No paint brushes were harmed during the four hour Battle of the Brushes Saturday.
But there may be a few specks of paint around the Wetumpka Civic Center after nearly 50 artists took a white canvas to a finished painting in just four hours. At the end of the day, everyone was a winner — artists, family, friends and spectators.
