LAKEPORT, Calif. – Learning to paint can be a daunting endeavor, but Blanca Doren makes easy work of teaching aspiring artists to dive right in every Friday at the Lakeport Senior Activity Center.  

A growing number of people have discovered that they can eat a great lunch at noon and stay for hours of painting fun afterward.  

Cost for the class is a suggested donation of $10 to cover the cost of the paint and canvas. No one will be turned away over ability to make the donation.

Doren is a talented artist who has given numerous hours to the community in the form of volunteering and through gifts of paintings that have been raffled off as fundraisers for the Meals on Wheels program.  

Currently one of Doren’s works is featured at the Meals on Wheels Thrift Store at 120 N. Main St. in Lakeport.

Tickets can be purchased for a chance to win the painting. Proceeds from ticket sales with go to the meals programs at the Lakeport Senior Activity Center.
