Hot Tamales at Fritz Creek
a collaboration by members of Kachemak Bay Watercolor Society

"Take a small photo, cut it in sections, and give the sections to different artists to paint in their own style and color palette.  then put it all back together and watch a full sized, diverse painting appear.  Part of the fun is not knowing what to expect.  The result is an exciting blend of individual styles into a collective work.  Procedeeds from this sale will go toward educational projects."
