Mark Kelvin Horton and Elizabeth Pollie Participate in Crooked Tree Arts Center
Paint Out
On July 31st, Mark Horton and Elizabeth Pollie spent the day painting outdoors near Harbor Springs, Michigan as participants in the Crooked Tree Arts Center Paint Out. Elizabeth, who resides in Harbor Springs, serves on the Center's Board of Directors and regularly participates in this annual fundraiser benefiting the Crooked Tree Arts Center and its educational programs. The organization, located in Petoskey, MI, was founded in 1971 and serves as a center for arts endeavors in the region.
As the sun moved across the sky, artists captured a day in the life of northern Michigan. The works created during the paint out were on view and for sale that evening during a reception at the Arts Center.
 This was Mark's first visit to the area. "It was great painting with Elizabeth and experiencing the stunning scenery of northern Michigan. I had a lot of inspiration for my pieces", says Mark.
The mission of the Crooked Tree Arts Center is to create, stimulate and perpetuate the arts in northern Michigan. For more information please click here. Available work by Mark and Elizabeth can be viewed at hortonhayes.com.
