YOU DON’T JUST BUY A HOUSE. YOU BUY ITS ENERGY COSTS. A lot of factors go into your home’s energy costs. That’s why we created EPS TM —Energy Trust of Oregon’s energy performance score—a valuable tool in measuring home energy use. EPS is a way to rate the energy performance of a new or existing home compared to similar homes in Oregon. After all, the more you know about your home's energy use, the more you can do something about it.

+To find a trade ally builder, contractor or real estate professional who can provide an EPS score for your home, call 1.866.368.7878 or visit www.energytrust.org/eps. Serving customers of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural and Cascade Natural Gas.

TOW ER AMAZING KRESKIN Dec. 8

N Deck the Halls & Start the Music otes From the Publisher

Pamela Hulse Andrews

friend said recently she ‘hated Christmas music’....I said ‘you’re not listening to the right music!’ I assured her that it may be an acquired taste, but the joy of it can quite simply change your attitude. I absolutely, positively love holiday music....in fact it’s kind of an obsession as I start playing it around Halloween. My playlist includes both traditional and unusual everything from contemporary and best-loved crooners to jazz, blues, country and Cajun. Who sings the best Silent Night? ( Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland) Who manages to draw out a perfect rendition of Baby It’s Cold Outside? (Kellie Willis & Bruce Robison) What’s not to love about Christmas on the Bayou on Alligator Record Christmas Collection, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Loren Schoenberg on A Jazz Christmas), White Christmas (Frank

Sinatra) and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (She & Him on A Very Christmas)? You can either cry and smile when you hear Rod Stewart and Ella Fitzgerald on Merry Christmas, Baby sing What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? Whatever emotion is rendered to you, you’ll be glad you listened to that album. The Grinch acted as if he hated Christmas -the whole Christmas season -- and the music annoyed him the most saying ‘It’s joyful and triumphant.’ That’s exactly the point, it lifts the soul, inspires your kindness and transports a spirit of giving and sharing.

Somehow, not only for Christmas, But all the long year through, The joy that you give to others, Is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing, The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart’s possessing, Returns to you glad.

John Greenleaf Whittier, American poet (1807 – 1892)

The holidays are a lovely time of year. I hope you’ll start your own playlist and take pleasure in the musical riches that so many remarkable musicians, songwriters and singers have created over the years. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

What Rhymes with Egypt? A

Literary Word

Image courtesy of Euijin Gray

group of seven diverse artists are making bold plans to embark on an adventure to Egypt for a creative project in early spring of 2014.

Dubbed What Rhymes with Egypt, the project consists of Bend local creatives MOWO, Kaycee Anseth, Kristina Cyr, Euijin and Nathan Gray of theBedouins.org, as well as Tunisian artist VAJO and Moey Zakaria of Jordan. They are actively formulating a trip to Cairo and Alexandria to engage the creative community and ‘put down on paper’ their responses to the current cultural state of Egypt. The experiences will be culminated in the form of an art book of rhymes in three parts: Book one is a photographic conversation between culture and tradition. Book two is a visual and verbal compilation of the collective experience in Egypt. Book Three will illustrate with collage traditional Egyptian children’s rhymes. A Kickstarter “all or nothing” campaign was launched to raise funds for the project and will run thru December. Creative rewards from the artists will be available to the generous funders. For more information contact Euijin Gray at 541-977-2665 or euijingray@gmail.com.

he Where To Eat Guide & Associates Inc. announces the launch of its debut cookbook, Sizzle & Buzz: What’s Cookin’ in the Region’s Hottest Restaurants, on December 1. Capturing stories, recipes, tips and tricks from acclaimed kitchens and personalities in Seattle, Portland and Bend, the book features full-color photography, exclusive stories from 50+ restaurants including Little Bird Bistro, Smallwares, Poppy, Spork and more. From James Beard award-winning kitchens to up-and-coming stars of neighborhood favorites, Sizzle & Buzz gives the full flavor of the Pacific Northwest’s top dining destinations and invites readers to recreate their favorite dishes at home. The recipes, from The Blackstone at Chow in Bend to Spiced Delicata Squash at Poppy in Seattle to Duck Confit at Wildwood in Portland, are approachable and exciting to cooks of all levels and tastes. Readers will learn not only how to make the dishes, but also tips directly from the chefs that will help them grow in the kitchen and have fun while doing it. A portion of the Sizzle & Buzz proceeds will go to Fill Empty Plates through The Portland Police Bureau’s Sunshine Division, Operation Sack Lunch in Seattle, and the Hunger Prevention Coalition of Central Oregon. The Where to Eat Guide has been publishing restaurant guides for eight years, starting in Bend then expanding to Portland, Napa and Seattle respectively.

