Artist Ellen Gabehart Musical Watercolors "I want to paint not just the musicians, but the music," says local artist Ellen Gabehart. She began by sketching strolling musicians at the Renaissance Fair in Marin County about nine years ago and then moved to sketching rock bands in L.A. She came to Oregon in 1975 and began painting rock and roll musicians in Gold Beach that year. Ten or twelve of Gabehart’s musician series watercolors were exhibited last spring at the WOW Hall. Altogether, she's had four show ings of them. This spring she will exhibit her new musical paintings at the WOW Hall and at the Roseburg Art Center; this series contains portraits of classical musicians for the first time. For Gabehart,music and the visual arts are very close to one another. She records what she sees and hears in her paintings; harmony and rhythm take on form and color. "Music stimulates my vision," Gabehart says, "as if the notes of the music correlated to 'notes' of color." Each piece she does is specific to the performance she sees; she'd use a different color or another form to describe the same group or individual artist another time, she says. "Being in my studio and just painting; that's my idea of heaven," says Gabehart. "I just wish I could do that and nothing else." But no matter how much she wants painting to be her major activity, in reality she finds much of her time is spent teaching and going to crafts fairs and galleries. She finishes work at the Old Oregon Christmas Fair Christmas Eve, opens a show at the First Presbyterian Church Jan 4, and begins teaching Fine Arts for Children (ages 4-6) and Basic Art (ages 7-12) at Maude Kerns Art Center every Saturday through the winter. Her watercolors are displayed in Depoe Bay, Newport, Sunriver, Corvallis, Gold Beach, and Brookings art galleries. Each summer she teaches creative watercolor workshops and classes in coast towns like Coos Bay, Reedsport, Bandon and Port Orford. Watercolors seem the right medium for Ellen Gabehart, although she points out that she is proficient in oils and all other art mediums. But it is the very unpredictable nature of watercolors that she likes. "You must be the kind of person who can allow accidents to happen," Gabehart admits. "You must not always be in control of the medium," she says, "you must let the medium con trol you sometimes." Her spontaneous and flowing personality is reflected in the medium she has chosen, and her works are alive and happy as a result. —Lois Wadsworth Monday 3 Meetings Citizens Action for Lasting Security (CALS) holds an organizing meeting at Growers Market Building at 7:30 pm.
