Melody Hunt commented, “Since its inception five years ago, these painting parties have not only left me with a wall full of beautiful paintings, but have developed wonderful friendships such as with local artist Martha Sperling, who has become a fabulous asset to the success of these parties.” Sandy Vallely further added, “All are welcome to attend from novice to advanced artists. It’s a super fun atmosphere regardless of your skill level.”

Each session is $60 a person and takes place from 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm at the charming one-room Solebury schoolhouse.
