14-year-old Elizabeth Peterson sat nearby, painting the exterior of Crowned Salon on Avenue C.
Ducey brought paintings to sell and also painted, plein air style, the historic steam train engine that takes center stage at Fauley Park, the hub of Saturday's event.
Several local artists set up in the park to paint, or in the case of Kitty Sabelman to create a future vision of the West End in clay. Others, including Kimberly Johnson of Atlas Pottery, brought already made items to sell.
Thirteen-year-old Emily Class of Barnum came to Cloquet especially to paint at the park, her subject matter one of her favorite animated characters.
Emmelyn Peterson played whatever floated into her head on her keyboard between a bed of flowers and the back of the train.
Artist Phyllis Ducey got her wish: to see people "sprawled out," doing their thing, during West End Art Day Saturday. Ducey wrote the grant for the West End Flourish event, and organized a day that included a children's area supplied with paints and projects, from suncatchers to largish rocks to use as a canvas.
