boats, Maine farms with blueberry farming and belted galloways; Maine birds such as puffins, eagles, ospreys, chickadees; 
Maine farms with blueberry farming and belted galloways;  
and, a Maine country fair. Each week is a different theme.

8/15 "Let's draw Maine farming scenes!" 
8/22 "Let's draw Maine birds!" 
8/29 "Let's draw a Maine country fair" 

Knoth believes that everyone can draw if they keep their minds and eyes 
open, and that drawing by 'following along' allows one to discover new 
ways of interpreting subjects. She expects participants to be able to 
work independently for the most part. Knoth, known for her watercolors 
of Maine scenes and animal drawings, also gives art workshops for 
adults at the library. Her work may be seen at www.catinkacards.com
