Photographer offers floral calendar

Jan and Kay Kepley have created and produced an April 2019-March 2020 calendar with 12 months of floral imagery. This is a great way to keep track of what you plant in your garden or events that are coming up. The imagery is by local photographer Jan Kepley. If you didn’t get a 2019 calendar last December, here is one that starts April 1 and runs for a full 12 months.

These calendars are available from the Kepleys at jankaykepley@hotmail.com or visit www.resonancecards.com. Jan Kepley also will be at the Spring Market Show at the Sequim High School cafeteria March 24-25. This show benefits the high school swim team.

OPAA meeting to feature pastel artist

Debbie Harding is the featured artist at the Olympic Peninsula Art Association meeting set for 9:30 a.m.-noon Thursday, March 28, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 525 N. Fifth Ave. in Sequim. After a short business meeting, the group hosts an art presentation from Harding, who will give a brief introduction to the pastel artist, then will highlight the basics of preparing to do a pastel painting. The main portion of her presentation will be an actual demonstration of painting a landscape from beginning to end, focusing basics that go into making a pleasing composition and painting.

“Settling on pastels as my medium of choice in 2008, I decided to finally (after many detours into other worthwhile, but non-art paths) pursue in earnest a career as a pastel artist,” Harding says. “I fell in love with pastels after the first use, for their vibrancy, versatility and immediacy.”
