August 25th saw the gathering of 17 eager participants in a workshop based on Nelson Surette. They first met in The Gallery to look at the art under the guidance of Darcy d’eon and gain insight into its historic setting by art historian Candace Clements. From there they progressed to the Community Room where Dan Earle and Darcy d’Eon guided and encouraged their painting. The unique portion was that there were no brushes used as many of Nelson Surettes paintings were done using his fingers. Also, like Nelson Surette, it was suggested the artists paint from their head about things with which they were familiar.

A few sample images below. There were many more.