he Deschutes Public Library Foundation is hosting A Novel Idea Unveiled on Friday, December 6 from 7–9pm at the Downtown Bend Library. This free annual event is open to all ages and provides the public the first opportunity to learn what the A Novel Idea community read selection is for 2014. This year’s book will be available to purchase and check-out at the Library that evening. For 10 years, Deschutes County residents have celebrated A Novel Idea… Read Together. Regarded as the premier community reading program in the state of Oregon, A Novel Idea has taken readers from the rivers of Oregon to the hills of Afghanistan to the streets of Manhattan and beyond. The success of the project comes from the thousands of Deschutes County residents who embrace the program and participate actively in its free cultural events and author visits every year. “We encourage the public to attend this free and festive event and check out the first copies of this year’s A Novel Idea selection,” said Community Relations Manager Chantal Strobel. “The Library Foundation looks forward to hosting this event every year. As in years past, there is a lot of excitement about the book that has been selected.” Guests can expect the annual trivia quiz, appetizers and no-host beer and wine. Planning for A Novel Idea 2014 is already underway says Strobel. “More than 20 cultural programs are planned to build and expand the themes of the book for deeper discussion and understanding,” she said. “We also make available book club kits to local book groups throughout Deschutes County – free of charge.” According to Strobel it is not too early to reserve a book kit. A Novel Idea officially kicks off Saturday, April 12, and culminates with the author’s visit to Central Oregon in early May. All programs, including the three author presentations, are offered to the public free of charge. Book club representatives can call 541-312-1032 or email lizg@deschuteslibrary.org to reserve a kit.

A Spontaneous Local Art + Design Collaboration by Euijin Gray

e met for a long overdue coffee at Palete, Amy and I. Amy Castaño has been in Bend a long time. I know this from seeing her intriguing perspective through photography at various shows, particularly at BICA, a contemporary gallery that I enjoyed for a time years ago.

intricate images using pieces of paper from magazines.

I wondered about seeing more of her work and inquired. It sounded like there wasn’t much time these days to share her photography in a show with the community, though she still takes photos regularly and has thousands of images. There’s so much of her work that has not been shown. Spontaneously an idea came to me. It was to feature her bike photos on a 2014 calendar. It meant at least 13 of her images could be seen by the public. Fortunately, she agreed to venture into the idea. So, we created a calendar featuring Amy’s select bike photos, one of her loves.

We had to move quickly as 2013’s end was approaching. We needed printing estimates, cost analysis, 2014 months and holidays, as well as design, layout, image sequenceing, proofs and print time.

The same morning I came back to my studio at Studio 3, which used to be a photographer’s co-op and now is a shared space for artists. I saw Kaycee Anseth there, formerly of PoetHouse, makes colorful,

The moment I saw her I knew there needed to be a calendar featuring her work as well. I shared the idea with her and she also was keen on sharing her recent work in the calendar form.

The end result? Two local artists featured in a calendar format to be enjoyed throughout 2014. To support the artist and designer collaboration, the calendars can be purchased at Feather’s Edge Finery and Visit Bend in downtown Bend. The Bicycle calendars will be available at select local bike shops. Etsy shops are in the works for both calendars and, of course, they are available by contacting us directly. design@euijingray.com, 541-977-2665. Download the CascadeAE App | December 2013

Derek Sitter, will perform Santaland Diaries

olcanic Theatre Pub (VTP) is producing The Santaland Diaries written by David Sedaris and adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello. The oneman one-act reading features professional actor Derek Sitter, founder of Volcanic Theatre Pub. The show opens with a preview on Thursday Dececember 5 with a Pay As You Cans admission. Audience gains entry with recyclable cans or cash donations to benefit The Bethlehem Inn. The Santaland Diaries is written by humorist/comedian/author David Sedaris (Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk, When You Are Engulfed in Flames) and recounts his experience working as an elf at Santaland in Macy’s Herald Square. The reading/performance is accompanied with over 100 hilarious, and often touching, slides on the 16-foot cinema screen. Sitter has been working professionally as an actor, instructor and director for over 25 years. He received his masters of fine arts in acting from Louisiana State University in 1994. He is a life member of the well-known The Actors Studio since 2000. He has been a member of the Screen Actors Guild since 1995. Sitter states, “This performance is often dark and pointed. Sedaris himself is not a fan of the superficial play adaptation that is often performed for cheap laughs and misses the humanity (and inhumanity) of our commercialized holiday season. “I’m reluctant to have any of my stories adapted for the stage. I gave permission once before and have regretted it ever since. To me they’re just stories meant to live on the page or read aloud. Costumes and sets do nothing to enhance them,” Sedaris said. “Santaland, though it’s now performed by theatre companies across the country, still fails to work as a play. I intend to honor the writer’s intention of the original story with a very truthful reading/performance that, although still humorous, is often dark and potentially offensive, yet always touching and hopeful in the end.” Much of Sedaris’s humor is autobiographical and self-deprecating, and often concerns his family life, his middle-class upbringing in the suburbs of Raleigh, North Carolina, Greek heritage, jobs, education, drug use, obsessive behaviors and his life in France, London and the South Downs. The one-man one-act reading runs December 5–21. Show begins at 7:30pm and admission is $10. Volcanic Theatre Pub is located in Century Center Bend at 70 SW Century Drive (next to GoodLife Brewing). Advanced tickets are available at www.bendticket.com for a small service fee. Derek@volcanictheatrepub.com, 541-323-1881, www.volcanictheatrepub.com.

