August Art

There is a new show at the Fendig Gallery that will run until September 26. The title is "Showcasing Our Artist Teachers" and as the name implies the works are done by art teachers, present and past.

There is wide variety of styles and media on display.

 Below is a dress made from men's ties.

 The show also includes pottery, baskets, and sculpture. The hours for the gallery are Tuesdays and Thursdays noon until 4:00 and Saturday noon until 2:00.

Mural fever is catching. Mount Hood Pizza has added this abstract design to its building.

The high school parking lot has been decorated by the seniors. I do not know the story behind this but I am sure it is interesting.

This one could win the award for most humorous.

 Most of the pictures say something about the students who painted them.

 The lettering on the picture below is crude but the pig is endearing.

 I would guess that this student runs track and plays basketball.

These pictures will be hard to see during school hours because there will be cars parked on them. If you want to check them out, Sundays are a promising day.

Signs on the Court House law are announcing events for September. August has flown by.

 The last of the brick pillars at Monnett/Staddon were finished on Friday.

The swimming pool has no water. It was open until Friday for a water aerobics class and each day the water would drop about an inch. By the last day water was ankle deep in the shallow end. I suspect that the pool leaks.

Big park news this week! There will be a groundbreaking ceremony for new ball fields west of the Cruiser Shelter. On Saturday soccer games were being played there so I do not know how construction will fit with soccer.

Ayda's will have an open house on Monday and Tuesday to showcases their new banquet room and outdoor seating. Hours are from 11 to 4.
