Hello Everyone,
This Monday, August 27th, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., we will be painting at the Myrtle Tree Motel in Myrtle Point.  As you are going through Myrtle Point toward Roseburg, the motel is on the right hand side a couple of short blocks after the second traffic light.  They have trees, a good view, and picnic tables.  Bring your lunch, or buy it in Myrtle Point...come join us and have fun. 
On Monday, September 3rd--NO Paintout due to the Labor Day Holiday.
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

Au Naturel: The Nude in the 21st Century is an international juried competition hosted annually by the Art Center of Clatsop Community College in Astoria, Oregon, with a focus on the time-honored tradition of the nude human figure, an art form that continues to inspire and challenge many artists today as one of the most potentially rewarding subjects to explore. This exhibit represents a wide range of interpretations of the human figure from representational to abstract, and is open to all artists from around the world working in any drawing, painting, and printmaking media in which the handmade mark is employed as the primary means of image-making.
