Floridians love to celebrate the beautiful sunsets. In this special program for "Member Appreciation" presented to us by Suzanne Mikulka, CDA, members and guests will have an opportunity to capture one such beautiful sunset that comes from the more northern latitudes - just like most of us do.


This 11x14 painting is done in acrylics. Suzanne will lead you in painting sky, water, and a striking silhouette technique that will help you produce a painting of which you will be most proud.
Guests are always welcome!
