About the author:
Hello there artist friends,
Now that summer is coming to an end, here’s a chance to sharpen your painting skills and enjoy the remaining warmth before Fall and Winter set in. Hosted by the Rogue Gallery, a workshop in plein air painting is being offered for beginners to advanced artists who would like to learn more about atmospheric perspective, how light effects color, and how to compare values for accuracy. We will be painting Table Rock and Rogue River at a location near Tou Velle Park in Medford on Sat, Sept 23 from 10am -4pm. I promise a fun and informative time for all… join us if you can ;)
Also coming up is a plein air workshop hosted by The Lassen Art Center in Shingletown, CA. This location is at the base of Lassen National Park which is a great place to visit during the Fall season for sight seeing, hiking, and just relaxing.The date is set for Oct 21 &22, and if weather permits painting will be conducted outdoors to capture the Fall scenery. In case of rain we can paint indoors while looking out at the lovely grounds of the center.
I know for many of you in the Rogue Valley it’s been one long, smoky summer. Personally I was unable to get out to paint on location as much as I would’ve liked so now that the smoke has cleared I’m planning on making up for lost opportunities. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to join either of these workshops or would like to set up a private session or two.
Wishing you well,
silvia

New Exhibit at the Rogue Gallery
 Over Under Sideways, by Carl Vince  Grandfather’s House, by Susan Lehman
Abstract Perceptions: Paintings by Vince Carl and Susan Lehman
Exhibit date: August 11 – September 22, 2017, Reception Date: August 18 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm
Rogue River artist Vince Carl and Bandon artist Susan Lehman are lifelong artists. Carl earned a BFA from Miami University and continued studying with Mitch Kaufman-Katz and Pat Enos. Lehman studied fine art and textiles at California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and graduated with Distinction. Their abstract paintings are evocative of varied experiences and places with richly textured surfaces created with techniques honed over a lifetime.
Vince Carl uses color, line, and texture to express his experiences, feelings, and memories in his large abstract painting. He paints by applying thin layer of acrylic paint that he sands and scratches into and then applies another layer of paint. He does this multiple times to develop layers that are rich in color and texture.
As an abstract artist, Susan Lehman appreciates the “impression of the light, the nuances of the mood, or the expression of the experience of the place rather than the recreation of the image of that place.” Her work includes handmade paper, layers of acrylic paint, acrylic molding paste, lace, and silk fabric. She works intuitively allowing the work to emerge through her process.
An exhibit reception will be held on Friday, August 18, 5:00 – 8:00 pm. Wine and food provided by Harry and David will be served.
The Rogue Gallery & Art Center is a non-profit community art center, founded in 1960 to promote and support the arts in the Rogue Valley. The center exhibits a wide range of artistic styles and mediums from local and national artists. Programming includes art educational opportunities for children and adults.

The Rogue Gallery & Art Center will have a reception for two exhibits for Downtown Medford’s Third Friday Artwalk
 Assemblage by Leona Keene Sewitsky Main Gallery exhibit
Scenes from the Unconscious: Micah Ofstedahl & Leona Sewitsky
June 23 – August 4, 2017, Reception: Friday, July 21, 5-8pm
Ashland artist Micah Ofstedahl combines the conscious observations of science with the subconscious imagination of the mind in his surrealistic acrylic paintings. Jacksonville artist Leona Keene Sewitsky explores the unconscious mind in playful, dreamlike, and mysterious sculptures created from recycled objects and papier maché.
Micah Ofstedahl was born and raised in Austin, Minnesota and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture and ceramics from Minnesota State University. Micah describes his work as an exploration of the unknown and the importance of its relationship to scientific and human advancement. Micah states, “I am constantly being amazed by the hidden beauty and complexity of the world and this is largely what I hope to convey to my audience.”
Leona Keene Sewitsky resides in Jacksonville and has been creating artwork out of recycled objects and paper mache for eleven years. She enjoys the challenge of assembling mismatched items, sculpting and painting paperclay heads, and creating a carnival of characters. Exploring the unconscious dream state of the mind in sculptures and assemblages, Leona creates original artwork that is humorous, familiar, and sometimes other worldly.
 “Through All Things,” Micah Ofstedahl
Sponsored by Rogue Gallery & Art Center Board of Directors
