Marilan Hovanec Caito, a Pysanky art and instructor for more than 50 years, demonstrated the painting of a Ukrainian egg at the Oakmont Carnegie Library in Oakmont on Saturday.

During the demonstration, she completed one egg, from start to finish, while lecturing on the tools, techniques and history of the art.

The completed egg was to be awarded to an audience member by random raffle.
