Featured Artist Wall – July 2022 Marianne Nielsen
Painting is my therapy, my passion, and my love. I find inspiration and motivation from all things in nature, especially animals. I started taking lessons and learned to paint watercolor in 2002. I have been completely hooked on the media because it offers so much variety and flexibility regarding textures and techniques and is never boring.
My first instructor for 5+ years was the late Marshal McDaniels. He was a huge inspira- tion to me and literally changed my life for the better. I am also an avid book collector from other artists and love to study their approaches and techniques to watercolor. As a result, I have become a watercolor instructor myself in Grants Pass, OR since 2007.
Watercolor is a media that allows me to constantly reinvent and challenge myself. It is a thrill when I can successfully apply a new technique or process to my work.

Art du Jour Gallery – November 2021
In November, the Art du Jour Gallery presents a show featuring the favorite artwork from the Gallery artists. The Salon features paintings from guest artist Andre Satie.
November 1 – November 30, 2021 Favorite Art
In November, the Art du Jour Gallery will present a show of the Gallery artists’ favorite works. Here are selections from Dixie Kinser and Doug Staples.
Dixie Kinser
“My friend, Dodie Hamilton, and I were on an Egyptian tour when the revolution broke out. It was known as Arab Spring. Wars started in Syria as well as Egypt. From our room, we could see protesters trying to cross the Nile and being pushed back with tear gas by armed soldiers defending the bridge. Protesters picked up the canisters and threw them in the Nile. We could smell the gas in our room. We were evacuated the next day.”
Doug Staples
“’The End of Democracy’ is my favorite artwork because it shows the fragility of our democracy and the frustration and terror associated with the overthrow of a govern- ment. I painted this right after the January 6th assault on our Capitol.”
October 1 – November 31, 2021 Salon Artist Andre Satie
“Shining Mountains II,” by Andre Satie
“I grew up in my dad’s sign shop in the days of hand-lettered signage, and to this day, there are few aromas that I love more than the smell of ‘turps’. My first competition gained a First Place in oil and Best of Show. A few months later, a tiny 2″ silver sculpture mounted on a block of wood took Second Place in sculpture at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Feeling validated, I took the plunge onto the road marked Artist and never looked back.
“Today, after some 60 years of plying the brush, my happy place is still in the studio. The work of my heart has found collectors, personal and corporate, in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Ger- many, Norway, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico…. and who knows where else my paintings have land- ed over time.”
