<p>Rochelle Hartman, a teacher from Eureka, settles into the shade of the porch on the north side of the Conrad Mansion as she works on a sketch of the interlacing vines and ivy on Tuesday at Paint the Manion in Kalispell. The event was the brainchild of Museum Director Mike Kofford. Kofford said he got the idea from watching a museum visitor working on a painting for themselves. He asked if they would be interested in coming back for an event that invited area artists to the mansion for a competition. When they said they would, he decided to create Paint the Mansion. Kofford promises to bring the competition back next year if the event is a success. He chose this time of year for the compeittion because the gardens are at their peak.</p>
