8.14.18 Jim Carson – Magnolia Park in Montford

Summer is drawing to a close and the days are getting milder. Jim Carson presented a lively demo to a full house at Magnolia Park in the Montford district near downtown Asheville. There were a couple of glitches, including a truck and trailer parking in front of Jim’s subject! But all in all much to learn from this talented painter!
