in a different way. That is the great fun of this show, seeing how different each painting is, although each artist was looking at the same photo as they painted. The artists are: Joan Sporn, Sheila Hancock, Jean Baird, Tonya Bottomley, Bennette Rowan, John Anderson, Bob Francisco, Sherrill Wieland, Brennen McElhaney (painting at left), Jean Pollock, and Maria Santomasso-Hyde.
