is called <So It Went For the
Duck.= It is a four-foot-tall
juniper slab inscribed with
wildlife of all sorts. The duck
is somewhere 3 yes 3 peek-
ing out from behind a gnarly
branch. Look closely and
you may even spot Waldo,
of <Where9s Waldo= fame,
among the collection of
ravens, raccoons, and &?
J a c k s o n 9s
photo-
graph, <Sunrise Before the
Storm,= is a shot from the
Enchantments, in the Alpine
Lakes Wilderness in the
Stuart Range, about 15
miles from Leavenworth,
Washington. It9s an area of
lakes and tarns and jagged
peaks, the most prominent
being Prusik Peak, which
Jackson captured in his shot.
The range is sometimes
regarded as one of the most
spectacular in the Washington
Cascades. Taken during a
four-day wilderness camping
trip, Jackson9s photograph
depicts a lake surrounded by
sharp peaks just as the sun
is cracking over the hori-
zon. Rocks in the foreground
frame the lake, which reflects
the color of the rising sun.
<Twenty-four hours later,=
Jackson said, <there was eight
inches of snow
at the same
spot.=

Austin Jackson’s “Sunrise Before the Storm” drew the attention of People’s Choice voters.
Chamberlain9s winning
painting, <Not A Single
Leaf,= depicts a small grove
of aspens in very late fall,
barren of every branch. The
painting is positioned off-
center in a large rustic metal
frame that the artist <found
for three dollars at a Bend
High School yard sale.=
<The painting was three
times this size, but I cut it
down to fit into this frame,=
Chamberlain said.
Like Jackson9s photo-
graph, Chamberlain9s paint-
ing depicts a landscape
waiting for the season9s first
snow to cover the tailings
of a stormy fall. The frame
accentuates the mood.
The Art Committee of the
Friends of Sisters Library
(FOSL) organizes the annual
exhibit. This year, the exhibit
includes 148 pieces of two-
and three-dimensional art,
by 68 artists. More than a
hundred people dropped by
on Friday night for the recep-
tion, to view the art, cast their
ballots, and visit with the
artists.
This is the seventh year for
the People9s Choice Award,
said Zeta Seiple, chair of the
Friends of Sisters Library Art
Committee. Before announc-
ing the winners, she thanked
the many artists who partici-
pate in the show each year,
and the many who visited the
library in the past three weeks
to vote and the Renaissance
Sisters, a chamber group led
by Lola Knox, who provide
an elegant musical backdrop.
The exhibit contin-
ues through February 22.
Some of the two- and
Twenty-four hours
later there was
eight inches of snow
at the same spot.
