A new fun concept for an art show, "My Image to Art".  Send one of your own photos to be used as the subject of a painting.


Clymers Mill painting that Jim Lukens donated to Quakertown Alive!

But, it's not quite that easy.  You submit your favorite photo of any image you think would  make a beautiful painting.  It can be a fall landscape, a pet, a spring scene, a stone farmhouse, etc.  Of all the pictures submitted, ten to fifteen will be chosen to be made into a painting.  Jim Lukens, a well known Bucks County artist, will be turning the images into works of art.
After all the paintings are completed, there will be a show exhibiting the art.  Only then will you find out if your image was chosen to be made into a painting.  Everyone attending the opening show will get to vote for their favorite.  The winning image/painting will be given to the person who submitted the image.
All other paintings will be for sale. 

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Quakertown Alive!, supporting the arts in the Upper Bucks County area.
