art workshops ART IN THE MOUNTAINS www.artinthemountains.com, 503-930-4572, info@artinthemountains.com. These workshops are all held at the Phoenix Inn Suites in Bend. Nicholas Simmons Watermedia Workshop, August 12-16, 9am-3pm. You’ll never think about painting the same way again! Prepare yourself for Nicholas’ high energy, unorthodox and varied approach to watercolor. This workshop will focus on concepts, composition and design elements with concentration on diversity in subject matter; poured watercolor; fluid acrylic used as transparent watercolor; unusual textures such as his popular “batik” technique; large scale painting; computer-aided design and creative photography for obtaining unconventional reference shots. Nicholas was the sole judge representing the U.S. at the Shanghai Zhujiajiao International Watercolour Biennial, the world’s largest watercolor exhibition, in 2010 and 2012. Robert Burridge Mixed Media Workshop, August 19-23, 9am-3pm. Think Matisse, Rauschenburg, Diebenkorn, Motherwell… and you! Bob will guide you to paint the way you have always wanted to paint. Using your own ragbag of cool stuff to glue and assemble, plus acrylic paint and your off-center imagination, you will learn how to begin a new fresh body of work with your own artistic voice and point of view. And, imagine painting with no brushes! This wild workshop is about jumping off the cliff and creating artwork no one has ever seen you do. Burridge is the Honorary President of the International Society of Acrylic Painters See other workshops on www.cascadeae.com calendar/workshops.

C
New Perspective For June by Eileen Lock
ooperation is the theme this month and it will be time to appreciate the people in your life. Family becomes very important the first week so let yourself enjoy them. Decisions made on the 3rd are cooperative and will help you feel more comfortable about the direction you are going. The 7th is a huge day as you are asked to trust what is taking place. Let go of needing to explain yourself and continue moving forward towards more happiness. The New Moon on the 8th is combined with a change of direction and it will be necessary to have faith. Conversations on the 10th can inspire healing especially if you can let go of old emotions. Make a new decision at this time and be sure that you believe in your choices. You could find yourself turning a corner on the 12th and by the 14th you will be glad that you did. Changes on the 17th will bring a lighter energy and it will be time to think about your needs. Opportunities are realized on the 19th and if you are willing to say “Yes” you could be amazed by what happens over the next few days. Express your gratitude on the 20th as you move into the Summer Solstice. Remember to keep your heart open and be honest about how you feel. The Full Moon on the 23rd is a time to check in with yourself to be sure you are prepared for what is coming. More opportunities present themselves after the 25th and you need to be receptive to the cooperation of others. Slow down on the 26th and realize it will be important to be patient over the next couple of weeks. Focus on your needs over the last few days and remind yourself that your happiness is important.
