Dorr to offer watercolor classes in Port Clinton

PORT CLINTON - "Through My Eyes," an exhibit and sale of master watercolorist Bobbie Dorr’s paintings will be on display now through June 30 at the Arts Garage, 317 W. Perry St. A reception, open to the public, will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. June 8.

Dorr fell in love with art after being especially drawn to a painting by Robert Laesig. His specialty was sunflowers and cobwebs. As well as sunflowers, Dorr’s specialty is the grace and eye-popping beauty of poppies.

As a watercolor teacher, Dorr has made friends for life. “I love my students. We’re a family. Some of my students have been taking from me for ten years,” shared Dorr. She said she feels the classes are “me time” for her students, where the joy of learning and supporting each other is unmistakable.
