I’ll be teaching a painting class intensive in October… 4 classes in two weeks. Topics will include composition, drawing, color, tone/value, edges, brushwork and palette knife work. The building blocks of a successful painting!
I’ll be using oils and demonstrating in that medium. If you prefer, you can use acrylics or gouache. Each class will have a short lecture to start and then you’ll put those principles into action as you work on your individual painting. Some art history will also be part of the class, as I focus on a particular artist that was a master of our ‘topic of the day’.
The class will be in Garibaldi Oregon. We’ll meet October 14, 16, 21 & 23… Each Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm. It will be a very small class so lots of time for individual attention.
All levels are welcome. I’m offering two ways to take the class. If you have all your own painting supplies, the cost will be $120 for the entire session. OR, I can provide all oil painting supplies you’ll need and you just bring brushes (and a palette knife if you’d like) for $160 for the session. Tables and chairs are provided, stand if you prefer.
The class has limited spaces. I’m asking for a 50% deposit to secure your spot. The deposit of $60 or $80 (including supplies) can be made via card, check or cash.

Kate (she/they) completed yoga school through Portland’s Bhakti Yoga Movement Center in 2019 and has been practicing since 2009. I continue to learn from the co-owners of the studio, Tara Sonali Miller and Zeyah Rogé. I appreciate being able to offer classes that help foster connection to breath and inner landscapes, supporting life off the mat, through slower practices such as pranayama, restorative and gentle yoga.
Lots of other artists on display too – including Pam Greene, Janie Lowe, Chayo Wilson, Barry Calvarese, Amanda Houston, Aremy Stewart, Christa Grimm, Robert Sumner, Erika Warhus, Greg Goolsby, Ben Rosenberg, and more
– as well as a variety of small batch goods from near and far and of course plants.

For several years, the symphony performed regularly at St. Catherine until it outgrew the venue. Because musicians loved playing at the church, with its wonderful acoustics and appreciative audiences, several small groups made up of current and former symphony members have put together a program of chamber music suited for the smaller venue.
Queentet–a string quartet plus clarinet– will play movements from Mozart’s famous clarinet quintet, K 581. A trio of flutes will present two contemporary pieces, one of which, Birds, has movements entitled Birdsong, Flight, and The Journey. The FAB piano trio (violin, cello, piano) will perform the gentle second movement from Mendelssohn’s first piano trio. The Astoria Tuba Quartet will round out the program with a selection of pieces by composers ranging from the baroque-era Buxtehude to the local (Peninsula) Norm Poulshock.
The concert will take place on Saturday, October 4 at St. Catherine Episcopal Church (36335 N. Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR ) beginning at 3 pm.
There will be no fee for admission, but donations are encouraged.
