The art of nonsense

I

think one of the reasons I have so much fun at the Oregon Coast TODAY is that I have a very healthy appetite for nonsense.

I credit this affinity for balderdash to my father who, when I was young, liked nothing better than to send me to sleep with a good dose of hogwash. Sometimes these tales were of his own invention and sometimes they were the work of other, more celebrated purveyors of poppycock, such as the inimitable Edward Lear. Patrick Alexander Born in England in 1812, Lear was an artist, musician and writer who Editor & Publisher is today best known for his nonsense poems — perhaps most notably “The Owl and the Pussycat.” For the benefit of those who had more serious upbringings, the poem tells the story of an owl and cat who go to sea “in a beautiful pea green boat.” The two declare their love for each other and, after buying a ring from the nose of a passing pig, are married by a turkey that lives on a hill. So deeply is this silliness ingrained in me that, to this day, upon seeing an owl and cat, I immediately start looking for a pea green boat. Such was the case when presented with the promotional images for Ben Soeby’s new show “Live Your Dream,” which opens this Friday in Lincoln City. Soeby’s whimsical work should appeal to anyone with a love of the ludicrous, packed with gun-slinging owls, cats in underpants and schools of fantastic fish. Lear would be proud. ns the tant editor Quinn sca Assis sail horizon for a pea green

Author Steve McQuiddy will appear at the Saturday, Nov. 15, meeting of Writers on the Edge to talk about his book “Here on the Edge: How a Small Group of World War II Conscientious Objectors Took Art and Peace From the Margins to the Mainstream.” The book tells the story of Civilian Public Service Camp #56, located just south of Waldport. There, pacifists and political objectors to World War II spent their daylight hours planting trees, crushing rock, building roads and fighting forest fires — 50 hours a week, for no pay. At night, they put their limited free time to use publishing books, producing plays and making art and music. “They called themselves the Fine Arts Group at Waldport,” McQuiddy said, “and their focus was not so much on the current war, but on what kind of society might be possible when the shooting finally stopped. ‘Here on the edge,’ they wrote, ‘we can only watch ... and bide on the time when what we are, and that for which we have taken this stand, can be tangent again to the world.’” The group included poet William Everson, later known as Brother Antoninus, the “Beat Friar” for his involvement with the 1950s Beat Generation; violinist Broadus Erle, founder of the New Music Quartet; fine arts printer Adrian Wilson, an early recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant; Kermit Sheets, co-founder of San Francisco’s Interplayers theater group; architect Kemper Nomland, Jr.; and internationally renowned sculptor Clayton James. Other notables involved with the Fine Arts Group included artist Morris Graves; future Oregon Poet Laureate William Stafford; fiery antiwar poet Kenneth Patchen; and iconoclastic author Henry Miller. After the war, camp members went on to participate in the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance of the 1950s, which heavily influenced the Beat Generation of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, who in turn inspired Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, leading the way to the radical upheavals epitomized by San Francisco’s Summer of Love. As the Fine Arts Group carved an

unpopular path during the dark days of the 1940s, they were showing the way for the next generation, when a new set of young people, facing a war of their own in Vietnam, would populate the massive peace movements of the 1960s. “Nearly all the great social movements in history can be traced to small groups working in obscurity, sometimes for years,” McQuiddy said. “It can be very useful for people to actually see the evidence of how small actions can make a big difference.” McQuiddy writes and lectures on Pacific Northwest history and culture, particularly the eccentric quarter. He has written for Salon, Mother Jones, Seattle Times and Best Essays Northwest and received awards from the Society of Professional Journalists. He is an honorary director of the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission and currently teaches writing at Lane Community College in Eugene. His presentation will begin at 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, and will be followed by an open mic for local writers. General admission is $6, with students admitted free.

