Colored Pencil artist Barbara Gleason, DIVA Artist Open Studio in South Eugene, October 2009

This weekend I'll get my final frames ready for my most recent pieces that I'll be hanging at Supreme Bean Coffee Co. and WineStyles here in Eugene... I was chosen as one of the DIVA Studio Tour Artists for 2009 and I'm holding my Open Artist's Studio in these two local businesses.

I'll be demonstrating how I work on the two DIVA Studio Tour weekends, October 17-18, at Supreme Bean Coffee Co. and on October 24-25 at WineStyles, both of which are in the Eugene Southtowne shopping center now called Woodfield Station, at 29th and Willamette Streets in south Eugene, Oregon.

Come see my more recent work as well as prints, tiles and cards. The hours for both Open Studios is 11 am to 5 pm. At Supreme Bean I'll be situated toward the back of the cafe and at WineStyles I'll be in the back room, behind the main counter in the tasting area.

Below is Lorax, Great Horned-owl from the Cascades Raptor Center. Both the original and small prints of him are available, with all proceeds beyond gallery donations going to the raptor center for the support of their birds, great volunteers and staff!
