Ava Richey's Art News

Monday Plein Air Paintout Information


Hello Everyone,

This Monday, June 11th, 12 - 3 p.m. we will be painting out in the area near the historic Hughes House. There are trees down by the Sixes River below (north) of the house that we can paint for our summer theme.

The Hughes House is located on Cape Blanco Road (the road to Cape Blanco Lighthouse), off Highway 101 approximately 8 miles north of Port Orford.

The house itself is closed on Mondays, so you won't be able to access it. Restrooms can be found up the road a ways at the Cape Blanco State Park. Bring a sack lunch and beverage if you like.

If you would like to carpool or caravan from Bandon, please meet at 11:15 a.m. at the vacant parking lot next to "Forget Me Knots" quilting store on the old Cheese Factory lot.

Our theme this summer is "Iconic Trees of the South Coast". So if you have a favorite tree or two that you think we would like to set up and paint, please let me know. We will have a show with our trees later on.

My phone number 541-297-6118.


Thanks!

Ava
