Here are the easiest directions to follow: heading north or south on Hwy. 101, turn west on NW 3rd St. Proceed straight down the hill. At the second stop sign, turn right. One short block later, turn left under Nye Beach archway. Proceed straight to Nye Beach turnaround and parking lot. The VAC is the large blue and gray building off the turnaround.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts welcomes the Watercolor Society of Oregon (WSO) for an exhibition of award-winning member works from June 1 to July 28 in the Upstairs Gallery at the Newport Visual Arts. The traveling exhibition, “Spring Migration,” will include 20 paintings selected by WSO convention juror Fran Larsen. A First Friday opening reception will be held on June 1, 5-7pm, at the VAC, with a WSO representative on hand to discuss the exhibit at 6:30pm.
The Watercolor Society of Oregon is a nonprofit watercolor organization in its 52nd year and with over 700 statewide members. The society furthers the interest of water-media, which includes paintings created using watercolor, acrylic or other water-soluble paint. WSO also provides educational opportunities for its members and others interested in the visual arts.
Twice a year, the WSO holds conventions and displays works selected by a nationally or internationally recognized juror. From those 80 works, twenty paintings are chosen as award-winners and become part of a traveling exhibit that tours Oregon. The paintings included in the “Spring Migration” exhibit were chosen from the WSO convention held in Florence, Oregon, during April 2018.
“Each artist in ‘Spring Migration’ demonstrates an advanced facility to interpret their subjects in dynamic compositions with highly personalized color palettes and brush strokes,” says Zsuzsanna Vamos, a WSO exhibit coordinator.
The 20 painters featured in “Spring Migration” are Ruth Armitage, Carol Barnett, Maria Berg, Sarah Bouwsma, John Bradley, Helen Brown, Jennie Chen, Vernon Groff, Beverly Haynes, Judy Hoiness, Harold Huestis, Sue Jensen, Steve Kleier, Doyle Leek, Diana Nadal, Margaret Stermer-Cox, Chris Stubbs, Liz Walker, Harold Walkup and Sandra Woods.
“Spring Migration” includes abstract paintings, examples of cubism, landscapes, city scenes, portraits and more.
The Upstairs Gallery is open Tues.-Sat., noon to 4pm.

Today (May 2nd) the wind stopped blowing so I could paint outdoors. For details on what and how I painted this body of work see my blog on this site. I hope you will comment as well. I'm a lucky lady to be able to create something that is a part of me that others can see and share.

Diana Nadal Collage--30 Paintings in 30 Days
30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta, January, 2014.
Making a collage of the art created during the Challenge says a little something about who I am as a person as well as an artist. My love of color certainly comes through. Choosing to paint specific and varied topics made it a little more difficult but satisfying. This was a creative journey and the daily adventure led to some paintings which you love, some you don't and maybe a few that you can consider finished and put on the website.. I'll have to settle back down to my daily routine of painting without the challenge of producing a painting by the end of the day. Thanks to Leslie Saeta for hosting this challenge and to each person who "liked" and posted comments.
The journey continues. My excitement and passion to produce new works is stronger than ever. I have finished several of the paintings started during the Challenge and you can find them for sale in the "My Paintings" tab.
If you want more details about my feelings and the process of each painting you can see them on my blog http://www.dianagnadal.blogspot.com or contact me with your questions via email mailto:dianagnadal@gmail.com
