OH FUDGE! Brookings Art Walk Goes Sweet

 Christina Olsen drew a crowd early at A Wild Bird and Backyard General Store.

 Christina demonstrated painting a ceramic bowl - inside and out.

 Art Walk participants enjoyed discussing Christina's art and perusing her ceramics, paintings, and cards.

 A Wild Bird and Backyard General Store is also showing work by Tod Steele and several other area artists.

 Jurassic Country performed classic country music at Manley Art Center. This month's theme at MAC is "Abstracts" - which you can see surrounding Jurassic Country.

 Artist of the Month, Thomas Moody, demonstrated painting acrylics on a black foundation at MAC.

 Moody is an accomplished artist of many talents and styles and you can see a wide variety of his art work at MAC during February.

 The Chetco Photographers Association presented a continuous slide show of members' work at MAC during the February Art Walk. The Association meets at MAC four times a month and new members are welcome.  Meetings are 1st and 3rd Fridays from 10 am to Noon and 2nd and 4th Wednesdays from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

 Suzie and Dennis Wright gave a little historical perspective on framing styles and showed some of the most recent offerings.

 Mary Isakson demonstrated how she incorporates the use of a pen in her acrylic paintings. You can see more of Mary's work at Wrights. Wright's Gallery also includes art by Sammy Hernandez, Warren Dowler, Vi Burton, Steve Tadin, Mike Tompkins, Gary Vickerman, Gwen Childs, Len Burton, Dale Wells, Sara Broderick, Gordon Marsters, Wayne Bricco, and Jane Opiat.

 Spectrum Sounds performed vocals and guitar at Wrights.

 You can see more of Bill Ferry's work at http://www.ferry360.com

 Brian Scott Gallery during the February Art Walk

 Horst Wolf (right) interviewed Gold Beach Artist Tod Steele.

 Tod didn't begin painting until he was 49.

Tod's mentor is his wife, artist J.M. Steele - but his style is his own.

 Jeanne Steele photographed her husband at Brian Scott Gallery - and when asked where he is showing, Tod mentioned only two galleries, but Jeanne provided an impressive list of galleries that show Tod's work.

 Marjie Brennan won this painting by Tod Steele at a raffle at Brian Scott Gallery during the February  Brookings Art Walk.

  Lon Goddard and Aura Wright - guitar and vocals at Art Walk Alley Antiques. Wherever Lon and Aura perform becomes a place that is difficult to leave.

 Let there be FUDGE! The Chetco Library, which is showing a collection of Peter Chasar's acrylics this month, was also the venue for a Fudge Off during the February Brookings Art Walk.

 
Pete Chasar's work covered every wall.

 Charlie Kocher, Publisher of the Curry Coastal Pilot, enjoying the Fudge Off - the event was conceived of during a discussion between Lynn Guild and Charlie Kocher and was hosted by the Pilot. Originally planned for Dewey's Digs, interest and the number of competitors grew until it was clear that Dewey's would not accommodate the crowd. Good call! Even the Library was crowded.


Lynn Guild announced the winners...

 Diane Price received several ribbons for her fudge, including People's Choice. Here Carl Rovainen presents her with the Musician's Choice Award.

Winners of the Fudge Off are:
Musicians’ Choice: Diane Price
Artist’s Choice:

Apparently Lynn's fudge didn't win... but Dori got a ribbon! Fortunately the Pilot didn't allow "weapons" at the competition, but those spoons looked pretty lethel for a while.

 Lynn and Dori Blodgett survived their Fudger's duel and made up.

 And the band played on... Carl Rovainen and The Boondock Band.

2012 Federal Duck Stamp Contest Regulations are now available to Artists

The 2012 contest regulations are available for artists. The Duck Stamp Contest is the only federally recognized art competition in the country. These regulations are published each year and include very important information for any artist entering the contest.

History of the Federal Duck Stamp Contest
The first Federal Duck Stamp, designed by Jay "Ding" Darling in 1934 at President Franklin D. Roosevelt's request, depicts two mallards about to land on a marsh pond. In subsequent years, other noted wildlife artists were asked to submit designs. The first contest in 1949 was open to any U.S. artist who wished to enter. Sixty-five artists submitted 88 design entries that first year. The number of entries rose to 2,099 in 1981. This is the only art competition of its kind sponsored by the U.S. Government.

A panel of noted art, waterfowl, and philatelic authorities is appointed by the Secretary of the Interior to judge each competition. Winners receive no compensation for their work, other than a pane of stamps carrying their design. Winning artists may sell prints of their designs, which are sought after by hunters, conservationists, and art collectors.

The sale of stamps is not restricted to hunters. All citizens can purchase the stamp, which can be used as an annual "season pass" to national wildlife refuges charging entrance fees. Conservationists purchase the stamp because they know that 98 cents of every dollar invested in the stamp permanently conserves wildlife habitat for future generations—a small investment will bring you and your family long-term returns. Philatelists purchase the stamp as a collectible—a $1 stamp purchased in 1934 may bring as much as $750 for a stamp in mint condition to about $250 for a stamp in poor condition today.

In providing the means to acquire habitat, the Duck Stamp Program offers a simple way for all citizens to participate in the conservation of a natural resource we all share: migratory birds.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service mails contest regulations to interested artists each spring. Artists may choose their own medium and designs may be in black-and-white or full color, and must measure 10 inches wide by 7 inches high.

DOWNLOAD THE REGULATIONS - 2012 Duck Stamp Contest Regulations If this is your first time entering the contest, here is some important information to note from the regulations:

Deadlines
Artists may submit their artwork beginning on June 1, 2012. No early entries will be accepted. All artwork must be postmarked no later than midnight August 15, 2012.

