Artwork by local artist Al Dreyer is on display in the foyer of the Mason County M. Beven Eckert Memorial Library. As noted in the display, “Al is a charter member of the Fine Arts Association of the Hill Country. He began painting in 2002 when he enrolled in a New Braunfels community endorsed evening watercolor course. He considers watercolor as his primary medium although he has also utilized oil and pastel mediums. He and his wife, Jutta, have resided in Mason since 2005.” If you’re a regular visitor to the library or making a special stop to see the artwork, I’m sure you’ll enjoy these beautiful paintings.
