Adult Intro to Art - February Mixed Media Painting Class Series: A Success, Artfully Done!
The February Adult Intro to Art - Mixed Media Class Series with Kristen Marino was attended by 22 members of the Community. Everyone had a great time, and quite a few are already signing up for the March Series (see below). Over a third took all four classes. Many of the attendees had little to no prior experience creating art; see some of the results from the Paint an Expressive Seascape class in this image.

Sunday Farmers Market
Every Sunday, 10:00am - 3:00pm
Our Sunday Farmers Market is going strong!
Attendance from both vendors and you, our Community, continues to grow. The large, open area provides plenty of social distancing space. The 10am to 3pm hours each Sunday provide an alternative for those who work during the week, or, are looking for the products that our vendors provide that aren't typically found at other markets.
Each week, literally hundreds come to the Market for fresh produce, free-range eggs, and seafood, plus artisan-made foods, gifts, clothes, and accessories.
We're always looking for other special vendors; if you are, or know someone who would be a great fit for our vendor family, contact our Admin, at admin@liferealized.org. Thanks!

Paint Your Pet (Portrait) |
Day/Time is TBD and will be included on our Event Calendar shortly. Keep an eye out for this one!
Create a one-of-a-kind mixed media portrait of your pet. Starting with a black and white print on watercolor paper, you will use acrylic paints, stencils and paint pens to bring the portrait to life. Finished portraits are on 8.5"x11" watercolor paper. You'll email the instructor a clear photo of your pet or favorite animal three (3) days prior to class. (See a sample "Before" photo and "After" painting in this image.) This class is an attendee favorite!