Writing a novel requires the ability to sustain a story over hundreds of pages — but getting a message across in 140 characters or fewer or standing out in a Facebook newsfeed can be just as important for scribes hoping to make an impression in the digital world. On Sunday, Nov. 16, the Willamette Writers Coast Chapter will present a free, interactive workshop on social networking for writers. Workshop leader Orit Ofri will show what an online presence can do for writers, teaching students about blogs and other social networks as well as offering specific ingredients for a successful social platform. Students will learn how to decide which social media networks to use as well as how to maximize the time they spend working on them. Ofri, who describes herself as “an award-winning business writer who also writes middle-grade humor” helps writers, professionals and small businesses get started and grow their online presence by discovering strategies that fit them, their audience and their market. She is the co-chair of the Willamette Writers Salem Chapter and a member of the Advisory Committee of Writers on the River. The workshop will run from 2 to 4 pm, at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, call Theresa Wisner at 541-351-8002 or go to http://willamettewriters.com/coast.

Check out a CD at the Lincoln City library Novelist and playwright C.D. Harper will visit Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library on Monday, Nov. 17, to deliver a presentation on the impact of the end of slavery and the Civil War on ordinary Americans. The talk, entitled “Three Journeys in Search of American Promises” is presented in partnership with the Lincoln City Chapter of The American Association of University Women. Harper has sought to reflect the complexities of U.S. history in a trilogy of novels that began with “Covenant,” continued with “And Face the

Unknown,” and will conclude with an upcoming work, tentatively titled “Not a Slave, Yet a Slave.” Born and raised in East St. Louis, Harper graduated from Lincoln High School, where he would later return as a teacher. During his time teaching at his alma mater, he discovered his passion for theater and found inspiration in his students. Harper’s interest in writing began while he served in the U.S. Coast Guard. He received an undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois, a master’s in Theater and Speech and became one

of the first African Americans to earn a PhD in English from St. Louis University. Now retired from his position as professor of Theatre Arts and Dance at California State University, Los Angeles, Harper moved to the Oregon Coast in 2007 to focus on his work as a novelist. Harper’s talk will begin at 6:30 pm at the library, on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex, 801 SW Hwy. 101.

When Bob and Beni Blessinger assumed ownership of the Harbor Lights Inn in Depoe Bay, they were more than ready to add their personal touch. “We had so much fun turning this place into what we wanted it to be,” Beni said. “We worked here for four years before we bought it, so I had all that time to think about what I would do.” One of the biggest transformations was in the dining area, which was originally just used to serve breakfast to the inn’s guests. “The previous owner only offered a continental breakfast,” Beni said. “Bob definitely wanted to do more than that.” So the couple started offering full breakfasts to their guests. They also began renovating the space, going as far as to knock down a wall to create a dining

Bestselling mystery writer Phillip Margolin will visit the Manzanita Writers’ Series on Saturday, Nov. 15, to read from his latest book “Worthy Brown’s Daughter.” Set in 19th-Century Oregon, the book is inspired by true events and combines a heartbreaking story of slavery and murder with classic Margolin plot twists. Historical fiction is new territory for Margolin, who is well known for his contemporary political and legal thrillers, all 16 of which have been New York Times bestsellers. Writing fulltime since 1996, Margolin has an interesting background to draw on: growing up in New York City; completing a Peace Corps stint in Liberia, West Africa; and putting himself through law school at night while teaching junior high in the South Bronx. He moved to Portland in 1970 for his first job out of law school with a clerkship for the Chief Judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals. He spent 24 years in private practice, specializing in criminal defense and representing about 30 people charged with

learn a little

Get a grounding in geology Cape Perpetua Visitor Center will be the venue for a presentation on earthquakes and tsunamis of the Oregon Coast from Oregon State University Geosciences Professor Dr. Robert Lillie on Saturday, Nov. 15. Entitled “Beauty and the Beast,” the program describes how the same geological forces that threaten our lives with earthquakes and tsunamis also nourish our spirits by creating the magnificent coastline of the Pacific Northwest. Lillie said the presentation

will help people enjoy scenic destinations, appreciate how geology relates to the coast’s natural and cultural history and understand how communities might mitigate the impacts of geological

hazards. This presentation is part of Cape Perpetua’s Winter Series of guest speakers, guided hikes and fun activities scheduled for many Saturdays through the end of March. Saturday’s presentation will begin at 2 pm at the Visitor Center, three miles south of Yachats on Highway 101. A $5 day-use pass is required for access to the center, facilities and trail system.

