The "Mudslingers" held a tea party at Manley Art Center during the May Artwalk, both indoors and outside. It was a gorgeous spring day and the new treeless garden was in full bloom... actually small trees have already been planted to replace the failing and aging ones that were recently removed.

Tea pots and cups by the Mudslinger Pottery Group were featured in the gallery at Manley Art Center. That's Robert Kosslyn on guitar - way in the back.

A delicious assortment of tea sandwiches was served.

And what is a tea party without scrumptuous finger desserts...
Brian Childers poured red and white beverages at the bar.

Mrs. Shanon's 4th grade students at Kalmiopsis Elementary School were assigned to either copy a painting by a famous master or make a new painting in the master's style. Their work was displayed at Semi Aquatic Gallery during the May Art Walk.

Some of the students at the Art Walk... OK art history buffs, which master artists are represented here? The work was quite good and "in person" the inspiration for the miniatures was readily recognizable.

Last month Spencer Reynolds had just begun this painting during the Art Walk... next month we get to see how it has progressed from here. Or, stop by Semi Aquatic Gallery at 654 Chetco Avenue any time to see how it is going.

Anna Gitchell is showing her multi media work at Ambiance by the Sea. This painting took second place in a Coos Bay competition... which is the highest possible award Anna could receive since she took first place last year and no artist is allowed to win first place for two consecutive years.

Lon Goddard took advantage of the fabulous weather to play outside at Ambiance by the Sea during Art Walk. Ambiance by the Sea is located two blocks west of Chetco Avenue on the corner of Willow and Hemlock Streets.

Dan Gray's wood turning art is featured this month in the Chetco Community Public Library's display cases.

These display cases are challenging to photograph due to excessive reflection and glare... so be sure to stop in and see these wonderful pieces yourself.
