UPPER JAY — In the current spirit of working with limitations, the Upper Jay Art Center is looking for participants to each paint a self-portrait with a limited palette, one at a time, in the quiet solitude of the center, also known as the Recovery Lounge.

All ages, with little or no painting experience, are encouraged to give it a try. The end goal is a community gallery show this coming winter. Recovery Lounge director Scott Renderer will set you up with everything you need, including a short tutorial on the magic of mixing yellow, red and blue to create any color you want.

Each participant will have the Recovery Lounge all to themselves for an afternoon of self-reflection. Starting Tuesday, Sept. 8, sessions will be available Monday through Saturday at noon. Sign up at upperjayartcenter@gmail.com, and look for a confirmation.
