Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to those who participated in the Old Town paintout last Friday night.

We will not have a scheduled paintout for Monday, July 4th. Please enjoy your holiday.

Happy Birthday USA.

For those of you painting the 30 Coos County Parks, it should be a good time to get out there and paint people enjoying the parks.

Thanks.
Ava
