Art supplies, like these canvases, are provided through donations for the Barren to Beauty project in Southern Pines, N.C., July 14, 2017. Barren to Beauty brings together area residents who paint every Friday night to a theme and then donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the prints to area charities. The artists come from military and non-military backgrounds and range from novice to experienced artists. (Photo by Timothy L. Hale/Special to The Pilot)
