The 2012 Azalea Festival Art Show in Brookings

The Azalea Festival Queen and her Court arrived shortly after the show opened.

The Grand Marshalls of the Azalea Festival Parade, Phyllis and Bob Kerr, also arrived early to choose their favorite piece of art. They deliberated for a while between two pieces.

Azalea Festival Pioneer Citizen, Helen Hanscam, knew immediately when she saw her favorite.

The Kerrs decided on "Roses" by Brenda Stafford... the same painting that Helen Hanscam later chose.

The princesses are still deciding.

The queen considered several pieces.

Queen Louie Deraita chose "River of Dreams" by Wendy D. Malone.

Saturday was a busy day in the Azalea Middle School Gym/Gallery.

Sharon Guinn demonstrated painting with acrylics.

Audi Stanton showed how she paints a watercolor floral.

Karen Berry painted a seascape in oils

Susan Brown painted a still life with acrylics

Margie Buck set up her spinning wheel and spun thread. Her "Spinning Socks" are made using her handmade thread.

Dale Wells showed how he creates wispy clouds in watercolor.

The center of the room was filled with 3-D art.

Wood, clay, stone, pine needles, metal, fabric...

and even paint is used on the 3-D creations.


It was an impressive display and attracted a lot of attention.

This picture deserves a special caption... or maybe it doesn't need one at all.

 
Sunday the crowd included young and old.

Including Bernadine who is 101 years of age.


And a sleeping puppy.

The Chetco Photographers Association kept a slide show going throughout the weekend.

The 3-D display was always busy.

Fiber and clay hung together.

Not exactly a Martian... or is it?

Brenda Stafford demonstrated rock painting.

Brenda also posed with her "Roses" which won both the Grand Marshall's Award and the Pioneer Citizen's Award.

Arline Saul created calligraphy art using visitors' names. Here she is making a piece for Bernadine.

Sunday afternoon at the show.

Thinking...

Maryjane Carlson demonstrated how she makes a clay pot from strips of clay.

Almost finished.

Maryjane wets each strip to make the clay stick together. Afterward it will be fired.

The pot is finished (for now) and Maryjane is on to a new project.


What a great Christmas decoration.

Still enjoying the show.

Sara Broderick demonstrated painting a portrait with pastels.


This is just the beginning... there are many more layers to go before the portrait will be finished.

Jay Mosby with his watercolor "Aboreal Vignette" which took a blue ribbon and Best of Class.


Elmo Williams stopped by late on Sunday afternoon to see the show. He entered two pieces in the show after recently taking watercolor classes from Audi Stanton, saying he had always wanted to paint.

Congratulations Elmo! You've received a ribbon for "Autumn". At age 99 will this become a new career?

Sandy Bonney with "Ella" - a pastel that won a blue ribbon and was also voted "People's Choice"

Azalea Festival Saturday Night Art Gala

Anyone who didn't arrive hungry at the Art Gala wished they had.

Mini Art donated by members of PBAA sold for $5 to $25. The artists agreed that the art could be sold below their regular prices in order to raise money for PBAA and Manley Art Center.

 More Mini-Art - some may still be available during the show on Sunday between 11 am and 4 pm.

Buzz Stewart and Jay Mosby made numerous portraits during the Gala.

Buzz working on a portrait.

Jay Mosby painting Joan Eddy.

Maryjane Carlson, who is known for her clay art, held an origami workshop during the Gala.

Pilot Features Editor, Bill Schlichting created an origami pinwheel that with a little effort would spin.

Tom Broderick on tbe keyboard during the Art Gala.

Artist and Art Instructor, Audi Stanton, taught a mini workshop on creating mini books.

PBAA President, Cilde Grover (top right) stopped by to see the mini-books.

Buzz Stewart painting a lady in a hat.

Jay Mosby is almost finished with another portrait.

The raffle continues through Sunday.

Art and numerous other items are included in the raffle.

The Silent Auction for some items will not be closed until Sunday.

Come to the show and see the numerous auction items.

Door prizes were a lot of fun during the Gala.

Diane Chasar was a Door Prize Winner.

Another happy Door Prize Winner.

And they just kept coming. Diane Price and Curtis Wohlgemuth announced the winners.

Susan Smith and Christi Loring held a workshop for creating Sculpy beads.

Novice Sculpy Bead makers created some beautiful beads to take home and string.

Arline Saul (who won a ribbon for a calligraphy piece) turned Gala goer's names into art.

Pete Chasar and Sara Broderick enjoying the show.

Pilot reporter, Lorna Rodriguez and PBAA Past President Lorelei Hanna, looking at the Mini-Art display.

This year's show includes a variety of wonderful 3-D art as well as oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, and photographs.

Jay Mosby is known for being fast at portraiture, but here is Buzz Stewart doing a double portrait!

The winner of the Best of Show Award was announced at the Gala. E. Doreen Brown received Best of Show, Best of Class and First Place for this small painting.


The Azalea Festival Art Show sponsored by Manley Art Center is held at the Azalea Middle School Gym in Bookings (505 Pacific Avenue). It will continue to be open through Sunday, May 27, from 11 am to 4 pm.

Christina Olsen's Ever Evolving Style

Fish Princess - Christina Olsen

Blue Dress - Christina Olsen

It used to be convenient to describe Christina Olsen's work as whimsical. Didn't we all suspect that under those colorful, decorative and fanciful images there lurked something powerful. Isn't that what pushed the appeal of the images to irresistible. Ever since "Beachwalk Goddesses", the expression of emotion is clearly visible. It had been slowly heading for the surface for quite a while, but the instant I saw "Beachwalk Goddesses" it walked right off the wall to me. "Fish Princess" and "Blue Dress" are Christina's latest revelations of her evolving style.

Help with the Annual Azalea Festival Book Sale at the Library

It's time to get ready for the annual Azalea Festival Book Sale. If you can judge a book by its cover quickly the Friends of the Chetco Library need your help. Starting at 9:00 am in the large meeting room of the Chetco Library on Monday May 21st and Tuesday the 22nd the Friends will be sorting over 40,000 items. The sale starts Thurday the 24th at 10:00 am.

We are also in need of a Flag rigging expert. The Library flag pole has the line on the inside and has a weight that hangs below the flag to keep it in place. Getting the balance just right has proved difficult. The line breaks annually from the weather. We can get a bucket truck to help feed the line down the pole. If you can help contact me or Susana at the Library.
