Artists Helen Brown and Jacqueline Newbold of the High Desert Art League are featured at Broken Top Club for the holidays. Helen’s watercolor paintings in this exhibit are part of her series honoring Lewis & Clark and the Corps of Discovery’s 1804-06 expedition to find a Northwest passage to the Pacific Ocean. Of particular interest to Helen are scenes the explorers may have encountered west of the Continental Divide.
Jacqueline loves to explore creative ways to incorporate mixed media into her art and enjoys capturing a moment in time with her colorful paintings. She teaches watercolor and art journaling classes locally, nationally and in France and Italy. She has several articles published in the mixed-media magazine Cloth-Paper-Scissors and has a self-published book, Watercolor Journeys, which is a helpful guide for watercolor enthusiasts.
In addition to the High Desert Art League, both artists are members of the Watercolor Society of Oregon. Helen is a member of the Tumalo Art Co. in Bend’s Old Mill District, while Jacqueline’s work can be seen at the Red Chair Gallery in downtown Bend. Exhibit is showing through December 15.
