Helen Leverone’s acrylic paintings were featured as number 6 on the first annual Westover Studio Tour Oct. 29 and 30 where artists open their workspaces to the public for a weekend. Leverone said she thought at one time she would be an artist, “but that was 40 years ago and my kids had to go to college so I had to go to work.” But she has exhibited at various art shows over the years; this year Leverone exhibited “Rooster” and “Girl with the Red Hair” at the Arlington County Fair where they both won a second place. She said the rooster was running free in Costa Rica. Leverone started with the background of dirt and rocks and then painted the head and feet of the rooster last. “I don’t know rooster anatomy. I had a lot of trouble with the feet.” The Girl with Red Hair was painted from a photo she took when she was in the Netherlands a year ago. “Her red hair just struck me.”
