January is a time to relax and reflect.  All the Christmas decorations are packed away, and your home looks a bit forlorn.  This is the perfect time to change things up a bit – move a few chairs, hang some new art, freshen up your look a bit – and there is no better place for inspiration than the Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver.  Music will be playing, and artists will be laughing!  Stop by and view some new art for your home.

Or even more interesting would be to attend the monthly Second Saturday celebration on Saturday, January 11 from 4-6pm.  There will be food, drink, and fun.  January can be a dreary month, so take this opportunity to get out of the house and talk with the Gallery’s featured artists.

Painter Dottie Moniz has always been a favorite of Gallery patrons, with her constantly evolving style and technique.  Moniz has two new pieces on display, and we’re confident that both paintings will find new homes quickly.   “Snow on Paulina Peak” incorporates both watercolor and collage to depict the beautiful view from Sunriver to Paulina.  The second piece, “Three Sisters in December” is one of the artist’s favorite scenes to paint, and the viewer can sense that when enjoying it.

Jewelry artist Karla Proud, best known for her beautiful Oregon Sunstone jewelry, is featuring Oregon Fire Opals in the month of January.  “Fire Opal” is a term used for colorful, transparent to translucent opals that have a fire-like background color of yellow, orange, or red.  Karla and her husband, John Proud, were lucky to be part of a fee dig at the Juniper Ridge opal mine (located in Southern Oregon, West of Lakeview) several years ago.  As a result, Proud has an excellent selection of fire opals on display at the Gallery.  Each piece demonstrates the various color ranges of faceted gems, cabochons and even opal beads.  Each piece is uniquely Oregon!
