Hi Everyone,
This coming Monday, August 8th, plein air painters will be meeting at the County Boat Ramp in Lakeside at Noon. After painting there, on the way home we will go to Saunders Lake (Jack Ripper County Park), then a quick stop at Riley Ranch for photos.
Bring your lunch and beverages if you like.
There are bathrooms at this boat ramp.
If you would like to carpool/caravan from Bandon, please meet me at the north end of Ray's parking lot (by Bree's). We will leave there at 11 a.m. If you plan to carpool/caravan please let me know so we don't leave you.
My phone is 541-347-4643 or cell is 541-297-6118.

p.s. Umpqua Valley Arts Assn. has posted pictures of the winning paintings from the First Annual Plein Air Painting Competition held in July, along with some pictures and other items at the following link: http://uvarts.com/uvaa-current-events/umpqua-plein-air/
I recommend all those interested in plein air painting to attend the event next year. It was fun, and great to see all those paintings produced in one day, hanging altogether.

Celebrate Arts! will celebrate FEC’s 15th year in 2011 by having all art work submitted to the competition in digital form. For complete show information and instructions for submitting your art, click here: http://www.eventcenter.org/celebrate-arts/
To help artists prepare for the digital submission process, workshops will be held at FEC on September 11 and 12. Workshop registration runs through August 26. Space is limited so please register early. Click here to download the online registration form. Registration forms are also available at the Florence Events Center, Digital Dunes Photography, and the Siuslaw Library. Cost is $25.
