I am gratified to report that "Raise the Roof" for
the Cape Coral Art League was a great success! It was attended by more than 70
people, and we all had a ball painting one of my colorful Florida fish. And
special thanks to Vino’s Picasso owner Mercedes Price for all her hard work and
boundless energy.
Vino’s Picassso owner Mercedes Price is my exclusive
instructor in the USA and tonight, she walked the Raise the Roof participants
through the easy-peasy process of creating their very own Lovegrove-inspired
painting. She’s great and proves time in and time out that you absolutely don’t
need any prior experience to make a painting of your own that you and your
family will cherish forever. Of course, I was there to offer insights, advice and encouragement to participants as Mercedes worked her magic.
The Cape Coral Art League is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and all proceeds
we raised tonight are being applied to the new roof the CCAL needs for its building at 516 Cultural Park
Blvd, Cape Coral, FL. Chartered in 1965, the Cape Coral Art League promotes the
advancement of art in Cape Coral and nearby areas. The current studio
location was built and opened in the fall of 1984. A beautiful gallery addition
was opened in April 1991. With the help of a state grant a second art room
studio was built in 2002 providing more space for art classes, workshops and
many more art events. 
If you missed the event, you can still make tax-deductible
donations to the Cape Coral Art League, and if you want to join in on the fun
and create your very own Lovegrove-inspired painting, there’s still time to get
in on a Vino’s Picasso class. They paint here in my gardens three times a week!
