Washougal Watercolorists show opens Friday
Watercolor wonder
Dawn Feldhaus/Post-Record Jan Wyninger shows her most recent painting to instructor Nancy Ryan and Barbara McHenry, as Dolly Jendro works on her own artwork at the Washougal Community Center. The Washougal Watercolorists will host an opening reception Friday, from 5 to 8 p.m. “The purpose of the show is to share with the community the joy of watercolor and to complete the process of creation,” Ryan said. “Part of creation is having others appreciate and enjoy it.” DawnFeldhaus
