It will be a marvelous evening of great food and wine–not to mention the awesome company. You will revel in listening to French traditional songs performed by Carin Bissiere-Grote and her father, Dale Grote. Plus, during our breaks we will be awarding raffle prizes and telling some of the story of Brookstone, an amazing private school that’s been helping under-served students in Charlotte for over 20 years! It’s a fundraising event and all of the profit will go to Brookstone Schools!

About the artist:
E. W. Harvey (Beth) is an artist with a passion for painting portraits, especially of children, and also the sea–anything with water in it. She has been painting with oils for over 40 years—with the exception of several years in the middle, when she was homeschooling three sons! When the youngest moved out of the house, he set up a large room as a studio and begged his mom to get the paints out again! To warm up and see if she still had any painting ability after all those years, she copied this classic by Impressionist, Alfred Sisley: The Seine at Bougival. The first picture is the original and the second one is her copy.
