This week's artwork comes from Michael Burpoe in Saranac Lake. "Indoor Patio ft. Annie in the Water at the Waterhole." Watercolor.

Michael says that he's been working on a painting series about live music. "I find that it brings people from all walks of life and all ages together, allowing us a momentary reprieve from technology and to live in the moment."

Artwork of the Week is supported by Downtown Artist Cellar in Malone. www.downtownartistcellar.com. Interested in having your artwork featured by NCPR? Email [email protected].

Come learn how to paint your favorite flower or plant with me at SQAC! I'll be teaching a step by step process, from sketch to loose wash to details and finally "production".

Art supplies provided. $25 if you preregister, $30 at the door! Limited spots available so dont wait!!

We’ve got a heap of events headed your way. From watercolors to The World (a major arcana tarot card), to create and to enjoy, with instruction and purely by heart — each one of these workshops offers a unique experience (side quest! 😉). Come see for yourself!