Special Note: After the Duck Stamp contest is judged, art is sent Federal Express back to the address that was submitted on the contest entry form. Please do not submit art with a P.O. box address. Please make sure that working phone numbers are submitted as well. Changes in return addresses should be submitted in writing. Please email address changes to Duck Stamp Office, or send a certified letter to the Federal Duck Stamp Office, 4401 N. Fairfax Dr. Arlington, VA 22203.

Find out what art characteristics make good stamp design.......

Eligible Species
Each year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service chooses five species any which of one may be painted. In 2011 the species are: 

• Brant
• Northern Shoveler
• Ruddy Duck
• Canada Goose
• Common Goldeneye

If you have any questions, please contact Laurie Shaffer at the Federal Duck Stamp Office.

Cupid and Psyche opens on Feb 3 at the Chetco Playhouse

Chetco Pelican Players is presenting Cupid and Psyche with a special Valentine's Day performance.

Cupid and Psyche is a romantic comedy adapted from an ancient Greek myth that explores the double edged sword of love and doubt. Cupid, the God of Desire (Scotty Oka)  is bored with life. He is summoned by his mother, Aphrodite  (Mary Anne Trailor), to solve a problem for her. She is in a terrible rage because her followers are deserting her temple and are instead flocking to the human princess Psyche's (Daisy Carr) doorstep. This is causing her to age, which is very, very unacceptable to the Goddess of Love. She devises a plan to marry off Psyche to the most ugly, pestilent creature she can find, her servant Runt (Josiah Wise). She sends Cupid to shoot Psyche with one of his Golden Arrows in hopes that the first person Psyche sees will be Runt. The plan goes awry however, when Cupid falls in love with Psyche upon first glance, and can not bring himself to make the shot. For the first time in Cupid's life, he is faced with the concept of falling instantly in love with someone and does not know how to proceed. In desperation, Cupid consults his uncle, Apollo (Sean Farris), for advice. Apollo however is seeking personal revenge for an act long ago committed and devises a plan that will ultimately destroy the young couple. Aphrodite soon finds out about the plan and tries to put a stop to the heartless game with a wager between the gods. Completing the cast are the King (Dan McGlasson), who must reluctantly give his youngest daughter's hand in marriage, and her two jealous sisters, Maleen (Ariel Farris) and Kris (Mariah Wise) who most certainly do not have their sister's best interests at heart.  Directed by Karen de Lucca and Dan McGlasson,  special effects lighting and set design by Ralph Dickey, Dan McGlasson, and Mike Moran. Greek costuming by Bj Farris. Content is rated PG.

Two Woodworking Artists were recently added to the Brookings Artists Page - Peter Janusch and Luke Thornton

Peter Janusch  Peter’s Lost Coast Naturals are carvings of hand crafted driftwood that are brilliantly lifelike and functional wood art pieces that can be enjoyed and shared inside and outside of any private business or home. Peter has an artful eye and seizes what mother nature makes available. In between carvings he likes to beach comb for driftwood that he will transform into garden gates, baskets, and burl wood mushrooms. 

Luke Thornton  Luke Thornton is a master artisan woodworker with over 40 years of experience.  He has created an exclusive line of commissioned urns and keepsakes designed and created using the beautiful hardwoods of the Pacific Northwest.  These handmade urns are one-of-a-kind with a natural beauty befitting a dignified memorial.
 
The wood that he uses is what sets his work apart from all others.  Myrtle and pacific maple, hardwoods with exquisite color, texture and grain patterns, provide inspiration for him to create beautiful and dignified environments.

After School ART CLASSES at Wrights Begin Monday, January 30

After school art classes will begin Monday, January 30, and continue each consecutive Monday and Wednesday at Wright's Custom Framing's new classroom.  This session, taught by Janeen Vick watercolorist, will be learning different brush techniques, watercolor basics, and how to complete projects and make them ready to frame. 

 

"Each session covers the basics of watercolor, but I like to bring something new to the table each time so the students stay interested and can constantly learn new ideas.  This session should be lots of fun because we are going to "get wild with the paintbrushes" and the paint will be flying!" Vick said.

 

"I always welcome any new beginner students ages 7 on up to adults who wish to learn more about watercolor.  This is a great way to begin with watercolors because we just jump in and there are no mistakes.....just 'happy accidents' that turn into art.  Come join in the fun on any Monday or Wednesday whichever day works best in your schedule."  It is $10 a session and we will run until Spring.  

 

Please see the sign up forms at Manley Art Center or Wright's Custom Framing.  For more information please contact Janeen Vick 541 469-4590.

Laura Wiens is Demo Artist for Crescent Harbor Gallery on January 26 at the Public Library

 Laura Wiens at Chateau Julien

Born and raised in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., I spent my early adulthood on Cape Cod, Mass. Busy raising four kids as a single mom in Spokane, Wash., it wasn't until my last one was a senior in high school in 2006 that I discovered a talent waiting to be expressed.

By then I was living in Colorado Springs and hiking the Rockies, so mountain scenes and aspen forests inspired my early efforts.

I returned to my hometown of Carmel in the summer of 2007, sharing gallery space in a quaint courtyard gazebo. I began painting coastal scenes, Carmel landmarks and California missions. Since moving to Crescent City in December 2007 with my husband, Richard, I've focused on the incredible beauty of the rugged Northern California and Southern Oregon coastlines.

Besides Crescent Harbor Gallery, my work is also displayed in Carmel at Mountainsong Galleries and at Second Street Gallery in Bandon, Ore.
