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."

Senior citizens with varying levels of artistic experience are discovering or rediscovering the joy of creating watercolor paintings. A free class is taught by volunteer Nancy Ryan, Mondays, at 1 p.m., in the Washougal Community Center, 1681 “C” St.

Ryan describes herself as a self-taught artist. She studied drawing and earned a bachelor’s degree at Syracuse University. Ryan has also taken many workshops and classes in the San Francisco Bay area and has received awards.
