The City of Selma's red caboose was used as a backdrop for art at the Old Depot Museum's recent May at the Museum show and sale. You might recognize the rooster painting. The artist, Carol Henry, painted it during an acrylic painting workshop at the Performing Arts Centre. The caboose is part of the railroad exhibit behind the museum's main building.
Vicky Stoudenmire demonstrated her artistic techniques at the May at the Museum arts and crafts sale recently.
Artists are so much fun to watch! You can see how they look at their canvass and add shadows and hues to make a masterpiece.
Those who visited May at the Museum on Saturday got to walk across Oriental carpets that were for sale. I think they look rather royal.
The arts and crafts fundraiser benefited the Old Depot Museum, which features exhibits of Selma, Dallas County and the Black Belt. Displays were stationed across the rear grounds where museum exhibits include railroad cars, a law enforcement building, firefighter museum, cotton scales, buggies and agricultural implements.