Snow Monkeys

The Illustrated Life of Taylor Rose is Infused With Childlike Wonder by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

Taylor Rose

www.CascadeAE.com| December 2013

t all starts with a story. An epic snowboarding season on Mt. Bachelor turns into Snow Monkeys, a tale of a girl and her dog turns into The Collectors and a favorite Christmas movie and memories of being bundled up and unable to move turns into Randy. Each illustration Taylor Rose begins already has a detailed story behind it, and the results are whimsical forays into the playfulness of nature and an invitation to the viewer to create their own story. Illustrator Taylor Rose moved to Bend late last year with her boyfriend, Tim Jones, after both graduated from art school. Jones is an artist and illustrator as well, but works with a slightly different subject matter, “He likes the horror genre. It’s funny to see our studio, there are foxes and puppies and then a zombie or monster,” Rose said with a laugh. “We didn’t know anyone in Oregon or Bend, and that’s how we wanted it,” she said. “We wanted something new; we came down McKenzie Pass and that alone blew me away. I’m a pretty avid snowboarder, and seeing the Cascades was exciting to me. There is something really special about Bend. The people and every scene is inspiring.” Rose taps into the child-like wonder of her upbringing in a small New Hampshire town when she places pen to paper; exploring the forest, mountains and beaches instilled a creative spirit that pays homage to nature, adventures and animals, and her family was pivotal in nurturing that passion from

the very beginning when she used to sell them her early art for a nickel or dime. “I have been drawing since I was about two with crayons and pencils, and it continued through middle school and high school when I decided to pursue art in college,” she explained. “It was in college that I really found my style and thought, ‘This is it, this is what I want to do and have to do.’” Her mediums of pen, ink and watercolor took on a deeper meaning once she took a class on children’s books. Discovering the art of storytelling, she knew in each piece she created she wanted there to be a story. In fact, it needed to lead the creation. Many of her illustrations start with short stories she has written herself or inspirations from childhood cartoons. “Each illustration begins with my imagination, which thrives in being surrounded by nature, wildlife, cartoons and comics,” she explained. In addition to watching a lot of cartoons, she looks to other creatives like digital artist Brett Bean and early 20th century watercolorist Edmund Dulac for insight. “Dulac is one of the first people to tell children’s stories through art, it’s pretty inspirational. Bean does a lot of concept work on animation and cartoons and I love everything that Laika does (an animation studio that produced recent movies like ParaNorman). “My ultimate goal as an artist is to be involved in cartoons, animation, film or anything like that,” she said. “I think that’s why I have that story interest. Ideally I want [my illustrations] to be a story; a moving picture.” Rose plans to teach herself how to learn digital animation, primarily through online tutorials. For her first animated feature she has plans to turn her senior project in art school, a book she wrote and illustrated called The Most Beautiful Beard, into an animated story. Rose starts every work of art with the story, pen, ink and watercolor before transferring the image to the digital realm. She makes high resolution scans of her own watercolor marks and splatters and creates digital paint brushes to further work on the image. “It’s really watercolor on top of watercolor” she said. “I think people get a little turned off by the word digital in the art world, but

Cover Story

there is so much people are doing with it these days. It’s hard to just ignore how incredible it can be as a tool. “Photoshop brushes are a digital version of a stroke; they are digital versions of my own painting. That is what gets overlaid over the original pen and ink and watercolor,” she explained. “It’s not overwhelmingly digital…. I never want my work to be 100 percent computer based or digital, it will always have pen and ink and watercolor in that initial process, and then I use digital medium to bring it out.” Rose will spend between 30 – 80 hours on an illustration depending on how much detail she includes. “I love when people double take on a piece and then get closer and realize there is a lot in there. If I have a show I will try to not let people know I’m the artist right away because I love to just see their genuine reaction to the piece,” she commented. “I don’t want to influence the viewer too much so they can create their own story, I keep my own personal attachment to the piece.” While her primary medium is pen, ink and watercolor, she took up acrylic paints to work in a much larger format than usual for a piece for the Tin Pan Alley Art Collection; Octopus is a larger rendition of an illustration she has by the same name. It can be seen across from Lone Pine Coffee and Tin Pan Theater. “I really enjoyed it, working that large and in a different format. Most of my work is really detailed, but working big was a great challenge for me… I’ve always wanted to make that octopus huge, so I just went for it.” Rose freelances full-time as an artist and illustrator, and even though some months might be leaner than others, wouldn’t trade the luxury of making art for a living for a padded paycheck. In addition to her own personal projects she takes commissions, including family portraits. Rose has had an ongoing exhibits at The Loft and Hawthorn Healing Center; she will participate in Craft-O in the Old Ironworks District on December 14-15. http://taylorrosemakesart.com, tayrosec@gmail.com.

ia Delia is a hand-crafted, pin-back button and fridge-magnet studio, established in 2007 by Bend artist Delia Paine, also known as, “the Buttonista.” Delia chanced upon her own technique while tinkering with various materials and printing processes. Her products are known for their wide assortment of patterns and colors, combined with bold, black graphics. She uses a vast, ever-changing collection of decorative paper to keep her customers – and herself - engaged over time. Traveling to ferret out spectacular paper is Delia’s favorite part of the business. She explained, “I love the hunt: getting to a paper store in a place like Barcelona, and then discovering exotic, magenta paper, patterned in silver... Now, who else is going to find that?!” Most locals are familiar with Via Delia’s colorful refrigerator magnets that sport the iconic Bend logo. But she also sells campaign buttons during general elections and custom products for customers around the country. Delia’s holiday ornaments are made with vintage holiday gift wrap, giving new life to nostalgic images of Santa, poinsettias, snowflakes, etc. They are sold at Cascade Cottons, Newport Avenue Market, Lone Crow Bungalow, Visit Bend, The Oregon Store and Postal Connections - and the Made in Oregon stores around the state. Via Delia also makes bottle openers, with sayings like, “In dog beers, I’ve only had one,” and “Bend - giving beer the attention it deserves.” These are made with more understated papers such as faux wood grain and embossed foil. Along with the resident artists of The Old Ironworks and 49 other art-

