April 13, 2012]  ELKHART -- Dragonfly Art Studio is planning special events on April 14 and 21 to coincide with Elkhart's Wildflower Weekends. The studio is on the upper floor of the refurbished 1889 building at 102 Gov. Oglesby St. in the village of Elkhart.

The art studio will have an exhibition of student work on display both weekends, highlighting floral painting. Artist Renee Sisk's beautiful original paintings, and those of her students, adorn the walls of the studio. The studio's second-story windows provide a great view of historic downtown Elkhart.

There is no charge for viewing the exhibition.

On April 14 from noon to 4 p.m., Sisk will also offer a class in painting bluebells with acrylic paint on canvas, and on April 21 from 9 a.m. to noon, there will be a watercolor class on painting bluebells or other native wildflowers. Sisk will lead your family, group or weekend guests in an inspired and enjoyable experience creating paintings that you didn't think you'd ever be able to draw.

The fee for the acrylic class is $35, and for the watercolor class, $25. Class registration is limited. Reservations can be made by calling 217-947-2100. For more information, contact Renee Sisk at dragonfly.art@live.com
