Denny Jones
for 30 years. She taught oil
painting classes, and her
work was seen around town
and at the Vancouver Farm-
ers Market. Her academic
art training taught Bosch to
paint with oil and acrylic on
canvas.
After buying 10 old
windows at a garage sale,
Bosch added them to her
painting materials. She was
known for her paintings on
windowpanes. Her subjects
were varied, with old barn
scenes, vineyards, land-
scapes and fruit still life
selling fast.
Bosch moved to the
Long Beach Peninsula in
2014. Last summer her work
was exhibited in The Cove
Restaurant, a show that
introduced Bosch to a new
art-loving public. Her bold
colors and happy subjects
brightened our summer.
Bay Avenue Gallery has
been an art place for Bosch
for the past two years. Two
days each week she works
in our studio. She has added
clay sculpting to her artistic
skills. Her work has been
for sale in the gallery (her
garden flowers and cell
phone holders are her most
popular).

From the late Old
English elh, eolh or elch.
A cognate with the Middle
High German elch, all from
the Proto-Germanic elkh-,
which related to both “deer”
as well as a reddish color.
Around the late 15th cen-
tury the consonant H was
replaced with a K, forming
the modern spelling. The
term wapiti is an Ameri-
canization of the Shawnee
Indian word, waapiti,
which was first recorded in
1806 and means “white,”
referring to the white rump
of the beast. In Britain,
the term “elk” actually
refers to a moose and was
improperly applied to the
North American animal by
European settlers.
“Warrenton isn’t Gear-
hart, where elk are the bane
of a golf course, a protec-
tive mother elk once men-
aced beachgoers and people
have reported being stuck in
their homes or threatened in
the streets.
But some locals believe
the Warrenton herd is turn-
ing into a similar prob-
lem, growing in size and
becoming too comfortable
in town. They worry about
damage to property and
safety on the road.”

All community members

play a game and meet Elks
