Hand Painted Gourds

Foster, RI - May 19th, 2010

This year, Sherri Snyder took on a new "canvas base" for her watercolors. She explored "gourds". After visiting Amish Country in Ohio last year and buying a "bag of gourds", she began painting them and had a blast!

Each gourds is one-of-a-kind, individually hand-painted and then coated with an extra-strength outdoor poly-coat to protect it from the outdoor elements. (May 2010)
