Art on the Veranda was spread across two days at The Duke at Rancho El Dorado.

Forty exhibitors of fine arts from Maricopa and the surrounding area participated in the third annual event, from high school art students to retirees returning to their first love.

Media included oils, watercolor, metals, fabrics, gourds, photography, blown glass, jewelry, pen-and-ink, mosaics and much more.
