May 20th, 2008 Selina Farmer I am back from North Carolina and not to be out done by Michele in Paint! Manassas, I am busy painting the town away, so to speak.

Another day, another Paint-Out
April 23rd, 2008 Michele Frantz MAG members Rob Burkhard, Mary Ellen Semat and myself took advantage of the glorious spring weather to “paint out” at the Manassas train station.
