Christian Dore  - "Abstract Colorado- Painting for Beginners"  
Saturday, October 15, 2022 -- 11am - 3pm
First Presbyterian Church of Littleton 
1609 W. Littleton Blvd.
Littleton, CO 80120
Spending time with Christian was pure joy! He . . .
  • Has the coolest English accent.
  • Repeatedly told us to "lose control."
  • Taught us how to sketch with abandon.
  • Encouraged us to try draw unique shapes.
  • Gave new meaning to the term reuse, reduce and recycle (He has been using the same paint towel and palette for eons). 

We can only hope Christian will be back to help us explore art, embrace our "happy accidents" and remind us that creativity is limitless.
