GOLDIE THE KOI …with Kathy Keel
Goldie...
Graceful and colorful, the goldfish, particularly Koi, have been used as a symbol of good luck and good fortune. Ancient stories and fairy tales also include stories of goldfish granting wishes or making dreams come true.
Painters will certainly get their wish for a beautiful painting as Kathy leads us in painting this canvas. Welcome Kathy as a first time teacher for DASF. We are lucky to have her share her talents with us!

Painters enjoyed getting 'glue-fingers' with decoupage, scrubbing on paint and using stencils as they created their one of a kind backgrounds. It was messy but fun as everyone interpreted unique dragonflies in their own style and learned about how global warming is affecting dragonfly populations.
Thanks, Madonna for the class, and thanks to DASF for providing a pizza lunch to show how much members and members-to-be are appreciated.
Keep inviting your guests. We know how to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated.

The DEDICATED ARTISTS and Who we Are

The DEDICATED Artists of Southwest Florida Inc (DASF) are local members of a local CLUB with members from Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, Port Charolette, North Port, and Canada, too. And we have many snowbirds who look forward to their winters in Florida because of our excellent monthly programs. Our objective is to promote the art of painting for those who wish to learn to paint in all mediums. It is all about having fun and making friends and supporting our community. We welcome all ages and all levels of abilities from those with no experience to the accomplished artist!
