Only in Paradise…
Welcome to your slice of paradise. Spend the best time of your life at the beach looking for shells and enjoying the warm seas lapping at your feet. Suzanne will share with you techniques that will have you painting like a pro. The background is super easy as it is a decoupaged map of our barrier islands – Sanibel, Captiva, and Pine Island. The bright splash of color draws your eye right to the sign post. Painting with Suzanne is always a treat. She is a talented teacher…

Happy New Year! Happy learning new things…

A ‘NOD’ to our Founder
Started as the “Pelican Painters” five decades ago, DASF recently learned of the passing of our founder JOYCE KOSTELAK in November 2024. She was most talented and is the reason so many painters and those learning to paint through the years have had so much fun. She truly was an “Angel Among Us” which makes the theme of our recent Winter Luncheon so much more meaningful. May she rest in peace as she and her paint brush will make heaven a beautiful place for all who follow her.

December PHOTO Gallery
What an exciting day it was with fabulous guests present to enjoy the fruits of all the hours spent creating art for their enjoyment. Sales were brisk. There were many delighted winners! It was another successful Winter Luncheon spent at the beautiful Legend’s Country Club. The venue was exquisite with red ceiling lights matched to the red “Angels Among Us” theme. Wait till you see what we have planned for next year…
