DALLAS — Several members of the Friends of the Back Mountain Memorial Library recently enhanced their artistic talent by attending a Paint and Sip fundraising event at Bountiful Gifts, LLC in Dallas. Their paintings will be showcased on the library’s Art Wall during the month of February.

This fun evening included all painting supplies and instructions provided by art instructor and owner Rita Busch. Artists were invited to bring their own snacks and beverages to enjoy during their art lesson. Although the artwork is of the same scene, it’s interesting to note the subtle differences that make each painting unique.
