Local artist Oscar Velasquez is exhibiting several of his paintings at Mennonite Memorial Home, Bluffton, through September.  Most people know Velasquez, a Pandora native, as a painter of large murals on area buildings. 

His works at MMH include landscapes, flowers and scenes familiar to the region.  The exhibit is located on the third floor, near the Chapel. Paintings attached are titled “Lake View” and “Three Peasant Girls.”