The purpose of the meetings is to share the results of extensive surveys of both bays — showing where clams are found, their abundance and their preferred habitat. Bay clams include butter, cockle, gaper and native littleneck clams. ODFW biologists will present survey results for Netarts Bay on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the Netarts Fire House, 1235 5th Street Loop, Netarts. The results for Tillamook Bay will be presented on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at the Oregon Department of Forestry Building, 5005 3rd Street, Tillamook. Both presentations will begin at 6:30 pm. The meeting agendas also include the introduction of new clamming maps, a discussion of shellfish management in the bays and an opportunity to question and interact with ODFW shellfish biologists. 46-14

That iPad in your bag might well be able to let you surf the web, keep thousands of photographs at your ďŹ ngertips and stop you from getting lost; but can it create a piece of art to excite the mind and stir the soul? Well, yes actually — and on Saturday, Nov. 22, Wes Cropper will be at Manzanita’s Homan Center to show you how. The Newberg-based artist will lead a oneday class in how to create art with an iPad or Android device, designed for beginner or intermediate artists from middle school age up through adults. Students will need to bring their own iPad or Android device to the class and can expect to learn about various art applications as well as important features such as painting and drawing tools, the paint bucket, positioning, rotating, mirroring, scaling, layering, blend modes, transparency and document management. Cropper, who grew up in rural northwest Oregon has been immersed in the arts since childhood. With an early fascination for every media form available, he pursued drawing and painting skills throughout his academic career.

“ProcĂŠderâ€? by Wes Cropper

He began exploring the prospect of moving images, 3D animation, video production and web design and went on to complete the Master of Fine Arts/New Media program at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

lanning on a trip to the Oregon Coast Aquarium? Pucker up. Lea’s kiss that morning came as a complete — albeit not unwelcome — surprise. I was at the Oregon Coast Aquarium to watch her paint, which she did in fact do quite well. Every time Lea completed a work of art, or some other important task, the trainer rewarded her with a tasty treat of herring or squid. Lea gulped down a lot of fish that morning. Really, a lot. Then came the moment when I was summoned over to Lea for a kiss. I moved in close, and meeting her mouth to mouth, experienced for my first ever sea lion kiss. __________ • __________ n the 14 years I’ve been here, I’ve probably written more about the Oregon Coast Aquarium than any other attraction here. And I’ve been happy to do so. Not only is it a fabulous place to visit, but many times, the aquarium was the one bright spot on a journalism beat that saw far too much dark. They were fun stories and I loved sharing them. But as Jim Burke, director of animal husbandry, reminded me when I sat down with him recently at the Oyster Cloyster, some of those stories were a little nerve You, too can enjoy a fishy smooch at wracking themselves. the aquarium, which is offering seal and Like the time they introduced sea lion kisses every weekend. the five sevengill sharks to the tanks, and I was invited inside This 20-30 minute experience includes to watch.

One at a time, they weighed and measured each shark, than placed it in a canvas sling and raced the 200-pound fish up three flights of stairs to the top of the tanks where the shark was released into the water. “It was a very stressful time,” Burke told me that night as we sat down over seafood and wine, at what is, by the way, my absolute favorite event here on the coast. “Anytime we move anything, it’s extremely serious.

makes the clock tick. You don’t want to take extra steps. When it was over, I felt a lot of relief.” As did I. And I’m happy to report those sharks are thriving to this day. I was also there when they introduced Mojo the sea otter. They don’t come much cuter. But I was wicked sick, and as we stood outside watching and waiting in the rain and wind and cold, I hacked and wheezed and shivered. And all I really wanted was to go back home and crawl in bed. Jim knew how I felt. Getting Mojo here had been no picnic. “Mojo came down from Alaska to Oakland,” Jim said. “A local pilot was to fly him here. But Obama was in the Bay area and the pilot was delayed by the Secret Service. The transport had to be done in a 12-hour window. I had to contact the Secret Service and fax them my 55-page permit that allows us to transport this endangered species. It took two hours of phone calls. Mojo finally flew into Newport at 3:30 in the morning during a horrible storm. He landed in horrible weather and went on exhibit in horrible weather.” As I well recall.