Jason Waldron

Creating Intricate Art Pieces With Wood Boundless

by ALLY HAND CASCADE A&E INTERN reating art is Jason Waldron’s passion, but creating unique art pieces with wood is his specialty. Waldron has over 12 years of experience as a professional sculptor. His work has been shown all over Bend and all of the wood he uses for his creations is local. To create a beautiful wood sculpture, Waldron starts the process by establishing an initial sketch for clearer understanding for himself, or a client. Each design is based on his own inspiration, usually sparked by the wood’s innate character or discovering who the client is and what inspires them. In the primary stage of creation, his focus is on the basic elements of sculpture such as form, silhouette, proportion, movement, composition, emphasis and so on. From there Waldron starts the secondary stage which focuses on placement of features, adding texture and refining some of the forms. The final stage of sculpting perfects tiny details with small power tools. The finished piece usually has some differences from the original sketch but Waldron states, “The beauty of this process is that I’m not exactly sure what the end sculpture will look like until it’s finished.” One of the best aspects of creating sculpture, he says, is working with his hands. Waldron adds, “Wood, especially high desert wood, is my favorite medium to use because of its organic nature and seemingly endless character which is continually inspiring and unpredictable.” If Waldron is using wood or ice he will use chisels, chainsaws, angle grinders, die grinders, dremels,and also drills. If he’s working with metal he will use a torch, welder, grinders and various shaping tools. If working with clay he uses various modeling tools. Waldron’s most recognized sculpture is called Boundless. It is a wall hanging assemblage/ carved sculpture of an eagle in flight with a wingspan of almost 10 feet. It is constructed from foraged, weathered pieces of Central Oregon High Desert wood; such as Manzanita for the base and compliments of Juniper, Sage and Pine filling out the rest. While creating Boundless, Waldron was struggling within himself and life regarding his perceived limitations, a fortress of deception imprisoning his soul. “In this creative process

of discovering God’s true word, He shattered the walls of false identity, insecurity, independence, control, etc., giving me the realization that alone I am bound and enslaved, yet when united with Jesus through faith I am free and boundless!” The main creative expression behind Waldron’s work is God. He declares that, “Through life, creating sculpture and His word, God reveals his and my true identity by process of discovery and transformation.” It is Waldron’s hope that the passion for understanding and living in God is shown through his life and specifically his art in ways that inspire others. waldron3d@gmail.com, www.waldron3d.com.

Through a contracted coaching program, they will also discover the skills needed to overcome obstacles and barriers that have tripped them up in the past. “Our desire is to make the artist development program a highly collaborative community where students learn to cultivate the internal motivation and the confidence they will need to succeed in college and life,” adds Anderson. “As I mentioned before we have worked with a number of other organizations through the years, collaborating on some very cool projects... collaboration will continue to be a huge part of what we do.” The PoetHouse will be collaborating with College Excel, a company that is passionate about unlocking the gifts and talents of students while helping them turn their dreams into reality. They will work together to provide scholarships for under-served students who will be given the chance to grow artistically, as well as develop life and academics skills. While participating in the artist development program, students will give back to the community through serving opportunities with the PoetHouse or some of the other incredible non-profits here in Central Oregon. 541-241-2142 www.poethouseart.com.

ber of the Oil Painters of America, her art appeared at the seventh annual Plein Air Invitational (2013) in Borrego Springs, the Yosemite Renaissance XV at the Museum at Yosemite National Park and will appear in Cowgirl Up! at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona in 2014. The show exhibits both traditional and contemporary art while recognizing the contributions of women artists to the cultural legacy of the American West.

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents oil landscapes of Central Oregon by Joanne Donaca and Janice Druian in the lower gallery as well as Marjorie Wood Hamlin’s collage of copper and gold foil, and her mixed media works in the upper gallery. The exhibit continues during the Traditions festivities through January 5. Donaca, Bend artist and Oregon native, expresses her passion for the High Desert through her landscapes in oil. Her former impressionistic style of strong brushwork and heavy impasto now yields to a less defined, expressionistic imagery featuring integrated brushwork. She continues use of her traditional bold, yet realistic, palette. Appearing in the exhibit are scenes of Central Oregon forests in fall colors as well as scenes of Sunriver and the Deschutes in winter. Donaca is a member of the Oil Painters of America, a sustaining associate member of the Watercolor Society of America and a signature member of the Northwest Pastel Society. Her art appears in collections throughout the U.S. including that of Sunriver Resort and Franklin Crossing; the Sunriver Music Festi-

