Northwest Art & Air Festival

Local artists will be giving demonstrations at the Northwest Art & Air Festival (click on the Art tab) in Albany from Friday August 22nd thru Sunday, August 24. Artists include painters Billie and Michael Moore and Diane Widler Wenzel and many others. A number of artists will also have booths at the festival. Other highlights of the festival are the launch of hot air balloons and the "night glow."

Sally B. Bailey Exhibit

Hood River artist, Sally Bills Bailey, has an exhibit of her wonderful, colorful paintings at the Gorge White House thru August.

Caradon Exhibit

I saw a very enjoyable new exhibit today, one that is a collaboration between two artists... on individual paintings. Both artists, Carolee Clark and Donna Beverly, work on each painting and the resulting paintings are surprisingly cohesive as a group. Wonderful colors and design come through.
If you are in the Corvallis (Oregon) area, stop in at the Pegasus Gallery to see the exhibit which runs through August. On August 14, there is a reception at which the artists will talk about the collaborative process.
See examples of the paintings at www.caradonart.com.

New Entry for the Corvallis Fall Festival

"Tides"
Painted Collage, 40" x 30"

At the Corvallis Fall Festival - September 26 - 28, 2008

Flower Collage

Another collage made from flower petals, giving the flowers a second life. Lots of great texture and some color. In this one there are orchid, hydrangea, rose, clematis, weigelia and probably a few other types of flower petals.

Opalescence

"Opalescence"

This painting is in the Community Exhibit at the Oregon State University LaSells Stewart Center through the month of July along with works by about 130 local artists.
The painting is titled for the look of opal in some of the passages with colors shining from beneath the surface. Irridescent paint helped give it that effect. (Click on the image to see a larger view)

Happy 4th

A red, white and blue painting for the holiday.
