Aligned with Nature, Paintings by David Welch and Cynthia WisterThe

The November show in Matrix fine art was made up of brilliantly colorful paintings by artist couple David Welch and Cynthia Wister. The reason why their paintings look so well in the same room together? Cynthia says it is because the two paint next to one another!

Cynthia stands next to one of her favorite paintings in the show.

Students of David came by to see their teacher's work.
