Rehoboth Art League Cottage Tour homeowners receive original artwork
The Rehoboth Art League hosted a patron party June 27 for the 2019 RAL Cottage Tour homeowners, sponsors, patrons and volunteers who make the annual tour a great success.
Featured artist Rosemary Connelly presented attending homeowners with framed original watercolor paintings of their home. She also presented the Rehoboth Art League with an original painting of the historic Peter Marsh Homestead, which is always a highlight of the Cottage Tour.
The catering was donated by Food by Design, and the 180 attendees were an indication of just how popular this tour is.
The self-paced tour, to be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday, July 9 and 10, will include six exceptional private homes in the Rehoboth Beach area as well as the art league’s historic Homestead.

Richard and Lisa Scott are blending modern furnishings and decorations to complement the historical design in the first floor of the Homestead.
