Hillsbery to offer free
watercolor demonstration
Once a year, nationally
known watercolor artist Carole
Hillsbery invites the commu-
nity to her Florence Creekside
Studio to learn about the mag-
ical art of watercolor.
For those who have won-
dered what it would like to
play with watercolor but don’t
know the first thing about it or
what materials to buy, this
informative demonstration
will help.
The class will be held
Monday, June 19, from 1 to
2:30 p.m.
Hillsbery has a passion for
bright beautiful color and
loves to splash, splatter,
scrape, pour and move paint
on her paper or canvas and
those who choose to sit in
front might even wear a splash
or two of her paints by the end
of the demo.
Such jubilation is at the core
of Hillsbery’s artistry and she
loves nothing better than to
infect and share this joy with
her students.
During this free demonstra-
tion and class, Hillsbery will
paint a fun loose watercolor
showing the various tech-
niques and bright colors she
uses.
She will also discuss the
basics of getting started: what
materials to purchase and
where, what watercolor is all
about, terminology, color
washes, color mixing and
more.
This demo is not geared for
more experiended artists.

Oregon Coast Military Museum to celebrate the Jeep
To celebrate the birth of the
iconic jeep vehicle from World
War II, Oregon Coast Military
Museum (OCMM) is hosting a
jeep-only show and shine
Saturday, June 17, at Johnston
Motor Co. on Highway 101 in
Florence.
The show will be from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. and is open to
any military jeep, vintage CJ
through current model of
Wrangler.
“Of all the transportation
advancements coming out of
WWII, the legendary Jeep has
probably made more impact on
society because it is still being
produced 76 years later, and
not just here in the United
States but in other countries
around the world,” said
OCMM Executive Director Cal
Applebee. “This show is
intended to not just celebrate
its creation, but also celebrate
the icon that is today.”
More than 20 Jeeps consist-
ing of restored military jeeps,
vintage CJs and new Wranglers
are expected.
“With this being the first
year of this event, we don’t
know exactly how many will
show — probably more than
the
known
two-dozen,”
Applebee predicted.
Jeep owners can register on
site the morning of the event,
and the first 25 registrants will
receive a goodie bag. The show
opens to the public at 10 a.m.,
but participants should plan to
register starting at 9 a.m.
The Florence-Siuslaw Lions
Club will have its food cart on
hand for the event.
“One of the reasons we
wanted to partner with
Johnston Motor Company is
that Ford Motor Company pro-
duced nearly half of the mili-
tary Jeeps during WWII, and
we’ll have some outstanding
restored examples of those on
display throughout the week in
their showroom and at the
event,” said Applebee. “We
invite everyone to bring Dad
out for the show on Saturday as
his treat for Father's Day.”
The event is sponsored by
Banner Bank and Johnston
Motor Company.
For more information, con-
tact Applebee at 541-999-4175
or email cal97439@gmail

OCMM is located at 2145
Kingwood St. in Florence, and
is open to the public Thursday
through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4
p.m.

FRAA holds 3-artist glass show, sale today in Old Town
Four glass artists have joined
together to put on an Art Show
and Sale Saturday, June 10,
from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The venue is the Florence
Regional
Arts
Alliance
(FRAA) Art Center and
Gallery, 120 Maple St. in Old
Town, Florence. A reception
for visitors will be held on
Saturday, from 3 to 6 p.m.
Just who are these four
“glassy ladies” living here in
Florence?
They are Peggy Goodrow,
who works with Stained Glass;
Tina Shoys, who works with
Mosaic
Glass;
Kristin
Anderson, who works with
Fused Glass; and Patti
Williams, who does Lamp-
work.
Peggy Goodrow’s favorite
thing to do with glass is to “use
lots of color and different tex-
tures of glass.”
In addition to being a mem-
ber of Florence Regional Arts
Alliance (FRAA), she is on
the Art Display Committee at
the Siuslaw Library.
Tina Shoys started to do
mosaic work after retirement,
and she sells her art on Etsy, at
local arts and crafts events, and
has sold work in several local
shops. She is also a member of
FRAA.
Kristin Anderson says she-
fell in love with the color and
creativity that comes with cre-
ating glass art.
She has an Etsy store, and
has sold work in galleries,
including FRAA, where she is
president of the board. She is
also a member of Backstreet
Gallery.
Patti Williams, in addition to
painting with watercolors and
oils, creates jewelry which is
“inspired by nature.”
Her method of creating
involves lampworking, which
is a type of glasswork where a
torch or lamp is primarily used
to melt the glass.
Once in a molten state,
the glass is formed by blowing
and shaping with tools and
hand movements.
Williams is a member and
teacher at FRAA, and also
serves on the Gallery Display
Committee at the Florence
Events Center.