I could go on for pages about my experiences at the aquarium — the time the octopus reached out from its tank and wrapped a tentacle around my wrist, nearly causing me to forget my house training; or the time I had to walk the narrow stretch between the top of the shark tanks to observe feeding time. And then, there was Lea. Of course, you can’t just pucker up and run, there’s a certain protocol you gotta follow. And so Lea did as instructed, holding her little sea lion mouth to mine. Then, just as we were about to end our smooch, Lea let go an ever-so-hearty belch right through her nose. It was the pungent belch of a million little fishies and for the rest of the day, I could taste the raw herring and squid just as if I’d sucked down a few hundred myself.

Get wowed at Chinook Winds All are welcome on Saturday, Nov. 15, as the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians holds its annual Restoration Pow-Wow at Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City. This free event begins with a grand entry at 6 pm. American Indian vendors will be offering jewelry, beadwork and other items for sale throughout the day. This is the 37th year the Siletz Tribe has celebrated the signing of Public Law 95-195, which re-established governmentto-government relations between the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and the federal government. The Siletz Tribe had been terminated from

federal recognition in August 1954. In the late 1960s, it became apparent that the only way to preserve and revitalize Siletz Tribal sovereignty, community and culture was for the Siletz Tribe to regain its status as a Tribe recognized by the United States. In November 1977, after years of intense lobbying, Congress and President Jimmy Carter approved Public Law 95-195, which reinstated recognition of the Siletz as a federal Indian Tribe. The Siletz Tribe was the second in the nation — and the first in Oregon — to achieve restoration. Chinook Winds Casino is located at 1777 NW 44th Street.

Flock to Lincoln City

The SSS Bob Barker, a key member of the Sea Shepherd fleet

For An Evening with Sea Shepherd this Saturday

L

By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

ike it or not reality television is, well, a reality. And while there are shows about people with names like Honey Boo Boo or who are simply famous for being famous, every once in a while a program will come out that shows people doing amazing things. “Whale Wars” was an Animal Planet show that put film crews on boats manned by members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society during their campaigns to stop the killing of whales within protected waters. And on Saturday, Nov. 15, the Sea Shepherd will be coming to Lincoln City, with members of crew on deck at the Eventuary events center to tell tales of their adventures and answer questions. And in a case of true reality television, Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson will be talking to the audience via Skype from France, where he is currently in legal exile. Watson started Sea Shepherd in 1977 as a way to uphold the laws that established marine sanctuaries

where whaling was prohibited. Every season, when whale hunters entered sanctuary waters, Sea Shepherd members would put their boats between the whales and the hunters to try to stop them from illegally killing whales. Japanese whalers sought an injunction against Sea Shepherd and Watson. But, fortunately for the whales, the Japanese didn’t realize that Sea Shepard had independent chapters over the world that were not affected by the injunction. “They thought they had cut off the head of the organization,” said Scott West, Sea Shepherd’s director of intelligence and operations. “But instead they discovered a hydra.” Although Watson resigned his position with Sea Shepherd and the U.S. chapter ceased the campaign, the actions of the independent chapters gave the Japanese cause to accuse him of breaking the injunction. His current exile status persists while he fights to prove that his purpose is to uphold laws, not break them. “It’s an interesting life one leads when you go against a power elite,” West said. “And it’s an interesting time for the organization, but we want our supporters to know that we’re not dead; we’re bleeding, but not dead.”

Despite having been forced to cease the anti-whaling campaign, the Sea Shepherd chapters are still very active. Sea turtles and pilot whales are some of the other species that the group works to protect, and in another highprofile campaign, dolphins. That campaign centers on efforts to stop the dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan, as depicted in the Academy Awardwinning documentary “The Cove.” “There were a lot of people involved with trying to free the dolphins and get the word out about what was happening over there,” Scott said, “The film really propelled it into the center stage.

But people thought that the actions shown in the film stopped the slaughter, and it hadn’t. In 2010, I got a call from Paul who said, ‘Scott, how soon can you be in Japan?’” Watson had noticed that every year when the media and activists show up in Tiaji at the beginning of the dolphin-hunting season the hunters would simply wait for everyone to get bored and go home before resuming their operation. Watson wanted West to find out what would happen if there was a group that stayed. “That was his entire instruction to me,” West said. “Go find out what would happen if we never left.”

