For the past several months, local artists from the Payson Senior Citizen Center have been working hard on their pieces to be sold at its annual art show that will be held at the Peteetneet Academy in the Historical Society Room D until the end of the year.
Each painting is $99, and have been hand painted by the following artists:
Barbara Ward
Betty Benson
Carol Hamlet
Kathryn Carbine
Krystal Meldrum
Mary Wolfley
Sylvia Hansen
In addition to the art show, the Payson Senior Citizen Center would also like to invite other seniors to paint with them on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the center from 8-4 pm.
There, they enjoy visiting and painting each week while putting their home responsibilities aside for a day or two. Everyone brings their own paints and works on paintings that they are wanting to paint such as animals, landscapes, portraits, and abstracts. Most people paint in oil, but some paint in watercolor and acrylic.
There are two teachers that assist artists with critiques, questions, and expertise in all mediums. Krystal Meldrum teaches on Tuesdays and specializes in acrylic and oil. Kathryn Carbine teaches on Thursdays and specializes in gorgeous watercolor
The show runs Oct. 15 – Dec. 31, 2022 at Peteetneet Academy in the Historical Society Room D. The address for Peteetneet is 10 North 600 E. in Payson. Peteetneet is open Monday through Friday 10-4 pm. The artist’s reception will be at Peteetneet Academy Monday, December 5, 2022 from 6-8 pm. The show will also run during the Peteetneet Christmas Boutique Dec. 2 and 3.
All paintings are $99 and one can pay cash or check at Peteetneet Academy. Those with questions are asked to contact Krystal Meldrum with questions at (801) 616-1951 or krystalmeldrum@gmail.com.