Living the Dream in Paradise……

Sunriver Style

unriver locals and visitors alike are captivated when they visit the Artists’ Gallery located in the Sunriver Village. Join the artists for Second Saturday Artists’ Reception December 14, 4-7pm that includes wine, food and an art raffle. The quality and variety of fine art pieces is amazing, and the frequently updated displays never fail to engage. A key ingredient in the gallery’s success is the group of 30 artists whose mission is to make great art affordable to everyone. Although all gallery artists live and work in Central Oregon, seven of those artists actually are living the dream right here in Sunriver. Midge and Gene Thomas moved to Sunriver from the valley a few years back. Although Midge admits that she always wanted to run her own gallery, probably Gene never thought that he would get pulled into the dream as well. Midge put her head together with another local, Susan HarknessWillams and the Artists’ Gallery was conceived. Three years later, Midge and Susan are delighted at the wild success of their idea. Midge continues to head up the board of directors, and her artistic passion has evolved from watercolor to metal art, and Gene’s stained glass art pieces twinkle in the gallery windows. Susan has taken gourd art

to a whole new level, and her handmade jewelry is always popular. Nancy and Greg Cotton retired from professions in the valley as well. Both were math field educators that clearly used the artistic side of their brains as well. Greg produces beautiful wood art (cutting boards, wine racks, chess boards and more).; Nancy sews fabric art and quilts. Carolyn Waissman is another Sunriver local that has been inWoodwork by strumental in the success Greg Cotton of the gallery. Her photography is well known in the area. Deni Porter, a more recent artist to the gallery, displays watercolor paintings. Artists living in Sunriver year round spotlighted during December include Carolyn Waissman (photography), Midge Thomas (metal art), Gene Thomas (stained glass), Deni Porter (watercolors), Susan Harkness Williams (gourd art), Greg Cotton (wood art) and Nancy Cotton (fiber art). 57100 Beaver Dr., 541-5932127 or 541-593-8274, www.artistsgallerysunriver.com.

Jean Wells Keenan Featured Quilter at Japanese Quilt Show

International Cultural Exchange Continues Between Central Oregon & Yokohama, Japan

isters Outdoor Quilt Show (SOQS) announced that Board Chair Jean Wells Keenan is invited to be the Featured Quilter at the Yokohama Quilt Festival, one of the largest quilt shows in Japan, this November. Wells Keenan, co-owner of the Stitchin’ Post with her daughter Valori Wells Kennedy, and founder of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, will be lecturing, holding a workshop and exhibiting her work showing over 35 years of quilt design and creation. The invitation came from Naomi Ichikawa, editor of a major Japanese quilt publication, which is a lead sponsor of the Yokohama event. Ichikawa visited Sisters during a media tour through Oregon, hosted by the Sisters Chamber of Commerce and Travel Oregon. She was impressed with Wells Keenan, and learning more about the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. Ichikawa also suggested the Two Rivers, Three Sisters quilt exhibit commissioned by the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show be mounted at the Yokohama show, and helped arrange logistics of that display. In planning her workshop for some 24 students, Wells Keenan will provide kits, pictures and stories, which she says are of great interest to Japanese quilters. She will be us-

An interpreter will be provided by the Festival. “It is such an honor to be invited to the Yokohama Quilt Festival,” Wells Keenan stated. “I have long held a deep respect for Japanese quilting, and 25 years ago was able to bring some of Japan’s quilts to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show through connections with a shop owner in Tokyo. I thank everyone who is making my up-coming trip possible, and most especially the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. Although SOQS is now a separate non-profit organization from the Stitchin’ Post, I also know I will always find ways to help the Show grow and prosper.” Jean Wells Keenan

Jeanette Pilak, executive director of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, calls Wells Keenan “a cultural treasure” to Sisters, Central Oregon and the Show. “We are so proud of her achievements, her continued professional development and her spirit of teaching and sharing both in the community and the fabric arts world,” Pilak said.

Welcome to The Sisters Country Cooley’s Collection Gallery Opens in Sisters

by JEFF SPRY A&E Feature Writer An original clay model of a Grant’s gazelle sits in the light of his back room studio with sculpting tools scattered around it. “I sit and stare at it and look at the piece from a distance and if there’s a problem it will show up and then I can correct it. This is a commission for a Colorado veterinarian and I’ve been into it about a week. Once a client picks out what they want I’ll go on the internet and find all the information I can. I’ll take six or eight photos to start with then I might get more intense for close ups, eye pattern and around the nose.” The entire modeling stage can take up to a month or more to complete before it is taken to the foundry, where it’s cut into pieces for rubber molds. Wax duplicates are then made and finally cast into bronze. “I made my first bronze piece back in 1983. It was a nautical man holding a lantern in a storm. Since then I’ve done someplace between 100-150 bronzes, both North American pieces and African statues. I believe my first African piece was a Cape buffalo.” Cooley enjoys an international clientele who seek out his art for its incredible distinction and realism. Many of his pieces grace the homes and businesses of a wide range of customers and friends. “I’ve shipped pieces all over the world, to Africa, Hong Kong, Egypt and England. Even an American Eagle in Bush Senior’s home in Kennebunkport.” His wife, Karen, has seen demand and appreciation for Cooley’s masterful art blossom over the past three decades. “His passion for art has deepened,” she said.“He and his brother were raised in an auto parts store in Southern California and when they sold it, Gary moved to Oregon in the late 1960s. He brings an enthusiasm and intensity to his art people respond to. They like that he gets the realism in each animal, especially in the eye. Not all artists can do eyes well. People comment on that all the time.” Cooley’s hopes for the gallery are for people to come in and find something that might compliment their home, whether it’s Native American, Western or his moving African work. “We really enjoy the fact that everyone has been so gracious and welcoming to us. We’re planning an open house celebration on Saturday, December 7 for the holidays so check our website.” Gary Cooley’s The Collection Gallery, 353 Hood Avenue, Sisters. www.garycooley.com, 541-588-6253.

