16 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Continued from Page 9 Paul Brent Pop-Up Studio and Gallery 608 Broadway St. Paul Brent, sponsored by the Gilbert Block Building, is an artist whose work has become internationally known to represent the coastal lifestyle. From his watercolors to his recent oil paintings, he captures na- ture in its best and most idyllic form. While best known for his beach sub- jects, he has painted landscapes that are equally indicative of his talent to recreate all aspects of nature. Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway St. Opening reception for “Shadows,” an exhibition that focuses on the inter- play of light and dark through select- ed art that expresses time as the fall season progresses. New artwork by Northwest artists Diane Copenhaver, Gregory Bell, Janet Hickox, Lisa Wiser, Whelsey Whelp, Tamara Johnson and Marga Stanley will be featured. “As I contemplated the subject of ‘Shadows,’ I found inspiration in a variety of perspectives around the The Illahee “Rest Area” by Scott Johnson SUBMITTED PHOTOS A piece at SunRose Gallery idea of shadow; shadow as opposite, refl ection, repetition, companion, or as enabled by light,” Copenhaver said. “I have expressed “Shadows” through a variety of works, bold and expressive, muted and gentle, solid and soft edges, and layers of dark and light. I am naturally moved to create a sense of mystery in my painting and hope that my work for “Shadows” pro- Apartments vides the space to engage and create a personal story and interpretation of shadow.” Seaside and Gearhart naturalist Neal Maine will speak at 6 p.m. about the ecology of the local habitat. Music by Shirley 88, and special guest of honor will be “Flynn,” an American kestrel, from the Wildlife Center of the North Coast. Open 7am Daily!

Becoming an artist takes skill, time and talent. Becoming a successful artist is not easy (downright diffi cult, some will tell you). However, despite its diffi culty, art is a calling, and few who venture into the world of artistic expression regret it. Being creative is hard work, but enormously rewarding. To the artist and their patrons, art is a win-win proposition; everyone wins when an artist shares their artistic expression with others. In pursuit of this goal, artists put creative thoughts and imagery onto canvases, paper, glass, metal, pot- tery and a multitude of other media for others to enjoy. This month the gallery is highlighting two women artists who have done the hard work and are ready to take a well-earned step forward in their artistic careers. Dough Dough Bakery 8 North Holladay Drive Artistic chef Jonathan Hoff man has his fi ngers in many pies; he is an “Lost Light” entrepreneur who works with local farmers, anglers and foragers to use the freshest ingredients in his culi- nary fares. Dough Dough features an encore exhibit from artist Scott Colin Johnson, whose art is rooted in the study of en plein air (open air) painting. T.anjuli Gallery 7 North Holladay Drive Artist Billy Lutz is the gallery owner/resident artist/Seaside philosopher, whose body of work spans a career of 30 years of mature thematic art of the resistance painting. Artist’s statement: There are two modern forms of governance in American culture: the conserva- tive, Strict Father model and the progressive Nurturing Parent model. The fi rst prescribes an individualist authority instructing one how to behave — “we know what’s best for you, so do what you are told” — while the other model prescribes consensus and collective thinking — “let’s discuss our problems and arrive at compromise.” Moxie Shine 609 Broadway St. Moxie is a unique and conscientious business fi lled with the eclectic from exclusive jewelry and art where everything is handmade. Illustrious and innovative, Moxie is an altruistic institution of signifi cant change in the world of business. An established member of the Fair Trade Federation, Moxie demonstrates a genial and equitable approach to conducting business.
