Artists “paint around” for a cause By Linda Wiggins
Great artists are known for having strong, larger-than-life personalities, said one Viera artist, but when they all get together for a good cause, it’s time to check the egos at the door. Lolly Walton is one of five watercolor artists who will perform an “artists paint-around” Friday morning, Nov. 8 at the Backstage Pass Boomer Bash & Senior Expo. Their combined, co-opted works created on the spot against the clock will be auctioned off that afternoon to benefit the Brevard Alzheimer’s Foundation. “If you’re not careful, you can start off as friends and end as enemies. Wait, come to think of it, wouldn’t that make a good show?” Walton said, followed by her trademark contagious laugh. “Seriously, it’s all for a very important cause, raising money for elder-care services during November’s National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. That makes it deeply rewarding, and the camaraderie with other very experienced artists is super enjoyable.” The event starts with all artists seated, each pulling out paper on which they have already composed, or drawn, a basic outline of what will become the finished work. All works must incorporate a purple balloon for Alzheimer’s awareness.
