Wednesday, December 21, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 5 Sisters Fourth Friday Art Stroll set for December 23 By Helen Schmidling Correspondent ’Tis two days before Christmas, and Sisters is aglow with lights for last- minute shoppers. Come out early for the Fourth Friday Art Stroll from 4 to 7 p.m. Plan some extra time to enjoy the art stroll, so you can enjoy holiday treats with your friends. Pick up a map in any gallery and begin your adventure. Stop by Studio Redfield to see Susanne Redfield’s hand-painted themed tiles for the Disney outdoor pools at the Old Key West and Port Orleans Resorts. This extra- large project puts Redfield back in touch with Disney, as she worked with them on “new” resort properties back in 1991. Clearwater Gallery will be celebrating the final Red Bow Sales of the sea- son. Artists David Mensing, Amanda Houston, Edie Shelton, Wendy Vernon, Dan Rickards, Mark Davis, Chris Nelson, Randall Tillery, Shirlee Johnson, Janice Druian, Vicki Shuck, Dennis Dame, Jerry Dame, Garth Williams and more offer discounted pricing on their artwork. Hood Avenue Art con- tinues its Small Wonders Exhibit, wherein gallery art- ists share small-format works of all media, for art collec- tors to give the gift of art. Live music will add to the festivities. The Collection Gallery has bronzes and paintings from Gary Cooley. Come in and see the large selection, plus fiber art, photography, woodwork, watercolors and oils. The patina finishes on his sculptures are the result of experimental combinations of chemicals and heat, creating various effects, from realistic to unpredictably exotic. At Sisters Gallery & Frame Shop, watch scratch- board artist Jennifer Hartwig demonstrate her remarkable techniques. There are new acrylic paintings and 2017 calendars by Kimry Jelen. Pick up a hand-knitted hat or scarf from Helen Schmidling as the perfect stocking- stuffer. Check out Annelie Pottery’s knitting bowls (to hold yarn), which are half- priced for the holidays. Ken Scott’s Imagination Gallery will feature his Rose Fire Cauldron and other new creations by Ken. Twigs Home & Garden continues its show by the Central Oregon Textile Artists Collective, featuring local fiber artists and Stitchin’ Post employees. This work is as unique and individual as each artist. Raven Makes Gallery is featuring Jackie Larson Bread, award-winning Blackfoot bead-worker. Jackie’s intricate shading and “painting” with beads is showcased in her complex and beautiful portrait and necklace bags. Sisters Art Works Entry Gallery features photography by Al Krause, from Sisters Rodeo images to beautiful owls. Bigfoot Wellness, at 392 E. Main Ave. continues to feature art by Linda Hanson. Other galleries open for this month’s Art Stroll include Dyrk Godby Gallery, Things Etc., Navigator News, Cha for the Finest, Old West Collectables, The Jewel, Jill Neal Gallery and Sisters Library. Don’t forget to sign up for the December Quick Draw. This month’s drawing is for a $100 gift certificate to The Cottonwood Café, a favorite for breakfast or lunch.
