Hello Everyone...
This coming Monday, September 6th we will be joining the Port Orford First Mondays Art Group to do figure painting with a live model, Lani.
The cost is $65 to be divided among those attending, so hope you can make it. It's at the Port Orford Library from 12 - 3 p.m. There are usually enough artists so that the cost is around $5 per painter. Let's keep supporting this project. Figure painting is good, basic study exercise for all of our art.
The Monday Plein Air Painters show is up at Bandon Library. The Reception is Thursday, September 9th, 6:30 - 7:30 in the room adjacent to the art. Light refreshments will be served. (Sorry for the conflict with NB/CB Art Walk).
The show will be up through September. Hope you will make time to go see it. There are 24 pieces in the show.
Thanks to everyone who participated.
Ava

A Second Chance
So you didn't get enough of Kimberly Wurster's fabulous art at West Coast Wings? Then you are in luck, Kim is the BAAA Artist of the Month at our own Coos Art Museum. It is true that the space for Artist of the Month is small, but that gives the artist a chance to display their more delicate, intimate work. And while you are there you have another chance to take in the 17th Annual Maritime Show and vote for the People's Choice Award. Sure it's just like high school, the one who bullies their friends into voting wins. And if that doesn't work for you go see the show again and vote for what you believe is the best piece and while you are there take a look at Ms Wurster's work and weep.

Autumn Leaves
It’s September when the leaves start turning and the weather gets crisp, there’s football on TV and the coats have come out of the closet. And with this change of seasons, painters head back into their studios to paint away the dead days of winter and photographers head out to brave the cold winds and capture the fall colors. Wow, that’s a lot of work for the first day of the month.
And all of it is true and necessary, of course if you’ve been reading the Trawler and have made pals with someone from another discipline then there’s no worries, while you work at your craft they will be out creating new art and storing away the sights and sounds so that you can borrow a picture now and then to make your latest paintings glow.
But should all of the artists burrow in for the winter? No, no, and absolutely no, there are even more shows coming up and this is the time to look back through all of your creations and see if any of them fit. You can’t just curl up in a ball and wait for spring.
There’s the CAM Biennial, yes I do know it isn’t a juried show and anyone can hang anything and why would a serious artists want to expose their hard won work to a bunch of amateurs? Because when you can hang anything that’s very likely to be what gets hung. If those in the serious art community don’t play then they certainly can’t complain about what gets put up.
And what about the rewards? Rewards for a non-juried show? Yeppers, the People’s Choice winner will get a solo exhibition. Now if that doesn’t stir your competitive juices what will? I know you have a closet full of stuff that was absolutely brilliant, but some blockheaded jury couldn’t see past their own up-turned noses and so it went from the submission CD straight to the closet. This is the time to get it out, dust it off and get it ready for the deadline.
The deadline is only three weeks away and you know how things get messed up once you put them away, frames rub, canvas and prints wrinkle, and even in a locked, darkened closet, finger prints appear on any glass surface not guarded day and night. Get out the polish and the wipes and make sure that when the time comes you are ready.
Three weeks people, that’s just enough time to fill out the paper work. Yeah, any official body gets its funding by generating paper work. “In addition to seven feature exhibitions and nine artistic development programs, our youth outreach and the gala fund raisers, we generated six million cubic tons of paper work.”
So get cracking and go to CAM’s website and download the paper work so that you can fill it out at home where you actually have a pen that works and a flat surface you can write on and light and your glasses and then when September 20-22 comes along you won’t panic or get left out and you too could be feature in a solo exhibit.
Hurry, next up, we’re talkin’ about fishin’…

WCW Reception
If you weren't in Old Town Bandon this afternoon for the West Coast Wings reception you were nowhere! Sage Gallery was full of happy faces, the jurors talked to everyone, the artists mingled and the room was full of merriment. Even the side walk outside had on its party face.
Inside the gallery sparkled with brilliant art and lively conversation.
Kelle Herrick made everyone feel at home.
There were people everywhere.
Kim Wurster had time for the personal touch.
But when the time for awards came, Anne cleared the decks and called all of the troop in for action.
The spectators didn't know a thing was up...
There was always another wall and every wall had at least one special treasure.
The entrants had a last word with the jury...
The photographers checked their settings one more time...
and then...and then... and then, the hard working jury got something more than a pat on the back and the thanks of a greteful nation.
Surprise not only one juror but two, count'em two got recognized for working their ta...yes, yes, there are ladies present so let's just say they worked really hard.
The winner's looked happy.
Pretty darned happy...
Even the Boss looked happy with the way things worked out...
and even when one of the jurors had to do double duty there was a reward at the end of the rainbow.