f an exotic African safari isn’t exactly in your travel budget, an excursion to Gary Cooley’s fine art gallery in Sisters might be the next best thing. Cooley’s The Collection Gallery is an amazing menagerie of Dark Gary Cooley Continent animal sculptures and oil paintings on display in the tame settings of downtown Sisters, where his bronze creations snarl and stampede within his cozy new gallery. From charging elephants and white rhinos, to Cape buffalo and horned gazelles, it’s a refreshing escape from the typical western art found in Central Oregon art emporiums. “The reason I do the African is because for many years now I’ve done Safari Club International, an annual show with 1,500 exhibitors,” he said. “They’re an organization that does a lot of charitable and humanitarian things for the African people. Visitors who attend the show and support the organization love my African art so I do pieces for them and they really enjoy them.” For someone who’s never stepped foot on African soil, Cooley has a remarkable affinity for the form and essence of the country’s native animal population. “I’ve literally worked off hundreds of photographs. Morning and evening shots are always nice because they cast shadows and you pick up areas of light and shadow you might not normally see in direct sunlight.” Cooley holds up a photo of a magnificent five-foot long bull elephant and recalls sculpting it on speculation and ended up selling 10 of them in four days. “I think what makes them special is that I’ve always been able to capture a real look. One of the comments I get a lot are on my Cape buffalo, a very dangerous animal. There’s an old saying that in order to do a Cape buffalo correctly you have to make him look like you owe him money. They’re always mad.” And not that Cooley doesn’t dabble in Western art as well, as an eclectic array of bucking horses, burly bears and bison bronzes can attest. Cooley’s comfortable corner gallery on Hood Avenue is furnished with leather couches and antiques, creating a relaxing atmosphere to absorb details of his work. On walls bordering the big game and Maasai warriors are oil paintings aglow with red rock canyons, dusty mountainmen and aspen groves. Well-known Central Oregon artist Cindy Briggs is the featured watercolorist. “A friend of mine bought this building and he said I’d like you to move your gallery in there so he cut me a great deal. Upstairs there’s a 1,400 square foot office with a fireplace we’re converting to a living space with beautiful views of the Three Sisters peaks.”

St. Charles Hospice - Christmas on the Front

t. Charles Hospice, Robberson Ford and the St. Charles Foundation are teaming up to present the 22nd annual hospice Christmas auction, Christmas on the Front, December 6-7. A fundraiser to support Central Oregon hospice and transition patients, the auction features beautiful trees, quilts and other items to bid on. Money raised this year will help cover the cost of providing care to uninsured patients, said Kay Kludt, St. Charles Hospice volunteer coordinator. “Our census for hospice and transitions has doubled since last year. We’re now providing care for about 150 patients a month,” she said. “The Christmas auction is a wonderful opportunity to buy unique gifts — and support an organization that plays an important caregiving role in our community.” The auction will be held at a new location this year, the indoor arena at the Crook County Fairgrounds, in order to accommodate a larger crowd. Kludt

said more than 500 people are expected to attend. “This has become a signature event for our community,” she said. “We’re especially excited about the theme this year, ‘Christmas on the Front,’ which is a tribute to our armed forces since our event falls on December 7, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.” An open house will be held December 6 from 3 to 8pm at the indoor arena at the Crook County Fairgrounds. The auction is December 7 at 5pm at the same place. Admission is $10 per person, or $300 per reserved table.

ver since I was introduced to the intoxicatingly delicious and down- just any foie gras. One slice was done peanut-butter-and-jelly style (I’m serious!) right seductive off-the-menu fare at 5 Fusion, I’ve yearned to repeat while the other was served atop sweet-chili granola, Joe’s tongue-in-cheek nod the experience. While some people dream of sugar-plums dancing in to those who object to foie gras being served at all. their heads, my dreams were of delicate slices of ivory salmon served in a glass Next we each enjoyed a small, spicy (raw) tuna taco with a rice cracker shell, fish bowl draped atop a large black stone and perfumed by lemongrass-scented which was presented in a paper wrapper inside a small wooden box.

Take 6

he most awarded vocal group in history (10 Grammy Awards, 10 Dove Awards and a Soul Train Award)

brings their holiday cheer to Central Oregon on Tuesday, December 10 at 7:30pm. The Tower Theatre Foundation welcomes Take 6, singing classic holiday songs from their Christmas CD The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, plus original tunes for the Christmas season. Claude McKnight, Mark Kibble, Joel Kibble, Dave Thomas, Alvin Chea and Khristian Dentley, heralded by Quincy Jones as the “baddest vocal cats on the planet!” form the quintessential a cappella group. Six virtuosic voices united in crystal clear harmony, against a backdrop of syncopated rhythms, innovative arrangements and grooves that bubble into an intoxicating brew of gospel, jazz, R&B and pop. Of the group that knows no musical bounds, McKnight says, “Take 6 is pretty much a play on the Take 5 jazz standard. And the fact that there are six of us in the group!” Their self-titled debut CD won over jazz and pop critics, scored two 1988 Grammy Awards and landed in the Top Ten Billboard Contemporary Jazz and Contemporary Christian charts. And they’ve never looked back. 541-317-0700 or TowerTheatre.org.

