ART AT THE OATFIELD:
2012 WORKSHOPS
Painting Partners
Painting Partners was founded by Jonita Haynes in 2002 with just a handful of members. The purpose of the organization was to provide a place to paint and share ideas as well as an opportunity for members to improve through critiquing each other’s work. Presently there are usually ten year-long participants and nearly thirty in the winter months. The group meets on Monday, 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. Paintings are exhibited on the walls of the Oatfield Building.
