Flower Power
Pati Payne


Friday March 16, 2012 will see Linda Helgason hosting The Renaissance Art Gallery. Linda has been drawing and painting nudes for nearly twenty years. Short, vigorous poses are her favorites.



Pati Payne will be in Saturday March 17, 2012. She is from Ironton Ohio, and is a painter of memories. She likes to paint the people, places and things she wants to remember. Many years ago she started doing a painting of every flower given to her as a gift. This January for her birthday she was given two vases of flowers and a live potted orchid. Her paintings of these flowers will be on display at the Renaissance Art Gallery. You can see these paintings; "Flower Power", "Variety", and Orchids in Bloom" when you visit with Pati as she hosts The Renaissance Art Gallery Saturday March 17, 2012.



“I will be working Saturday March 17 and anybody is welcome to come in and get a free watercolor lesson from me.” ~ Pati Payne.



Pati taught painting classes at Ironton Ohio University Community Education but as she says: “I know a lot more about painting now!”



Sunday March 18, 2012 is a gallery gather day, when all the artists of The Renaissance Art Gallery will be available at the gallery from 1-4 pm.
