Bonnie Sprung organized the 8th Annual Art of Bowling fundraiser held at the Oviedo Bowling Center, (376 E Broadway St, Oviedo, FL.) Bonnie had been at the Woman’s Caucus of Art, and she returned back to Central Florida to be at the Art of Bowling Fundraiser. When I entered the Bowling Center, she explained to me that lanes 1 through 8 were for the fundraiser. The event raised money for Seminole Cultural Arts Council (SCAC).
When I started the sketch all the house lights were on, so everything was bright and easy to see. However once the Art of Bowling competition got underway, the lanes were illuminated a deep blue and last lights danced on the wall. That lighting was difficult to catch in watercolor. I kind of wished I had brought along my iPad to sketch and paint.
I was seated behind a family using lane 9. A little boy was crying at the table in front of me. His brother came over and brought him into the fold and coaching him to get the ball all the way to the pins. Everyone in the family played, each at their own level.
Soon all 8 lanes were bustling with activity as every team, rolled for the arts. Every strike helped with the SCAC mission to “color your life, and support the arts!”
I had two large soda’s while doing the sketch, so I was buzzing with excitement as I threw colors at the page.
