Art Walk June 2014….Charcoal, Pastels, and a blind Raccoon!

Art Walk June 2014….Charcoal, Pastels, and a blind Raccoon!

We decided to start the Art Walk evening at the Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center for their juried art event. A variety of pieces was on display in every medium imaginable from painting, paper, and found objects.
Artist and CEO of Swan Studios Inc. and David Baker stand in front of a mixed media on velvet piece by David Meo titled Pompeian Portal.
Patrons chat, relax, and discuss the art selection

At the popular Franklin Shops : http://www.thefranklinshops.com/ artists Michael and Lacey Vanyas sketched live in pastels creating whimsical over sized pieces.

But my favorite part of the evening was meeting Trouper ! Trouper is a blind raccoon. He was rescued after a harrowing event and although he is blind and can’t smell, he lives an incredible life. His caregiver, Miss Dot, dedicates her day to his care and together they teach respect and protection of wildlife. His story was chronicled by Kyle L. Miller in “ The True Adventures of a Blind Raccoon: The Beginning”. You can learn more about Trouper and his services at : www.TrouperRaccoon.com  or join him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/trouper.lee