n what is now a holiday tradition, the Central Oregon Mastersingers return to Bend’s Tower Theatre to present their annual Christmas concert on December 14-15. This year’s concert, A Baroque Christmas, features Magnificat by J.S. Bach. This brilliant masterpiece for chorus, soloists and orchestra is one of Bach’s most beloved choral works, and a cornerstone of the Christmas repertoire. The Mastersingers will be joined on stage by a 24-piece orchestra, all under the direction of maestro Clyde Thompson. Also on the program will be familiar carols and lighter works to celebrate the season. Soloists in Magnificat are Trish Sewell, Katy Hays, Melissa Carter, Christian Clark and Danny Brown. “There is fantastic talent here in Central Oregon,” Thompson commented, “and I feel lucky to be able to work with all 70 musicians in this concert. It’s a very exciting time to be involved in the arts here.” Robberson Ford and Pacific Power sponsor the concerts. The 10 Below restaurant in The Oxford Inn will offer show-night dinner specials. 541-317-0700 or TowerTheatre.org.

Alligator Records Christmas Collection

f you’ve ever heard Charlie Musselwhite sing Silent Night or yearn for Koko Taylor to tell you her version of Christmas, then you’ll love this CD. From New Orleans, New York City and Chicago, the performers on this work of art are funky, bluesy and soulful........I love it. Not your traditional rendition of holiday music. It’s just plain uplifting and delivers the holidays to you in alligator fashion. Hey Mr. Rudolf Bring Santa Home to Me! First released in 1992 this entertaining CD serves a dual purpose, introducing listeners to many of the blues artists who have recorded for Alligator and giving consumers a rare Christmas blues record. The performers include Koko Taylor, Kenny Neal, Lil’ Ed & the Blues Imperials, Katie Webster (on a rollicking Deck the Halls With Boogie Woogie), William Clarke, Tinsley Ellis, Charles Brown (Boogie Woogie Santa Claus), Son Seals, Lonnie Brooks, Little Charlie & the Nightcats, Elvin Bishop, Saffire, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown and Charlie Musselwhite. With the exception of Bishop’s The Little Drummer Boy and Musselwhite’s Silent Night all of the selections are originals by the artists. Although the musicians all play in the same general genre, this set has enough variety (and good feelings) to hold one’s interest throughout. By Pamela Hulse Andrews

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas

Happy Holidays from Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison

’m a child of the ‘80s, and it wasn’t Christmas until my mom put on her Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CD while we decorated the tree and made our annual gingerbread house. I grew up listening to that album every year, and even today while I’m going about my day and any of the tracks from that album come on, I’m instantly transported to memories of hanging tinsel and sifting powdered sugar over the gingerbread house. Christmas was Mannheim Steamroller’s first holiday album, released in 1984, and was the seventh best-selling Christmas album in the U.S. as of last year. Oddly enough Christmas was a hard sell at first, but that only fueled founder Chip Davis’s determination to market his music. Nine million sales later, the group is still around and has since produced 16 other holiday albums and compilations. The name Mannheim Steamroller derives from an 18th-century German musical technique, Mannheim roller, which is a crescendo passage which has a rising melodic line over an ostinato bass line. The result? A very soothing melodic take on some holiday favorites such as Deck the Halls, We Three Kings and my favorite, Silent Night. Founders Davis and Jackson Berkey started Mannheim Steamroller as an alias for Davis, a record producer and composer. With contemporary interpretations of holiday favorites, the synthesized instruments showcase creative approaches to the traditional tunes. Mannheim Steamroller has had guest appearances by Johnny Mathis, Olivia Newton-John and jazz legend Paul Winter, and produces a very popular annual Christmas tour, now in it’s 25th year. So this year when you are baking cookies or wrapping presents, put on Christmas for a little more holiday cheer. By Renee Patrick

friend and I were trying to find the best rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas when I first encountered Kelly Willis on this CD. Willis, critically acclaimed as a roots music singer, is recognized as a new country and Americana pioneer. She appeared in the Tim Robbins film Bob Roberts and was heard singing the Dave Alvin/John Doe song Little Honey in the hit movie Thelma and Louise. Bruce Robison has made his mark as both a singer and songwriter of number one hits like Wrapped (George Strait), Angry All The Time (Tim McGraw and Faith Hill) and Travelin’ Soldier (Dixie Chicks). After releasing a holiday EP together in 2003 their annual Christmas season concerts have become a Texas Yuletide tradition. Married for 15 years and the parents of four children and following their own singular successes, they are now collaborating as a duo and developing a musical quantity that is entirely new and utterly its own. Meanwhile from Santa Baby to Baby, It’s Cold Outside you’ll find this very appealing holiday album charming and endearing. Robison’s rendition of A Winter’s Tale by R. B. Morris is simply fabulous. Kelly and Bruce share the vocals on Baby, It’s Cold Outside….perfect harmonization and very personal. You can just see the two of them discussing the options of staying or going out in the winter cold. “Kelly you’ll freeze out there.” “I really can’t stay,” she responds. The Christmas Waltz, performed by Robison with sentimental bravado and then Please Daddy, Don’t Get Drunk, somewhat humorously shared by both Willis and Robison is delightful. “Don’t cry mama, everything’s going to be alright.” But the very best song on the cd is Have Yourself a Merry, Little Christmas sung by Willis. This is one of the best renditions ever (and just about any well known singer has performed this lovely song written by H. Martin and R. Blane in the ‘40s). It was first introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, which has become more common than the original.

