Judy Founds shows her pencil drawing “Chief Big Tree, Pittsburgh 1950” with the Upper St. Clair League for the Arts display during the Spring Art Show at the Galleria of Mt. Lebanon.

As a little girl, Judy Founds had the opportunity to meet a gentleman who made quite the impression on her.

In tribute, she drew “Chief Big Tree, Pittsburgh 1950,” a pastel and pencil portrait that drew a lot of attention while on display at the Galleria of Mt. Lebanon.

The mall hosted its annual Spring Art Show, which wrapped up April 23 as a showcase for creative folks representing seven local groups, including Founds with the Upper St. Clair League for the Arts.

Also participating were the Bethel Park Art League, McMurray Art League, Pittsburgh Photography Club, Whitehall Arts and South Arts, based at the Schoolhouse Arts and History Center in Bethel Park.

Primary Colors Art Guild, which has its home at the Chartiers Community Center in Carnegie, was another participant. The guild is celebrating its 20th anniversary with opening receptions from 5 to 9 p.m. May 5 and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 6, with new works on display through May 20.

During the Galleria show, a variety of artwork and photography was on display for 10 days, providing visitors with opportunities to purchase framed pieces, greeting cards, matted prints, mosaics, coasters and other items to support their talented neighbors.
