Labor Day, September 2, we had 12 artists out in St. Charles, painting the beautiful weather! This morning, for the Sunrise paint, art patrons, Mr. and Mrs. Bernhardt, chose a painting to purchase as the first place for the paint off. The winner this morning was Judy Brown, with her lovely watercolor! She took home a $200 check, donated by the Bernhardts.
Also on Labor Day, we hosted an afternoon paint from noon till 4, with the theme, "Afternoon on Main Street". The winner, chosen by Mr. Leistner, local art teacher, was Marty Coulter!

In the evening, 5 artists worked to paint the sunset in just 3 hours! The winner of the sunset paint was Marty Coulter!
