The Dragonfly has landed, part 2....by Joyce oroz

The dragonfly has landed! Not only the dragonfly, but all his family—even some old dragon-school chums. Koi fish circle the azure ponds surrounded by rocks and reeds (sounds like a rock band). Newly painted faux flower boxes grace the front entrance. A charming tree provides shade for the reeds below. The old building has suddenly acquired a new architectural feature, a new focus and a new purpose.

Notice all the nice AROMAS HILLS ARTISAN ladies, Linda, Kathy, Sandra, Jovita and me happily working our brushes into nubs. Barb and Sadie helped too. The Dragonfly Gallery will be open all day for Aromas Day, Sunday, August 28, 2011. Don’t miss it!

If you don't live in Aromas, California, you might not know about the Aromas Bridge that has recently been dressed up with 75 colorful fish--all swimming toward town. Each fish is 42 inches long and painted by a volunteer using five vibrant colors of acrylic mural paint. Our volunteer painters were all ages, 10 to 80 years old, with or without painting experience. They carefully designed their fish, and the results are magnificent. Three generations in my family had a good time painting fish. I watched a senior couple paint one fish with their granddaughter.

Now that our river is clean and the steelhead are back--75 colorful fish have joined the fun. This is the ninth mural to be organized and donated by the Aromas Hills Artisans.
