Shadows ©2008 Linda J.Edwards, Watercolor, 7.5" x11"
I am an award-winning artist who has been living in Corvallis for the past year. I work in a variety of media including watercolor, oils, and prints. I am also an art educator. I taught drawing and painting at community colleges for 24 years in California before relocating to live in CohoEcovillage, a cohousing community in Corvallis. I am currently teaching watercolor and drawing for LinnBenton Community Education in Albany, Corvallis Parks and Rec, and the OSU Craft Center.
I love to paint landscapes outdoors on location. I am a member of Vistas and Vineyards and spent many wonderful hours painting neaby locations with the group this past summer. I was in a 3 person show at the Guistina Gallery at LeSells Stewart at OSU in August where I showed 34 watercolors. I will be showing watercolors at the Albany City Hall in December of 2008. I have work in collections around the world, including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. My work can be seen on my website.
”Shadows” is part of a painting project from Different Strokes from Different Strokes. Artists are invited to paint a weekly painting from a photo by Karin Jurick, which she posts on the site. She then posts all the submissions the following week. This watercolor was inspired by an upside down photo of a walker. We each created our painting upside down and then inverted the final result.

© Rusty van Rossmann "Number 8" acrylic NFS
After 32 years of providing illustrations for Archaeologists I’ve finally decided to admit I’m an artist and do some exploring.
This piece (Number 8) was a breakthrough painting for me and was done under the instruction of Mark Allison. I recall struggling with the use of color in my attempts at figure painting and got the impression Mark didn’t think my realistic renderings were art. I was angry when I painted this piece and tapped into emotion. I overemphasized the figure to express my frustration and caught the shadows representing different aspects of the model. The colors fell into place without me thinking about it and Mark made me stop before I kept messing with it. This piece won best 2d for that year’s Corvallis Community Art Show.
You may want to visit my developing web site to see some of the work I’ve done since starting Van Rossmann Illustration in 1976.

Norma Eaton works primarily in collage, painting her own papers for an inexhaustible variety of colors and textures. She has invented her own vocabulary for the paper textures she has developed.
The paper texture most often seen in her art she calls “smoosh” paper because various colors are “smooshed” together between 2 pieces of paper. These are often seen in the sky and in water.
Her subjects for painting are the beautiful northwest wild places. Every summer she and her husband hike the many natural areas of her home state, Oregon, gaining inspiration for her art. She is a member of the Corvallis Art Guild and a local plein-aire group, “Vistas & Vineyards”.
Her art can be viewed at the Westgate gallery in Philomath, the Corvallis Art Guild online art tour and at various businesses throughout Corvallis.

At his roots, Harold is a photographer that has been lured into the painter’s realm by the digital medium. The graphic quality of his art is the result of his education as a photographic illustrator, a career in advertising photography and the study of art history. His images all start out as photographs and have been digitally altered using historic painting principles. Harold prints his own images with archival inks and paper

Art is my passion, its creation my journey. I began, as most, with crayon or pencil in hand. Developing, honing those skills as my childhood years passed. I enrolled at what was then Boise State Collage as a Liberal Arts Major. The reality of becoming a starving artist surfaced, thus I went to work in the corporate world. There, as management in the computer semiconductor industry, I met and married my husband, and began raising our family. Years passed with little time for self expression as an artist. The early nineties found me wanting—this reawakened my pursuit of art. I am now a full time artist and art instructor with Linn-Benton Community College, among other locations around the state. This gives me the distinct pleasure of sharing the journey with fellow artists and friends.
I am honored to be a member in the Corvallis Art Guild, Vistas and Vineyards Artist Group, Colored Pencil Society of America, and awarded Linn-Benton Community Collage Outstanding Part Time Faculty Member for 2008.

The outdoors has been a part of my art journey since 1956, at age 13. My mother gave me her oil painting box with hand-made brushes to entertain me during a camping trip. Ever since then I have been practicing on camping, hiking, back packing, boating and white water rafting trips. Living in the outdoors gives me time to visualize my place in nature’s mystery. So rather than reproducing the scenery, I am more interested in painting my feelings and connection to whimsy.
My latest adventure was camping out on location in our Winnebago in March, 2008. My painting adventure is posted on my blogs WilderWenzelArizona, Umbrella Painting, and Paul Veil’s Art for the Soul.

I used to go 1-2 times per year when I lived in that area. Great works, free admission. Now they are putting some of the art online.
