My hand-knit and felted hats are the canvas for my needle-felted bird illustrations.   Each is a unique, wearable piece of art as well as a diary of the many birds I have seen throughout the year.

The CAA has a goal to attract more folks to our website, Art Tour and other events by using our blog, Facebook and Twitter to get the word out. This fledgling effort will be greatly enhanced if some of our membership add their voices. I realize that few of us are in love with this idea . . . but it’s time to get off of our fear and get into communication. I’m pretending that it’s like learning a new artistic technique . . . it takes practice. The goal, after all, is better communication! Cheers.

What a Blast! http://www.camanoarts.org/news-and-views/artist-on-the-tour-what-a-blast/ http://www.camanoarts.org/news-and-views/artist-on-the-tour-what-a-blast/#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:11:01 +0000 dankoffman http://www.camanoarts.org/event-calendar/artist-on-the-tour-what-a-blast/ I have been part of the Mother’s Day Tour for the last several years. I look forward to the tour for many reasons . . . not least of which is opening my studio and gallery for hundreds of folks. The vibe is so upbeat, the questions thought provoking and the opportunity to watch people enjoying viewing my work is addicting! There are many faces that I recognize from year to year and it’s a thrill to see the art-loving parade that lasts the entire weekend. I encourage all artist members of CAA who want to be on the tour to go through the jury process to be part of next years tour. Tour participation is challenging, rewarding and great fun!

The 5th Annual Port Susan Snow Goose & Birding Festival is scheduled for  February 20 and 21, 2010 in Stanwood and on Camano Island .   Camano’s  Acrylic artist and CAA Member,  Ann Cory painted “Home for Christmas” which was selected as this year’s poster  image and beautifully represents the 2010 festival.   This very  popular community wide  festival is a definite “not to be missed”.  Ann’s collectible poster is  available for purchase at the two festival venues, local art galleries and Stanwood’s Snow Goose Bookstore.  Meet and visit with the artist,  Ann Cory, at her display in the  Floyd Norgaard Cultural  Center in downtown Stanwood on Saturday or Sunday.

“Everything Bird” a large fine art exhibition will be open for your enjoyment  at Four Springs Lake Preserve, 585 Lewis Lane,  on Camano Island, throughout the two day festival.  Over 30 local artists will be showing bird themed original artwork.    Many of the artists will be at the show to meet with you.  Please join us for the 2010 Port Susan Snow Goose and Birding Festival.  Additional information, maps and the festival’s schedule of events is on the official festival website below.   Check it out!  www.snowgoosefest.org

Saturday from 3 to 5p.m., Gerry Andal’s will be serving a  BBQ Salmon dinner with coleslaw and baked beans,  for just $10.  Advance tickets will help us plan, so don’t wait until Saturday… Tickets are available now at the Snow Goose Bookstore in Stanwood, at Gerry Andal’s  in Stanwood, and during the festival weekend hours at the Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center in Stanwood.  Hope to see you!
