BY ARA GRIGORIAN

Facing a team that had just claimed its first victory of the season three days earlier, the Pequea Valley Braves traveled to New Holland on Tuesday, February 16.

What transpired on the court at Garden Spot High School was a non-league girls’ basketball match that saw the Braves almost register a phenomenal comeback win.

The Braves outscored the Spartans 18-7 in the fourth quarter. They had already shaved one point off the 28-10 halftime deficit.

Garden Spot held on for a 44-40 win as Pequea fell to 3-8 overall.

The Braves’ Sarah Arment and Spot’s Taylor Soehner shared the game’s top scoring honors with 18 points each. Brooke Liney canned a pair of three-point baskets and finished with eight points.

The Braves were coming off a 69-19 loss to Eastern York on Saturday, February 13.

Mara Weaver’s 18 points led the way for the Golden Knights. She sank four treys and went 4for-4 at the foul line.

Arment and Rebecca Cox each scored four points for Pequea.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL

Devon Colyer, with 22 points, was the top scorer in a 51-41 defeat of Kutztown on Wednesday, February 12 at Kinzers as the PV boys improved to 3-6 on the year.

Luke Peifer and Nevin Stoltzfus each scored nine points with all of Stoltzfus’s coming off his three treys.

Xavier Goodman gave Kutztown 19 points in a losing cause.

On Saturday, February 13, the Braves lost at home to Lancaster Mennonite. The Blazers’ 50-27 win was possible thanks to their 27-0 run in the third quarter.

Stoltzfus led the Braves with seven points while Peifer and Nathan Blank each scored four.

Mennonite’s Camden Hurst poured in 25 points. WRESTLING

The Braves finished seventh in the Lancaster-Lebanon League Wrestling Championships held on Saturday, February 13, at Manheim Township.

The Braves, as a team, finished with 39 points, which was good for seventh place.

Top finishers for Pequea Valley were Nate Miller and Jace Beegle, both of whom finished third. Also, Dustin Huber finished fourth at the 152-pound weight class.

Beegle, wrestling through the 126-pound bracket, majored Ethan Missimer of AnnvilleCleona by a 9-1 final. In his next bout, he faced eventual champ Alizaer Alicea who defeated Beegle 4-0.

In the consolation semis, Beegle pinned Taylor Gehman of Cedar Crest to earn a trip to the third-place match. He worked Mason Casey of Garden Spot for a library book.

Huber’s fourth-place finish involved a pin and a major decision followed by an 8-2 defeat of Cooper Gill.

Huber’s next time on the mat would be to face Kevin Ollavaria of Township. After a quarterfinals loss, he is part of the suicide squad as Woolley also battled back to win 1-0 at the third-place match.

Also earning third was heavyweight Nate Miller. He made his impact immediately with a pin against John Pacheco of McCaskey. Eventual heavyweight champ Zac Shelley would take down Miller in the semis. But the Pequea senior earned an uncontested win in the semis of the consolation brackets and pinned Caleb Mussmon of Hempfield in the third-place match.

Also competing for Pequea, in the tournament that featured only the top eight wrestlers from each weight class, was Luke Brown at 172 pounds.

Brown suffered a close 5-4 defeat to Turk Baum of Cocalico. Following a pin by Northern Lebanon’s Clayton Erb, Brown suffered a 7-3 defeat in consolations.

Painting parties - events in which instructors walk participants through the steps of creating specific images - have become popular within the last decade. The classes are a safe way to be adventurous. For people who want to push themselves further, flow painting, also called fluid art, may be the next step.

As the name suggests, flow painting involves acrylic paint mixed with Floetrol and applied to a canvas by pouring, rather than a brush. In the United States, Floetrol is a product of PPG Architectural Finishes and was created to improve the flow and leveling of water-based paints, primers, stains, and textured coatings. With flow painting, the resulting image is never assured.

“It just does its own thing, and, most of the time, it creates something amazing to look at,” said Sparkle & Spill Fluid Art Creations owner Lacey Werner of East Lampeter Township.

Werner discovered fluid art by attending a class at a painting party studio on St. Patrick’s Day in 2018. She and her boyfriend learned from two guest artists who demonstrated how to mix the paint and discussed various techniques. At home, Werner watched YouTube videos to learn more.

“I really like the fluidity of the technique,” Werner commented. “It isn’t a style of art that requires detail and is required to look like something. I like the uniqueness and that I don’t have to really think about it once I pour the paint onto the canvas. The most challenging parts are getting the paint to be the right consistency, knowing how much paint I’ll need, and deciding what colors to use.”

Pre-mixed paints can be purchased at craft stores, or artists, like Werner, can mix their own. Canvases can always be reused, but their numbers can soar if artists like the finished products. Werner began to experience that latter phenomenon, so she started looking for homes for her art. She also found another way to be creative with the paint itself.

“I had so much dried leftover paint in the bottom of the containers I was using to pour over (canvases) that looked kind of neat on its own, so I decided to start making smaller things like keychains and magnets,” Werner said.

For households looking for a creative outlet during yucky days this winter, fluid art may fit the bill. Adult supervision is required for using heat guns to remove bubbles from paint. Some fluid artists on YouTube and Facebook have also combined spray paint and fire, which should only be performed with adults watching closely and fire extinguishers located nearby.

“Picking the colors, maybe stirring the paint, and moving the paint around on the canvas would be something the kids could do,” Werner stated. “Depending on the age and dexterity of the kids, they could probably handle the paint themselves, but for safety and preventing a mess, an adult would be better suited to handle the paint.”

Werner’s favorite resources for fluid art ideas, coaching, and support include the Facebook groups and pages Acrylic Pouring Addiction, Fluid Art Studios, and Jerry’s Artarama; tutorials by Netherlands artist Rinske Douna; and the book “Get Started in Paint Pouring” by Nicky James Burch. Ultimately, though, people just need to take the plunge.

“Be patient, and don’t necessarily have expectations for what you want your final design to look like,” Werner advised. “Don’t be afraid to experiment with techniques, pouring mediums, paints, and colors. There’s a lot out there to use, and a lot to learn. You just have to find what works best for you.”

Lacey Werner of Lancaster enjoys making art using the flow painting technique.
