Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, June 6th, 12 - 3 p.m., we will be joining the Port Orford First Monday Painters. Instead of figure painting this time we will meet at Redfish Restaurant at the south end of Port Orford. It overlooks Battle Rock State Park, and is adjacent to the Hawthorne Gallery.

You may wish to come a bit early and join us for lunch in this beautiful location.
We can paint outside if the weather is cooperative, or in the sculpture garden or inside if necessary.


***If you will please RSVP to me by Saturday, so we know how many are coming it would be appreciated, especially if you plan to join us for lunch.
You can still show up if you don't RSVP. :) Looking forward to seeing you there.

---------------
I would like to encourage artists to participate in the "30 Parks by 30 Artists" show.

You don't have to be a Coos County resident to join in. The challenge is to paint 30Coos County Parks (or as many as you possibly can get to) on paper provided by the show producer S.L. Donaldson. No matting or framing required. Costs are underwritten by a grant from the Coos County Cultural Coalition.

You have all summer to paint these parks--June, July and August--so please send in your entry and receive the packet of painting surfaces right away. Map and Entry Information is available at: http://sldonaldsonfineart.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/30parksby30artists.pdf

Also check out the show's facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/pages/30-Parks-by-30-Artists/122970557784258

If you have questions my cell phone is 541-297-6118.