on the Howard Stern, Jimmy Fallon and Mike Huckabee talk shows. For his performance at the Tower, Kreskin will, among other feats, ask that his paycheck be hidden by the audience somewhere in the theatre during the show. If he fails to find it, he will forfeit his fee. Kreskin also offers $1,000,000 to anyone who proves he uses paid, secret assistants in any phase of his presentation to help him perform his mentalist “effects.” Due to the nature of this program, no children under 10 years old will be admitted. Current, new and renewing Tower Circle members are eligible for a special “buy one, get one free” ticket offer and are invited to a private post-show reception with Kreskin. 541-317-0700 or TowerTheatre.org Photo courtesy of Tower Theatre

he world’s foremost mentalist, the Amazing Kreskin, brings five decades of dramatic and often stunning mind reading to Bend in a special matinee performance Sunday, December 8, at the Tower Theatre. “Kreskin tells people things about themselves that only they or a close friend would know,” promises the Tower’s executive director, Ray Solley. “As he says of himself, ‘Even now, I know what you’re thinking!’” With a showman’s flair, a comedian’s wit and the credentials of a bona fide thought reader, Kreskin’s very name has become part of pop culture worldwide. Tom Hanks’s film The Great Buck Howard was fashioned after Kreskin’s life. Regarding the CBS series, David Letterman quipped, “Kreskin should sue the producers of the TV show The Mentalist for stealing his act. He’s the best mentalist in the world and he’s not acting!” Kreskin was the “magician” on whom The Amazing Kreskin Johnny Carson modeled Carnac the Magnificent. More recently, Kreskin has been seen

Sisters Folk Festival Announces Winter Concert Series

isters Folk Festival continues its tradition of brightening up cold winter nights with an eclectic lineup of performers in the festival’s 2014 Winter Concert Series.

On Thursday, January 9, The California Honeydrops will return to Sisters after a rousing 2013 festival appearance. The Honeydrops’ music speaks not just to the heart and soul, but also to the body — you have no choice but to dance. Drawing heavily on Southern soul and Bay Area R&B with a twist of New Orleans second-line street music, the Honeydrops defy genres. Their style may not have a name, but one thing is certain: The California Honeydrops don’t just play music; they throw parties. On Saturday, March 1, the incomparable Willy Porter will bring his inventive guitar-playing, passionate songwriting and entertaining stageshow back to Sisters. Porter continues to amaze with heavy guitar-driven instrumentals, heartfelt and insightful lyrics and absolute humor in his loop-effect stories about the underbelly of society. March 18 will bring the return of Welsh singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph. A favorite of both the festival and the 2012 winter concerts, Jo-

seph is stateside and will return to Sisters with a collection of new songs. Considered a “courageous” live entertainer, Martyn follows in the tradition of social protest and commentary with intimate portrayals of the human condition. His songs reflect a 30-year career with 31 albums and thousands of live performances. To conclude the series, on Saturday, March 29, the festival will present a multi-media performance by the Celtic super-group, Solas. “Irish-America’s most influential band,” according to NPR, will perform as they celebrate the release of Shamrock City, their 11th album and most ambitious project and live show to date. It is a family story of immigration, mining and murder, and the remarkable history of Michael Conway and Butte, Montana, what Kim Ruehl, of FolkAlley.com, calls “a deeply thoughtful, imaginative collection of songs which grapple with the wealth of ideas and emotions inherent in the immigrant journey.” The Sisters Folk Festival Winter Concert Series package is $75 for all four shows for adults, $40 for students. Individual tickets are $20 advance/$25 at the door, except Solas, which is $30 advance/$35 at the door, www.sistersfolkfestival.org, 541-549-4979. Tickets will also be for sale at Paulina Springs Books in Sisters and Redmond.

New Perspective For December by Eileen Lock

ecember is about optimism and having enough faith to live your life in a new way. The New Moon on the 2nd invites us to be open to a greater reality and to begin taking steps that reflect this. Speaking your truth may feel necessary on the 6th and you will see later that you are the one who needs to hear this most. After the 7th we begin a new learning experience about how we behave in relationships. This shift will continue until the end of July so it’s important to be aware of how significant it is. The lesson is to learn to be you while in the company of many people who are all going through change. It will be important that you know your part and stay focused on that. Opportunities are plentiful on the 12th and they may ask you to make a decision right away. Be honest about what you know and let the changes happen. Listen to yourself on the 16th because you will be saying very important words. The Full Moon on the 17th is a time to celebrate that you have the ability to change your life. Be grateful for what you have learned. The Winter Solstice on the 21st marks a point where we begin to realize the lessons and make promises to ourselves. Ask for what you want on the 24th and be ready for big changes to follow. Let the 25th be a turning point where you bring new behaviors to all of your relationships. Realize how different it is when you let your heart be open to love. Unexpected communication on the 29th may be followed by a change of plans the next day. Be honest about what you know you need to do and take the necessary steps. Relationships will invite you to welcome the support of others on the 30th and let yourself feel loved. Step away from what is behind you and stay focused on a new feeling. Look at yourself in the mirror on the 31st and make the statement that represents your truth. Challenge yourself to live your love in a way that always reflects this. Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock Clairvoyant Astrologer, 541-389-1159, www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com.
