August 2 - August 31, 2013 Bill Sharp: Urban Observations
You are invited to the reception for the artist
Friday, August 2nd, 5 to 8 PM
I try to pay attention to things that are easily overlooked.
In particular, everyday items and places that were designed for utility, that
create a scene of accidental beauty that I’m compelled to study once I've
slowed down enough to notice.

PS!! ---A special message from Brenda Boylan:
Thursday evening at the Oregon Society of Artists I will be sharing my photos and giving a small recap on my trip to Plein Air Easton. I was originally scheduled to do a demo but my tripod is en route and can't work without it. I will be giving a small critique for those present at 6:00 and then will present my slide show at 7:00 this Thursday (August 1). I hope to give an insiders view of the challenges and adventures of traveling (and competing) plein air. Perhaps a bit entertaining too!
All my best, Brenda
