And speaking of hairy manzanita, a.k.a. Arctostaphylos columbiana, we are selling a relatively new form named ‘Pacific Coast’. It was collected from seed found in the sandy soil near the much-missed CARTM. Talk about native!

‘Pacific Coast’ manzanita is a more compact form of the ubiquitous local species with its deliciously dark mahogany bark. To keep it happy, all you need is full sun, fast-draining (read: sandy) soil and absolutely no irrigation.

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP), which advocates to protect our local drinking watersheds, is excited to announce an upcoming talk with economist Ernie Niemi,“The Truth about the Economics of Logging” Online Event. The event will take place online via Zoom on September 13 at 6:30 p.m. PT.
Here is the LINK TO REGISTER or at www.healthywatershed.org

For 40 years, Niemi has documented the external costs of timber production in the Pacific Northwest, with a special focus on timber workers, their families and their communities. He will speak with NCCWP about the realities of the economics of the logging industry as it currently stands, and realistic economic ways forward for our community that are not extractive and destructive. Neimi will explain why logging is no longer an economic growth factor for our communities—in fact it actually jeopardizes the real economic drivers on the coast, which are quality of life (clean air and water) and recreation in our beautiful forests, beaches and rivers. Niemi’s talk will address the need for economic considerations of climate change and the biodiversity crisis, and provide tips for speaking up about the value of our forests.

NCCWP is a grassroots group of concerned citizens advocating for no more logging, no more chemical spraying near our coastal drinking watersheds, regardless of land ownership (you can sign our petition (petitions.sumofus.org/p/healthywatershed) We are excited to host this event, which will help dispel some of the common myths about logging and the local economy, and provide insight on why it’s time to protect the great Pacific Northwest temperate rainforests from being used as money-makers for the corporate timber industry.

We look forward to seeing you on September 13 at 6:30pm on Zoom! LINK TO REGISTER or at www.healthwatershed.org.

Cannon Beach, Oregon – Smithsonian’s Annual Museum Day is usually celebrated by offering free admission like the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington DC-based museums. So, what can the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum do to celebrate when admission is always free? Offer up a family-friendly fun day of trivia, of course. Join us Saturday, September 17, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. as we honor the Smithsonian Magazine’s Annual Museum Day, a nation-wide celebration of boundless curiosity.

Offering free admission on Museum Day represents a national movement to increase access, equity and inclusion. We are proud of the fact that Cannon Beach History Center & Museum offers donation-based admission every day. This allows everyone to explore our museum regardless of ability to pay. But as an extra bonus, to honor the spirit of the day, we are bringing back our popular trivia contest event. This is a great way to bond and maybe even win a prize.

The contest works like this. Each competitor can play once for free and can purchase a trivia card for $2 each thereafter. Each card contains ten questions that must be answered while in the Museum. No cell phone or internet searches are allowed! The correct answers to all ten questions are contained within the museum’s exhibits and displays. Can’t find the answer? Ask a staff member who will point you in the right direction. Honestly, you can’t lose, but you can only win once. The Museum will offer brain food in the form of Sleepy Monk coffee and a few light snacks. Writing materials and writing stations are provided throughout the museum.

The museum will be showcasing two temporary exhibits – Shipwrecks of the Oregon Coast and the Pacific Northwest Dirt Fishing exhibit. Our permanent exhibits feature a Native American Longhouse replica, the history of Cannon Beach, and the original cannon that gave Cannon Beach its name.

Got full sun, good soil and DEER? Meet the slender monkey flower, Diplacus grandiflorus, as distasteful to deer as it is irresistible to gardeners.

Of course maybe you have enough undemanding plants that bloom May through August with soft apricot flowers that come back by the boatload every year.

Yeah, you probably do. Sigh.

Botanical Drawing: Fall Treasures
Current registered participants can view prior recorded demonstrations and Zoom sessions at Hoff-Online

The online seminar will be a mix of presentation, demonstration, and drawing alongside the instructor. We will share the PDF presentation and the video recorded from the workshop with participants on Hoff-Online. Current participants will have access to prior 2022 online class materials and videos during the month they are registered for a class.

Fall is the season of warm and vibrant colors and unusual patterns on leaves. In this workshop, we will capture the changing colors of the season and various patterns by drawing fall foliage. We will work with color pencils and focus on blending various colors as well as depicting veins on leaves. The workshop will include a presentation of Dorota’s botanical drawings of fall foliage, step-by-step examples, a demonstration of how to approach drawing from observation and various colored pencils techniques, and a time to draw together. Feel free to work in your sketchbook, toned paper, or any surface of your choice. Although drawing in realistic form will be the focus, individual styles will be encouraged and celebrated.

MATERIALS: Gather a few samples of fall foliage or other early fall plants. It is preferred to use live specimens overworking
from photographs.

The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita
will offer Beginning Plein Air Landscape Painting
a 4-day painting workshop

This will be a beginning painting workshop focused on painting the coastal landscape from direct observation, our own experience in the open air. Nothing is quite as exhilarating as meeting our experience with our eyes and hands in paint on a small rectangle. It is also quite complex, so some guidance is a good idea. We will learn about the materials and gear (paints, brushes, palette, and the plein air easel). Also, importantly: composition, color, paint mixing and handling, palette management, and the stages of building up a painting.

With this workshop you will have a firm foundation in the essentials of painting, and of painting the landscape en plein air. Plein air is simply French for “outdoors,” literally “full air” or “in the open air.” It has recently been taken to be a style. I don’t see it as a style. I don’t actually care about styles. I do care about authenticity. Each painter paints as they see and feel. The more comfortable they become with the materials and their process, the more freely their feeling and vision can show up in their paintings. And that’s magic.

Jef Gunn was born in Seattle in 1955 and grew up along the West Coast from Puget Sound to southern California to Hawaii. He studied drawing and painting in California through the 1970s, held residencies in Barcelona and Paris in the 1980s, and since the mid 1990s has engaged in a passionate study of Asian art. In 2005, Gunn completed a BFA in painting from Marylhurst University. He lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where he teaches painting workshops at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and through First Light Studio, his own Portland-based studio.

With a balance of humor, broad knowledge, and helpful insight, he is able to draw from each student her or his own natural way to paint, while bringing to bear practical instruction through historical examples, especially of the Modern period. A complete materials list will be sent to students when they register.
