Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, July 25th, plein air painters will meet at Riverton Boat Ramp at 12:00 to paint, then go to Judah Park after that.

I will be working so won't be there...

Riverton Boat Ramp is just west of Riverton, on Hwy 42S between Bandon and Coquille.

Judah Park: Go approx.3.5 miles east of Bandon on HWY 42S. Look for the green sign that says Judah Park. The park is approx. one mile north off HWY 42S on Parkersburg Road. Go past the old dog kennel with the dog statue by the road. The park is after that on the left, next to two homes, (one on the road with a wooden salmon hanging over the door, and one directly behind it up the hill).

Happy painting,
Ava

*****Looking for a new fun challenge? Check out this sketchbook project...two or three local artists participated in it last year, and enjoyed doing it. Sign up by October 31st.
