ECCENTRIC ARTISTS - SUNDAY OCT 2ND - EVERYONE WELCOME 3
Three Eccentrics
Odd, Whimsical, Beyond the Norm
David Castleberry
Nan Forsberg-Hammons
Shinan Barclay
Present their unique creativity
September and October, 2011
Evergreen Court, Baycrest Village
451 O’Connell St. North Bend, OR 541 756-7658
Reception Sunday, October 2nd, 1-3 pm. Meet the Artists
David Castleberry has been on a thirty-five year adventure, developing his unique, visual language. Through a relentless exploration into finding what’s important to him, he then created imagery that reflects that meaning. “Art is a way to express my values, hopes, dreams, fears—everything that makes me who I am,” he says. “What makes my work eccentric is that I refuse to be limited by what others have done. Rules in art keep one safe not exciting. It is not what you put into the art but what you fight to keep out. It all comes down to not being held captive by any idea but your own.”
Shinan Barclay began thinking outside of the box while teaching in an Arctic Inuit village. But long before that, she’d begun coloring outside of the lines when she was knee high to a grasshopper. The middle child of seven, born to artist parents who met at the Chicago Art Institute, Shinan dabbles in art, even writing reviews for the San Diego Museum of Modern Art. Recently she discovered that the “Artist Archetype” resides within the sphere of her home. “I don’t call myself a painter, yet,” she says, “I just show up and delight in the surprises that appear on my watercolor paper.”
Nan Forsberg-Hammons’ paintings and collages reflect her world-view. Her shows are an eclectic gathering, sharing with the viewer her sense of awe and appreciation of beauty, light and ideas. “As an artist,” Nan says, “I’m not interested in painting a pretty picture. I want to capture the energy behind what we see with our eyes. A song by Leonard Cohen says ‘Everything’s got a crack in it; that’s how the light gets in.’ I keep trying to paint that light.” Juried into National and International shows, Nan’s work garners numerous awards.
“Art is the accomplice of love.”

Susan Lehman at The Coos Bay Public Library
Susan Lehman’s latest abstract collages evoking “Mountains, Forests and Waterways” reflect the nuances of the shadows, the spaces in between, and the fluidity of the movement found in nature. These complex compositions rely upon the duality of presenting work in pairs; most of the paintings are diptychs. Lehman’s love of texture, subtle tones of color and distinctive style celebrate the energy and beauty found in the surrounding area.
Most of the work presented at the Coos Bay Public Library, some being seen for the first time, are part of an on-going series delving into the destructiveness of both man and nature—holding that power in awe—and the ability of the planet to heal itself. Lehman’s mark making and creative process display a quiet dignity and love of the materials—the culmination of ten years of working in collage.
The Coos Bay Public Library is at 525 Anderson. For information about library hours, call the library at 541-269-1101.
The show will be up until September 29th at 5 pm.

Getting Out
I'm still a few weeks from being released to walk among you. The Croaker thinks my compromised immune system might be an easy target for bugs and beasties. But I am happy to report that the wild blood sugar swings I was having when I was released from the hospital have settled and I'm normal most of the time.
No silly just the blood sugar, I'm still nuts and have no immediate plans to change.
But not being allowed to mix and mingle doesn't mean I am a shut-in. I get to go all of the exotic places, like North Bend Medical Center and the new Walgreen, in North Bend Medical Center. And then there's the mall.
What you've been to the mall! I have. I have walked in through Sears and taken lunch there after my doctor's visits the last coupla weeks which is a good thing because it has allowed me to check out S. L. Donaldson's art and the Thirty Parks exhibit.
Okay, so pressing my nose against the glass isn't the proper way to see the art, but its all I can do right now.
And just for the record, the S. L. Donaldson triptych in the window across from Sears is worth the trip. I knew ole s.L. had a keen eye for color and the right palette for making that eye show up on canvas, but this subtle bit of magic in paint has a dreamy under sea feel and even to my weakened eye is a major accomplishment.
Now since I have just an hour window after the doctor finishes poking and prodding me, could the rest of you load up the mall so I can stay current? I'd appreciate it.

Take the Time to Fuel Up
Life is busy. Really? Tell me something I don't know.
Okay, I'll do that little thing right now, or maybe I'll do one better and give you some choices. Take a look at this item from The Skinny Artist. It will make you think and if nothing else will make you smile. High School was a time of misery for a lot of us and we did seem to know everything about everything. Now that you know better maybe this will remind you of what you missed.

Everyone has a website or a Twitter account or a facebook page. Ever wonder if it was doing you a bit of good? Just having a tool doesn't mean it will work for you. Owning a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a Nikon owner. Do you want to be a wedsite owner or do you want all of the work and sweat and tears (If you haven't shed bitter tears over building a wed site, you haven't known the meaning of the Blues.) you poured into building your site to do something? Take a look at this item from Shutterbug and see if you are doing it right.

Take a look around the bay area, there's a music event on every corner. And why aren't you there? Yes, painters can find as varied and challenging subjects as photographers can and maybe you have that unique vision like Leroy Neiman and can turn your images into the sort of thing that catches the eye of the Big Bunny himself, Hugh Hefner! Not interested in Hef's opinion? Sad, he has a national magazine bought by the young and shamefully wealthy and they unlike their pickup truck loving, jean wearing brothers buy art. I thought that might catch your attention. Have a look at this article and see if it doesn't give you and idea or two about what to do with your spare time.
