Picture this...dozens of your favorite artists creating miniature 8" x 8" works each for sale at the bargain price of $40. The gallery has been getting in great pieces for this show that opens on August 5th. Possibly up to 600 pieces will be available at galleries and stores around town. A bit of a scavenger hunt to find what treasure you want to take home. Artists get a percentage of the proceeds, the rest goes to charities, with each venue featuring a different non-profit to help. This sampler above? Picture that multiplied about 40 more times, and you'll start to get an idea of the variety, talent, and creativity in this incredible and fun show.

Artist Statement</div>
<div style="font: 18px Optima;">
2013</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
As a child growing up in a suburb of San Francisco, I hated school. When</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
released from that prison I would take refuge in the twenty or so acres of</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
undeveloped land across the street from my house. There I would meet up</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
with my friends; the stray dogs of our neighborhood. We would run and play</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
and I would pretend they were great beasts, real or imagined. Ever since</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
those days dogs, birds and the wind in the trees have been my inspiration.</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
I enjoy creating possible realities; morphing species and the rules of nature.</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
Cooperation between species is a reoccurring theme; no creature is forced to</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
work with humans.The landscapes of my mind are a continual presence,</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
Beasts often pop in and out while I preform the mundane tasks of daily life.</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
Often I feel these creatures, I become them, imagine how they move or</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
communicate.............. no wonder I often can’t find my keys. Then I go to my</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
studio and bring them into this world, hours of scribbling on paper,</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
crumpling it up and throwing it on the floor (my dog often grabs these and</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
chews them up) before I finally get it right.</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
I enjoy adding fine detail to my subjects. I like to create paintings that draw</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
the viewer in and take them away on a reality vacation. So pack your mental</div>
<div style="font: 14px Optima;">
suitcase and enjoy a little visit to my world.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Whoa, two artsy emails so close together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may be asking yourself if I was able to paint this one in the last two days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nope, nothing so remarkable as that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I started <b><i>Climate Change</i></b> while I was waiting for successive layers of glaze to dry on the last painting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The model for this one is, Rebecca, my yoga instructor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve had the idea of combining my abstract pieces with portraits for a long time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did do one last year entitled, <b><i>The Perfect Windsor</i></b>, and it was a mixing of the two different styles, my version of abstracts and realism, but it was much lighter, nothing as far out as this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this I really, really, like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In Photoshop I pasted the photograph I took of Rebecca in front of a photograph of one of my abstracts just to see how it might look and I thought it looked so great that I immediately started preparing the MDF panel so I could get to creating the abstract background.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I played around with intensifying the color in Photoshop just to see how that background might look if it were even more red or more yellow or more blue and as soon as I saw how the increase of the warm tones looked I thought, wow, this looks like she’s walking through a solar storm … and there was the title<b><i>, Climate Change</i></b>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I used that Photoshop image as my “sketch”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I primed the panel in black like I usually do, then sketched in Rebecca with chalk pencil and painted in the first layer of her skin tones and the umbrella.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I started painting in the abstract parts with a brush, but I did not like the way that was turning out at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was too manipulated looking, too predictable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The abstracts are always done by my dripping paint onto the surface of the “canvas” or throwing paint or hitting puddles of poured paint with the “drip stick” to create spontaneous splashes and dribbles and configurations that are in contrast to my usual highly controlled painting style, so here I was painting with a brush the areas that were supposed to look spontaneous and it just looked false to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to mask off Rebecca and her umbrella so I could commence to drip and toss paint onto the panel to achieve the look I wanted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While that paint was still wet I lifted the mask off and let the painting lie flat for a couple of days until the thick acrylic paint was dry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Once it was dry enough to stand back up on the easel I added another layer of skin tones to her face and hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next I did the scarf and by the time I finished the scarf the skin was dry enough to add another layer of glazes to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then came the coat, then more skin glazes and then with a small brush I brought all the abstract splotches of acrylic in the background right up to the edge of the coat and umbrella, which are oil paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the first layer of hair color and more skin glaze touch ups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I mixed up a thin glaze of red acrylic to paint over the entire background to give it a uniform “hot” feeling instead of it looking so much like the splattering of different colors that it was. The next day the final hair colors were added as well as the final skin tone touch ups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The day after that I added a slight glaze of orange to the inside of the umbrella and one more final, final skin tone glaze.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And there it was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finished.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I do, really, really like this one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is also my final entry for the show of my paintings at Peterson’s Gallery this month, April.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a fitting final piece, seeing as the show is mostly composed of abstracts and portraits and here I combined the two into one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This coming Friday is First Friday and the opening of that show of my paintings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Come on in and say, hi, 1925 Main Street, Peterson’s Gallery, I’d love to see you.</span></div>

We had a good crowd for First Friday. Wonderful paintings by Sally Moser and of course the deeeelicious appetizer bar prepared by the ever creative Andrea Stone and her staff. People enjoyed visiting all the great showings at the other galleries in downtown Baker City. Fun evening, great art. There is a lot of talent in this town.

