Portraits of Nature: Doberstein and Reid

Oil painting demonstration by Sara Jane Doberstein from 3:30 to 4:30; opening reception for Sara Jane and Cynthia Reid from 5:00 to 7:00. Nature in its many guises comforts the soul and brings new light each day. Nature gives gifts asking nothing in return except kindness and respect.
