A big “thank you!” to LDC member Bob Redcay who taught a Painting on Leaves Make & Take during our January chapter meeting. LDC members painted 1-2 leaves and then mounted on a mat board. Bob began painting on preserved leaves with acrylic paints approximately 20 years ago after reading an article in “Birds and Blooms” magazine about an artist who used leaves as canvases. Thank you, Bob!