It looks like the numbers of visitors to the gallery are increasing and with that so are sales. Perhaps as the blue skies return we're all a little more willing to venture out of our cozy wintertime shelters, whatever the reason it's nice to see folks out and about downtown once again. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Here is the latest painting to come off my easel. It is part of a series of portraits I’m putting together for my show at Peterson’s Gallery (1925 Main Street, Baker City, OR) in April.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The name of the woman in the painting is Judy Price, a very nice lady I met a couple of years ago.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Even when I first met Judy I thought there was something a bit special about her, something I found remarkable and something I wanted to try to paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I still can’t quite put a name on that something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As with all of us, this quality that I find noteworthy is no doubt an entire community of attributes all come together in one person which does make it seem like one could put a single name on that complete package, like saying she’s capable or she’s nice or she’s tough and with that one word you could so easily sum up all those ephemeral qualities that we each possess.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it’s not so easy as that is it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But for some reason I became aware of the difficulty involved as my mind sifted through all the adjectives I usually fall back on to make sense of my surroundings or to unconsciously explain or quickly sum up individuals in one fell swoop … and that which I was struggling to put into words I knew I could paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You, know, the old “picture being worth a thousand words” idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I eventually got around to asking her if she’d consider posing for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it was during a chance meeting in Albertson’s that I actually found myself telling her I would like to paint her portrait.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I still have no name for that quality in Judy that I find so remarkable and felt the desire to paint, but whatever it is I feel comfortable saying that I did capture some of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I wanted to paint her as being comfortable, even secure, regardless of what her surroundings were up to, so I painted her with an implement in hand, a shovel or pitchfork handle as if she’d been out working in the barn but just now took a moment out to look across the valley, perhaps she heard something, the screech of a hawk soaring overhead or maybe she’s thinking about the fence she’ll have to mend later today or even the grandkids coming this weekend … while still another winter storm rages in the mountains that make up the background.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe she’s thinking how it’s time for yet another winter, how another change of season is at hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b><i>Things Change</i></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And through it all, season after season, the woman in this painting is prepared to weather that change, to not only weather it but to come out the other side, still there, still strong, still at peace with what is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Or maybe she’s just wondering if her husband has lunch made yet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Judy and her husband Tom came into the gallery last week just as I was putting the finishing touches in on her face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They liked the painting ... which pleased me beyond measure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">As I’ve mentioned perhaps too many times before, the paintings I create have to satisfy me first, they are all about me, my growth, my becoming vulnerable to my surroundings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They reflect my ability to become aware, to be able to take down the walls of protection I have built around myself so that the beauty or the sorrow or the wonder or the sheer joy of this world can flow into me without restriction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to be able to go beyond merely looking at what is around me, I have to be able to really “see” what I am looking at in order to portray it which means I have to be as clear of energetic bottlenecks as is possible for me at the moment, only then am I, to my satisfaction, able to absorb what I am “seeing”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only then can I get beyond what my mind says a thing looks like and allow myself to be in the place of really seeing that thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only then am I capable of simply being in the moment with whatever that thing is, whether it be a person or an orange or even something more abstract, like a thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That state of being is actually a kind of non-structured mediation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And THAT is what being an artist is all about <i>for me</i> … the ability to bring myself to a place of peace by simply being completely in the moment with what I am looking at, studying, inspired by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s that state of finding that place of peace that is primary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The creating of the artwork, the actual “doing” is the vehicle by which I get to experience this, and it is secondary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The artwork that results from this process is simply the end product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once I am finished with the creating of it, it takes on a life of its own and is appreciated or is dismissed by critics and the viewing public and all too often brings about the awakening of my ego.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as I recognize what is going on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I have plenty of friends and family to keep me humble in those moments when I start to slip into that abyss of thinking how good I am, or am not. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Anyway, when Tom and Judy were in the gallery appreciating the painting and so by association the one who created this fabulous work of art, that would be me, I was also able to totally and absolutely enjoy that moment of appreciation and the stroking of my ego.</span></div>

This is when artists clean out studio space, and bring in seconds, slightly damaged work, surplus art supplies, or anything in the studio they're tired of looking at, and set it on tables in the front of the gallery. It's all stuff that's too nice to throw away, and priced to sell. You can pick up some nice work, and help our artists get space cleared out and a bit of pocket money to buy new supplies and start some new works.

Happy New Year! We made it through the mayan apocalypse, a few snowstorms, and the fiscal cliff and are looking forward to a great 2013, and our first First Friday of the new year. Winter may mean quiet, cold, and stillness, but many of our gallery artists seem to be finding more creativity and are bringing in some beautiful new paintings, ceramics, sculptures, and glass pieces.<br />
<br />
First Friday, January 4th, 6:00 pm to 8:30ish. Live music by Zack Freiwald. Finger foods, and lots of friends and art lovers. Several new works by gallery artists. See you there!<br />
<br />

(although it was actually kind of warm for what we're usually used to!) For the rest of December, it's going to be a calm, laid-back atmosphere at the gallery. We want everyone to feel welcome to relax and enjoy looking at art. <br />
<br />
First Friday is on December 7th. The gallery has a variety of artists showing, and a few more gift type items for holiday shopping. Singer Nancy Ames will be performing, and you can sit and enjoy with some great finger foods, or stroll leisurely to check out the art. First Friday gallery shows will be nearby on Main Street including Petersons, Dancing Elephant, Atelier Anders, Mad Habit, and around the corner at Crossroads there is a special show by the Threadbenders fiber artists. The Outta the Box Bazaar with about two dozen fine art and craft vendors will be happening just two doors down at the VAOI Center on Friday night and Saturday. It's a great time to enjoy art and meet artists. Here's wishing you a happy, un-hectic December!<br />
