Preserve the Beauty
Daylilies are beautiful flowers that last only one day

To make up for this, there are many flower buds on each flowering stalk and many stalks in each clump of plants. Daylilies will therefore flower for several weeks not just one day.

Painting the beautiful yellow daylilies on this tray will let you enjoy them year round. Janet teaches in her home state of New York and most recently was teaching at NET (New England Traditions – Painting Convention). She has been a regular at DASF over the years with many beautiful projects. Janet is a travel teacher but you will have a great class with Janet right here in Florida.

April PHOTO Gallery
Another wonderful meeting with so many members attending. And two dozen painted eggs (wood) were exchanged. It was a day of fun and learning. The treats were plentiful. The pizza lunch was delicious. And scholarship applications were due so soon as April 15th was just around the corner. Janet did a wonderful job of teaching her project even basecoating 45 trays for our handiwork! Thank you Janet… That was a lot of work getting everything ready for painting.