West got packing and invited his then-16-year-old daughter, Elora, who had been very affected by the movie, to accompany him to Japan to start the well-named campaign Infinite Patience, now on its fifth year of continuous presence. “On the plane I was giving her instructions about what to do if either of us got arrested,” he said. “I had a moment where I realized it was a very strange conversation to be having with your 16-yearold daughter.” You can meet West and hear his exciting stores while snacking on complimentary hors d’oeuvres on Saturday, Nov. 15, when An Evening with Sea Shepherd, gets underway at 5:30 pm. “This is not a fundraiser so much as chance for supporters to get together,” West said. “It’s a chance for us to meet new people and to share our vision for the future.” The Eventuary is located at 560 SW Fleet Street in Lincoln City. For more information about the event, call 541-992-5628. For more information about the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, go to www.seashepherd.org.

The headliner entertainment continues on Saturday, Nov. 15, with an afternoon concert that will see Bellow Bridge take to the stage with traditional instruments such as the accordion and uilleann pipes; followed by the energetic and varied tunes of Mari Black’s World Fiddle Mari Black Ensemble. The Saturday evening concert will feature Irish folk trio Makem and Spain, followed by Bua, a Celtic quartet that promises traditional Irish music played with precision and intensity. Members of the headlining groups will also

Cameo concerts at smaller venues throughout town will give festival goers the option of more intimate performances, while a poetry reading and progressive whiskey tasting will complete the Celtic ambiance. Throughout all three days of the festival, the Yachats Commons will host a Celtic Faire, featuring crafts, traditional foods and beer tasting. The festival will draw to a close on Sunday, with a Ceilidh dance led by Bua at the Yachats Commons.

The search for a suitable piece of outdoor art at the Lincoln City Cultural Center has been — well, exhausting. The center needed to find something that would fit on its west wall and screen the new exhaust ductwork that services the commercial kitchen in the lower level. The answer came in the form of “Aspire,” a 12-foottall, three-and-a-half-footwide trellis crafted in steel by Toledo sculptor Sam Briseño. “The Delake School conversion to the Lincoln City Cultural Center has been an aspiration,” Briseño said, “an ambition to create a community center that celebrates the arts, in many forms.” The piece includes vertical piping and decorative circle elements made of galvanized steel and is topped by a three-foot wide swirl, like the cultural center logo, made from assembled pieces of stainless steel.

Designed to wrap around the ductwork, the trellis will provide a framework for climbing plants. When these plants grow up, it is hoped that they will grow through the vertical waves and behind the swirl, to fully screen the fan and ductwork behind. The sculptural trellis was designed and fabricated by Briseño in his Toledo studio, and funded by grants from the Lincoln City Public Art Fund and the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency. Briseño will be in

attendance at a dedication and unveiling ceremony, set to begin at 4:30 pm on Friday, Nov. 14. In case of inclement weather, the group will assemble in the hall, just inside the center’s west entrance at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Afterwards, attendees will be invited to enjoy snacks and beverages inside the Chessman Gallery, as part of the opening reception for Ben Soeby’s “Live Your Dream” show.

The juried show is open to handcrafted or hand painted pieces, all of which will be available to buy on an “off-the-wall” basis. Artists can submit one painting or drawing and up to 10 ornaments apiece. All submissions must be ready to hang and come with all necessary hooks. Paintings and drawings should be no larger

than 22 by 30 inches and priced at no more than $210. Ornaments should be priced at no more than $95 each. OCCA members receive a 65-percent commission on any sales while non-members receive a 60-percent commission. Artists can hand deliver work to the center at 777 NW Beach Drive between 11 am and 5 pm, Tuesday to Sunday; or mail pieces to PO Box 1310, Newport, OR, 97365, being sure to include return postage and packaging. All submissions should be accompanied by a short artist’s statement and bio, a list of exhibit items and a signed OCCA loan agreement, the last of which is available by contacting Tom Webb at twebb@coastarts.org.

