(Brad Davis/The Register-Herald) Mt. Hope residents Ramona Brown, near, and Dolly Lilly spend a Sunday painting what will eventually be a scene of hot air balloons in an afternoon sky using acrylics on canvas during a studio painting session at 110 Marshall in Beckley. Painting sessions are often themed in a variety of ways designed to help painters build skills in painting certain types of objects or textures, with yesterday's being "Up, Up an Away" in reference to the balloons. Similar upcoming painting events will be "Peaceful River" on Monday, March 27 at 6:00 p.m. and "Angel Wings" Friday, April 7 at 6 p.m. Keep an eye on their facebook page or give them a call at 304-634-8367.
