2011 Stormy Weather Arts Festival
Weathering the Arts
Cannon Beach celebrates the 24th Annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival, whether the weather cooperates or not.

| Hug Point 30x40 oils on canvas by Michael Orwick at Dragon Fire Gallery |
William Phillips at Heritage GalleryCannon Beach has long been regarded as a premier destination for art lovers, and Stormy Weather Arts Festival, held every year the first weekend in November, is the city's celebration of that designation. Three days of art, music, literature, theatre and poetry showcase the artists and galleries of Cannon Beach. This year's festival takes place November 4-6, and thirteen galleries will participate, each of them highlighting new artists or new work from those who show regularly. In addition to offering nibbles and libations to welcome all art lovers, browsers and buyers, galleries will provide opportunities to meet the artists, and in some cases, to watch them create.The schedule of events is full, beginning on Friday night with Quick Draw, a perennial favorite. Tickets for this event are available only by purchasing them in advance at the Cannon Beach Chamber. The rules for Quick Draw are simple: artists have one hour to create a piece of art ready to sell in the auction that follows. In addition, a silent auction will include the work of seven photographers. There will be food, drink and the creation of original art while you watch.
Two events will be held on Saturday at Coaster Theatre: at 3 pm, David Robinson will play the piano while his son, Thomas, shows a photo montage of his own creation. That evening at 8, the spotlight will be on Tom Grant, a favorite Portland musician and composer of a series of jazz-influenced pop albums.
There will be local, regional, national and internationally known artists showing their work at Stormy Weather this year, demonstrating technique and offering presentations during the entire weekend. A few local favorites are: Jeffrey Hull, Thomas Hughes and Jim Kingwell. Jeffrey Hull, showing at Jeffrey Hull Gallery started painting more than 35 years ago, always drawing inspiration from the coastline. He paints both in watercolor and in oil and is known for his ability to capture the mood of those places where water meets land. He is a signature member of the prestigious American Society of Marine Artists.
Thomas Hughes will be appearing at Modern Villa Gallery. After making unique, innovative and functional furniture for many years, Hughes branched out into kinetic sculpture. His series of "mechanical theatres" began about three years ago and encompasses many of his interests: folk art, engineering, circuses, birds, kinetic movement, roadside attractions and woodcarving. They started out with simple mechanisms but each new piece has become more complex, reflecting Tom's talent and imagination.
James Kingwell, from Icefire Glassworks was educated as a potter, but self-educated as a glass artist. Kingwell recently celebrated 40 years making glass art and brings this wealth of experience to his classic, simple forms. His colors run the gamut from the serene blues and greens of his "Northern Lights" pieces to the electric colors of his "Bad Hair Day" Series. For the ultimate in collaborative artistic drama, combining ballet, art and craft, be sure to see Jim and his partners when they are blowing glass.
From farther afield come William Phillips, Christopher Burkett and Matthew Palmer. Phillips, currently showing his work at Heritage Gallery, is aviation artist of choice for many American heroes and the favorite nostalgic landscape artist for many collectors. In each of his aviation paintings, his goal is to convey to viewers the beauty and exhilaration of flight. He is one of only a few artists to have had a one-man show in The Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.
Christopher Burkett is a photographic artist showcased at Northwest By Northwest Gallery. Burkett studied with Ansel Adams and his influence is seen in the artist's fine art color landscape photographs. Says Burkett: "The purpose of my photography is to provide a brief, if somewhat veiled, glimpse into that clear and brilliant world of light and power."
Matthew Palmer, a Bronze Coast Gallery artist, uses a variety of traditional media including stone, marble, clay, wood and bronze to sculpt life-size creatures. Palmer has established himself as a sculptor for the National Park Service with installations at Arches National Park in Moab, Utah, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, California and Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, Louisiana. He currently has several projects in the works. Among them is a life-size African Elephant made of butterflies for The City of Norfolk's Virginia Zoo.
Throughout the weekend several of the galleries will have receptions along with artists' demonstrations. To mention a few: On Friday, John Ebner will paint at Haystack Gallery from 4 to 8pm; Pam Juett will demonstrate her bead-making techniques at Icefire Glassworks, in conjunction with a reception from 4:30 to 6:30pm; Georgia Gerber will give a sculpture demonstration at 4pm at Northwest By Northwest Gallery; and Gary Fenske will paint in the dark under black light at Primary Elements Gallery.
On Saturday, there will be demonstrations by Michael Orwick, Chuck Gumpert and Theresa Andreas O'Leary from 11am to 4pm at DragonFire Gallery, with live music starting at 4. Mark Gordon will show his technique for making blown glass fish at Icefire Glassworks from 1 to 3pm. Sunday morning features coffee and pastries at several galleries.
The Stormy Weather Arts Festival weekend provides a full panoply of riches for the art lover, whether you prefer photography, oil painting, watercolor, or three dimensional art, you will find all of them, coupled with fine cuisine, good wine and music everywhere.

The 21st annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival coaxes artists, families and art lovers to Cannon Beach to discuss art and to delight the senses during the weekend of Nov. 7 through 9. Calendars and businesses are brimming with exhibits, lectures, readings, food and music at area shops, restaurants and galleries.Weekend festivities kick off Friday with the annual Quick Draw event. Artists use raw materials, creating masterpieces in one hour starting at 7 p.m. at the Tolovana Inn, 3400 S. Hemlock St. After works are completed, they'll be auctioned. Tickets to this event are limited; food will be available. One artist profiled in the Quick Draw is Michael Orwick. His impressionistic paintings are both shocking and thrilling through his use of light, color and movement. His works are exhibited at DragonFire Studio & Gallery; his love of the Oregon Coast is evident. In an interview, he said he "hoped to portray the fog and haze with the light and beauty that contrasts those elements on the coast of Oregon." Read his blog about light, sound and color at michaelorwick.blogspot.com/2008/09/oregon-coast-gallery-gets-stormy-in.html.

Christopher Bibby displays an Englishman’s whimsical view of the Pacific Northwest with his architectural studies of Portland and surrounding nature. His oils are rich in color and playful forms, showing us a place we are glad to inhabit.
Tracy MacEwen captures the magic of foreign travel in joyfully colorful encaustic canvases. 
His semi-abstract landscapes and life studies interpret that “genius of place” all travelers will recognize. Tracy blends a formal training in design with a true artist’s love of texture and color.
Both DragonFire and the gallery café, Inspired!, will be alive with music all weekend. From 12 – 2 p.m. on Saturday Blues artist Kelsey Mosley will make her DragonFire debut. Kelsey and her guitar will charm you with an original and easygoing contemporary blues repertoire. During our big Stormy Weather reception from 4 – 7 p.m. Saturday, the multifaceted Los Luminos will be in the house with their signature zydeco music and a full range of other classics. Our featured artists will be on hand; wine and appetizers will be served.

From 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday at the Chamber of Commerce, DragonFire photographer Clark Little will be featured in a special event called Surfing as Art. Clark grew up in Hawaii surfing the Waimea Bay breaks and decided to document the majesty of ocean waves through photography. Clark will be on hand to talk about catching the perfect wave on a board and through the lens. Details of this event are still in progress - but count on Clark’s photos, music, surf stuff and more. Whether you ride the waves or not, this event promises to be a must see. Clark and his photographs can also be found at DragonFire during the day on Saturday.
