 Art du Jour student art show entry… Art du Jour Gallery, 213 E. Main Street in Medford eagerly anticipates a return of Charity Hubbard’s student art exhibit in June, which became a major downtown event for our small gallery last year. Due to the popular nature of this exhibit we will hold back from providing musical entertainment for our June Third Friday celebration, primarily for space and noise considerations. The “People’s Choice” photography contest has gone off as planned and a big thanks to all who stopped by our gallery during Art in Bloom to vote on their favorite artwork. The exhibit remains on display and the results will be announced at the end of May and posted on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ArtduJourGallery). Featured Guest Artist Charity Hubbard in Salon June and JulyFrequently painting from life on location “en plein air” and people from life is important to Charity Hubbard. She feels that the regular exercise of painting from life enables her to better capture life, light and a truer sense of atmosphere, even when painting from life is not possible. “It is a joy to find inspiration in the challenge of capturing life as it happens, attempting to be true to the mood and nature of what is in front of me.” Charity states on her website. “Each moment is a gift and a place in time that will never happen again, it’s a privilege to persevere in portraying the spirit of a moment in visual expression to the best of my ability.” With a background in commercial art for Pixel Productions Inc., a commercial art and design company, she is trained in perspective and drafting, has illustrated by commission for architects and builders, rendering technical yet artistic architectural illustrations in a variety of mediums. Her enjoyment of architectural elements is reflected in many of her paintings as well. Current art pursuits gravitate towards fine art oil paintings of people, landscape and architecture and teaching. She is also a member of Southern Oregon Society of Artists. For more information on this artist go to her website at: www.charityhubbard.com Student Art Show on Featured Wall Art du Jour student art show entry… This is Charity’s 11th year of offering small classes that take a classical approach to art. She has taught in conference workshops and currently offers classes to youth ages 10 and up, teens and adults, rotating in subjects of study. Her classes are small, 6-10 students each, taught with the aid of an intern assistant, allowing for much individual instruction from Charity. She also offers a more intensive program where student interns can study with her for 16-18 hours a week and earn a certificate with completion of the program.  Art du Jour student art show entry… Last years’ student art show on Third Friday was the largest turnout AdJ has seen, with all indications that the reception this year could be just as popular. We invite the community to stop by on June 21st for the event, or throughout the month during regular gallery hours to see what these gifted students are producing.

Creating artwork through the use of color, texture and composition. While I have always been interested in art, a book on dyeing silk captured my attention during the 1980’s. I started learning about using colors to create excitement. Later a small watercolor captured my imagination. I was fascinated; thus watercolor painting became my next focus.

Guest Artist Marianne Nielsen
With a passion for watercolor, Marianne Nielsen say it is her favorite media because of its versatility regarding techniques and textures. While enjoying all styles and subjects, her inspiration comes from all things in nature, especially animals and flowers. After 5 years learning from the late Marshal McDaniels, he literally changed the way she looks at everyday things like clouds, trees, water and life. Soon after she became a watercolor instructor herself with 6 to 8 students, which has since grown to 4 weekly classes with more than 50 students. Since 2007, many of her students have also gone on to become teachers themselves as well as having their work in local galleries. Marianne is a former Art du Jour member and active participant with the Watercolor Society of Oregon. She also gives workshops in Grants Pass, as well as recent workshop in Tucson, Arizona. She has shown and sold artwork at 7 Feathers Hotel and Casino Resort, and is currently a member of the Grants Pass Museum of Art. She has also been showing work at Gallery One in Grants Pass and will be their featured in July. Marianne’s website is: www.nielsenwatercolors.com. Featured Artist Marilyn Zupan Church Lane by Marylin Zupan. Digital image provided by the artist 3/2019 Marilyn Zupan has always had a deep love for England’s gentle country landscapes and rustic stone homes and bridges. Her father was English and she spent three years in England falling in love with her ancestral land. “Being able to recreate those memories in watercolor is pure joy.”, she writes. Having taught calligraphy in the Rogue Valley for more than 20 years, Marilyn began taking watercolor classes in 2009 and has been painting ever since. In 2011 Marilyn was juried into the Watercolor Society of Oregon. As an added attraction to our featured wall, Marilyn will be teaming up with potter Susan Paul Williams for the entire month of April.  Pottery by Susan Paul-Williams.

After attending school in Central Point and Medford High School, she went on to earn two bachelor degrees from Southern Oregon College and the University of Oregon. Now retired after teaching art in public schools for more than 30 years, her inspiration for this month’s featured exhibit comes from watching workers and their machinery toiling around her neighborhood. The results offer a vehicle for expression of color, shape and texture from her unique perspective.  Mary Jo Heath “Blue Collar” exhibit.

While Carl Seyboldt specializes in painting and drawing wildlife, western scenes and historical subject matter, rarely does he have an opportunity to display illustrations that his advanced art students through Rogue Community College can recognize. A group of mystical castles with surrounding caricature serves as a model toward understanding perspective in a two-dimensional drawing. These gems are rarely seen in the public arena since most art shows he participates in are geared toward western artists. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Carl’s exquisite artwork.

Upcoming in February 2019: Art du Jour Gallery, 213 E. Main Street in Medford will be exhibiting the fine art paintings of Carl Seybodt as guest artist in the Salon through February and March, while AdJ member Roy Musitelli will be featured artist. (www.facebook.com/ArtduJourGallery). Guest Artist Carl Seyboldt
Carl Seyboldt is one of those people who knows that, while nothing is easy, and nothing is free, nothing is impossible either. A free-lance illustrator, fine artist and adjunct professor at Rogue Community College. Carl both teaches and uses what he learned at Art Center, now in Pasadena, California and through his life experiences to fashion not just his own profession, but to help students plan theirs as well. He strives always to keep current on the cutting edge of the field. Carl specializes in painting and drawing wildlife, western scenes and historical subject matter. He has completed a series of limited edition prints of the famous Wells Fargo Stagecoach line. He has received a number of awards, including the Sid Burns Artist Award several times. He has worked as a professional illustrator as well as an illustrator during his career in the Army. Carl and his wife Sharon of 48 years live on a 21-acre ranch near Eagle Point, Oregon. Featured Artist Roy Musitelli The Potter’s Hands by Roy Musitelli. Image provided by the artist After spending most of his adult life documenting life through the lens of a camera as a newspaper photographer, Roy Musitelli returned to school where he rediscovered his passion for drawing. One of his first courses at Rogue Community College was a basic drawing class taught by Carl Seyboldt, who’s influence led him to enroll in several more of his classes while pursuing a graphic design degree. ” I knew right away that graphic design wasn’t really my thing”, he writes. “Carl helped me see that illustration is where my heart had been leading me all along and that there was plenty yet to be learned. It’s a profound honor to be sharing this exhibit space with someone who I deeply respect.”  Shrouded Beacon by Roy Musitelli. Image provided by the artist A member of AdJ since 2016, Roy’s foundation in journalism keeps him in touch with the news of our day which is often reflected in his artwork. In an effort to shed the photographer-turned-artist label for at least one month, Roy’s featured wall exhibit will be dedicated entirely to illustrations that have come from his drawing board of ideas.
