Watercolorist Nancy Tilles Shows the Wellington Art Society her Technique

On Wednesday, October 8 the Wellington Art Society hosted a members meeting at the Wellington Community Center. Everyone enjoyed an evening of refreshments and art. After our artists showing us their new work a brief meeting was held which was followed by an enchanting demonstration by the very talented watercolor artist Nancy Tilles. She demonstrated for us her technique for a portrait. Using a photo from her grandson's first birthday Nancy took us through her routine. It is always so enriching to see art take shape right before your eyes.

As you know, the continued success of the Lighthouse ArtCenter is dependent on our members, donors and our fundraisers. D’Art for Art is one of our major fundraisers, and it is made possible by the generous donations from artists in our community. Tickets guests at the event leave with the ultimate party favor – a beautiful piece of art!

We hope that you will consider donating a piece of art to D’Art for Art this year. Your contributions make this successful event possible!

If you haven’t yet donated yet, we need your help!  Please donate a piece of signed original art, ceramics or photography, as well as hand-crafted furniture, jewelry or fiber art. 

Your artwork will be on exhibit in the museum from November 1 through November 7.The exhibit will be judged and awards will be presented on November 1.

You will be invited to our Artists’ Appreciation and Collectors’ Preview Party on Saturday, November 1, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. It's to thank donating artists (and guest) who will enjoy delicious food and an open bar
