I have discovered that I really miss taking classes in different art techniques and media. It's…read moretrue -- I paint all the time. And it's also true that I'm not much good at clubs and associations and societies and other joining kinds of groups. But -- that's where a lot of seminars, classes, workshops and other learning opportunities can be found. So I bite the shyness-bullet and hold on tight to my paint brush and jump in. There are so many artists (both amateur and professional) of all kinds on this stretch of Central Oregon Coast -- it's a great place for potters, wood carvers, metal workers and glass people because of the endlessly moderate temperature. It's a great place for painters and sketching because of --well -- the SCENERY, the light, the ocean, the air quality -- you name it. You can't swing a pencil without hitting something worth drawing. The ASA offers classes -- both for adults and school age artists; as well as classes for all levels of experience. Class topics vary depending on what instructors are available -- sometimes focusing on a specific technique; sometimes exploring a new tool or even a specific subject. They offer open studio space at least once a week if you just want to come up and make your art in good company. They offer wall space so you can share your art -- and enjoy what everybody else is making. They even come together once a month for a meal and some conversation. The space is adjacent to the Artists Co-Op Gallery on the Pacific Coast Hwy -- which features the work of many of the ASA members. (It's a great little gallery -- well worth a stop-in if you're in town.) And the classes (at least the ones I've been to) have been enjoyable and a chance to try new things. -- and a chance to meet new people Membership in ASA gets you a reduced tuition -- which pays for itself with just a few afternoons of class time.

Boys that regularly play tackle football and wrestle in my family room. I've never regretted an art purchase. But, I have regretted walking away from some over the years. And in some cases have gone to great lengths to procure a piece I spotted while on vacation. The reason is that I typically like to step back and think about it for awhile before making a purchase. My bright line for making an art purchase is whether it tortures me a little bit by its absence. The Volta Glass Gallery is across the street from the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio and is where the artists based there sell their work. After making my own glass art, it gave me an even greater appreciation for the artists working in this medium. When I walked into Volta, I was greeted by Kelly Howard and gravitated toward the most recent addition to her collection. A stunning piece and we had a lovely conversation about her work in the gallery. Everything from light fixtures to glass floats and a lot in between. I thought about it for a day and returned to make my purchase. Even though it was no longer Black Friday, they gave me the special discount we discussed on my initial visit. Great customer service all around. I'm thrilled to have acquired two new pieces for my collection on this trip to the coast. My amateur effort and the work of a master in the field.
