Hi Everyone,
We continue painting at Coos County parks. Any of you are welcome to join us, even if you are not participating in the "30 Artists / 30 Parks" project. We wanted new places to paint this summer, so now we have them. :)
If you would like to carpool / caravan from Bandon to Bastendorff County Park and Charleston County Park on this coming Monday, June 20th, please meet me at the north end of the parking lot at Ray's Food Place (near Bree's Clothing at 11:15 a.m.
Painting from 12 - 4 p.m. Bring a lunch and beverages. Restrooms are available at Bastendorff.
Directions: From Bandon take Hwy 101 north to West Beaver Hill Road (just past the Trash Disposal Center), W. Beaver Hill toward Charleston. Follow the signs toward Shore Acres/Sunset Beach onto Cape Arago Hwy. Before you get to Sunset Beach turnout, you will see a sign directing you to turn right to Bastendorff Beach County Park. Follow the signs up to the County Park.
We will move to Charleston Park later in the afternoon. It is located at the West end of the drawbridge in Charleston, next to the visitor's center and the pottery shop.
Don't forget to allow time for road construction on the roadways. :)
Please let me know if you plan to meet to share a ride or caravan, so I don't leave anyone behind. 541-347-4643 or 297-6118.
Thanks.
Ava
p.s. If painters can please join us Friday, June 24th from 5 - 7:00 p.m. to paint out in Old Town. The merchants will be staying open late until 7 p.m. to welcome golfers, families, and the general public to explore Old Town. It is an opportunity for artists to have a couple of paintings for sale by your easel, and to talk with visitors. If you are shy about painting in front of people, just bring your wares and have fun. Paintings or cards of our beautiful surroundings, and golf courses would be appropriate, and others too.

"Art As Improvisation"
This is a workshop devoted to discovery and to breaking all the rules. We will delve deeply into improvisation and experimentation, learning how some of the best art comes from getting our minds out of the way. Working with basic materials, such as ink and and string, mud and cardboard, we'll gradually build a visual vocabulary by following a set of game-like instructions. We will experiment with drawing, word play, chance operations and outsider techniques, surprising ourselves with the results. On the second day, our projects will be more directed, leading to books, drawings and small sculptures. The process will end with a class exhibition and a discussion about the qualities that contribute to successful art. For all levels of experience. Novice artists will learn many useful methods, and experienced artists will learn new ways to enter their art making.
