Prof. William Mancuso, assistant professor of art at ONU, has several watercolor paintings on display at the American Frame showroom in Maumee.
The show, called “Blanchard Valley Plein Air Painters,” is a group exhibition. The artists began as a volunteer-led program for the Hancock County Parks in 2013. The goal was to provide opportunities for artists to meet and paint in various park locations and to expand awareness and appreciation of plein air painting.
The work in the show display paintings in all media, but predominately oil, watercolor and pastel.

Former Ada resident Mary Howard sent the Icon this photo of yesterday's solar eclipse with the following explanation: I live in Worland, Wyoming, but am originally from Ada. I watched the eclipse at Gooseberry Badlands between Worland and Meeteetse, Wyoming. Buddy (my dog) and I sat up in the parking lot of the Badland's scenic area. The traffic was crazy to try and go anywhere else. The starlings came out and the crickets started chirping as I was sitting there.
