Painting Donated to High Hopes Benefit

Pirates Cove hosted a wooden boat show the weekend I was there.
To help raise awareness for the upcoming auction for High Hopes (school for special needs children) the painting I created during the demonstration was of Pirates cove with a wooden boat in the foreground.

Other photos from the Orange Beach Art Center

The setting is beautiful, on the bay and I did a painting demo under the big tree out back. I had friends who showed who were from college, from high school, from creative ventures on the coast, including my English teacher who always inspired me to do my best in writing and communication...it was such a great surprise that so many came out~

The center's dream is to build places for artists to visit and stay for weeklong or even month-long art camps. I am so excited to be a part of their new beginning.

Also posted were short stories I had written about various subjects and displayed are some fun articles I wrote for Southern Beauty Magazine.

ORANGE BEACH ART CENTER

The Orange Beach Art Center Show was a huge success...
and there is still time to go check it out, until the middle of June.
A percentage of purchases will go to the center and to High Hopes for Special Needs children who will be counseled and go to school at St. Benedicts where I was the art teacher when I lived on the coast.

It is an incredible place, right on the bay, next to the kids park.

Check it out and be sure to link to them so you can learn about art classes and a summer camp that will go on, maybe when you visit.

Blessings!
Allison
