Featuring Artist Barbara Dooley
On Display: October & November 2025
Barbara— a Tel Hai resident artist— began her study of watercolor and oil painting in retirement.

Rich colors, high-quality paper and the right amount of water often bring surprises that cannot be planned.

Delores—also a Tel Hai resident artist— has spent decades honing her craft of needlework art.