The owl and the pussycat… ...went to see Ben Soeby’s new show at the Chessman Gallery

Michael Gibbons with “Arnold Creek Estuary”

Oil, water... and wine The history of art that celebrates nature is the theme of a public reception for Toledo artist Michael Gibbons’ series “Yaquina” at Newport’s Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center on Saturday, Nov. 15. Presented as “Estuaries and Quiet Places,” the series depicts the Yaquina River watershed and was first shown in 2009 at the National Arts Club in New York City. Gibbons used the 14 original studies to compose the final large painting “Arnold Creek Estuary,” which was commissioned to hang in the dining room of Mahonia Hall, the Oregon governor’s residence. In the 19 years since, Gibbons has added more paintings, expanding the series to 35 pieces. The Nov. 15 wine and cheese reception, hosted by the Yaquina River Museum of Art, will run from 5 to 7 pm at the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center, 333 SE Bay Blvd. At 6 pm, Fran Recht of the Central Coast Land Conservancy will give a slide show on the long history of art celebrating the natural world. Along with the paintings, the exhibit includes items that give the viewer a glimpse behind the scenes of the traveling exhibit — chart maps with locations; specialty travel frames; and strong padded crating built for shipping by Gary Dorris of Toledo. “Yaquina” will be on display through December and the public is invited to view the show from noon to 4 pm, Thursday through Sunday. For more information, call 541-265 4261.

Friday, Nov. 14, will see the opening of a new show from artist Ben Soeby, aka: The Reverend Benny Bob, at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery. “Live Your Dream” is a collection of Soeby’ latest imaginative creations, inspired by the wildlife of the Oregon Coast’s rivers. The Lincoln City artist will be on hand to talk about his work at the show’s opening reception from 5 to 7 pm. Refreshments will be served. The show features intricate and playful Prismacolor pencil drawings on reclaimed wood that Soeby says are designed to shake people up and unveil hidden truths. “Becoming intimate with life’s fragility lets us speak truth, love freely, give completely, live fully,” he said. “My art is just as much an expression of my inner life as it is a plea to call forth the fullness of life in others. I want to open closets. I want to rearrange the furniture. I want to shake things up and shift things. I want the hidden to be revealed, the lost to be found, the forgotten to be remembered.” Born in Newberg in 1971, Soeby was exposed to art at a very young age through his father’s work as a potter and art instructor. In 1975, he moved with his family to Lincoln City, where he found outlets for his creativity in skateboarding, pop culture and recreational fishing as well as in painting, drawing and sculpture. After high school in Taft, Soeby graduated from Oregon State University in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in fine art, with emphasis on sculpture. At OSU, he was inspired by “outsider art,” symbolism and the work ethic of OSU professor Yuji Hiratsuka, an Osaka-born instructor of printmaking and drawing. Soeby went on to study art

in Europe as an independent-study exchange student and, later, traveled to Samoa and the Chiapas area of Mexico — both of which also influenced his work. He said the choice of reclaimed wood as his canvas is a key part of his art. “Reclaiming found objects for art is important to me,” he said. “I like the stories in the wood and the way weather leaves its scars.” The show will remain up until Dec. 8, available to view from 10 am to 4 pm Wednesday through Monday. The Chessman Gallery is located within the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541-994-9994 or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

Three mediums add up to one large show Photography and watercolors will hang alongside art created with colored pencils in the latest Spotlight Show at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery in Newport. The two-week show, which opens on Sunday, Nov. 16, will feature works by Richard LaFond, Carol Summers and Alice LaFond. Richard LaFond says that after working professionally for nearly 50 years, he has found he enjoys photographic images of all kinds, especially portraiture. Since moving to Oregon 13 years ago and becoming a member of the YAA gallery, he has discovered it is also quite exciting and pleasurable to shoot flowers and scenic photographs that highlight the beauty of the coast. The coast’s natural beauty is also an inspiration for Carol Summers, who said she

strives to capture some of that beauty and share it with others. “Watercolor is a fascinating medium,” she said. “I have found joy in blending endless bright, transparent colors, whether in a pastoral landscape, an exciting seascape, a complex abstract or a flurry of flowers.” And Alice LaFond says she never loses enthusiasm for creating art with colored pencils. “Although I am fond of subjects like clowns and carousel horses, I also like to paint flowers and animals,” she said. “To me it is magical to watch a colored pencil work turn out to look like a watercolor or an oil painting”.
