Tracy Leagjeld - 2009 Deschutes Brewery Jubelale Artist

Tracy Leagjeld is this years Deschutes Brewery Jubelale artist. I show my artwork with Tracy at the Tumalo Art Co. gallery in Bend. I have a fondness for Jubelale art because I was chosen as the Jubelale Artist in 2007. So I look forward to see what the next artist will do for their Jubelale art. I like the word Jubelale! To me it is a "happy" word and it conjures up feelings of festive times!

Deschutes Brewery chooses a different artist each year to represent their seasonal brew called Jubelale. I love Tracy's artwork! She does monotype paintings using oils. She works in layers and each painting is unique and beautiful! See some examples of some of her landscape paintings below.

The 2008 Jubelale artist was Pam Jersey Bird. I've shown with Pam at the Tumalo Art Co. as well and in some other places over the years and I just love her artwork too! You can see her Jubelale art and a selection of her paintings below.

2008 Pam Jersey Bird Jubelale art is above and more of Pam's paintings are below.

This is my 2007 Jubelale Art.

Cheers! Enjoy the season of Jubelale!

Kitchen Art and Playing with Color

Who says art and color isn't everywhere?

I was sitting in my kitchen recently with my laptop and I started to look
all around and SEE the color.

So I took my laptop with it's camera and took a few shots to see what I could create. Was I bored? Maybe a little. When I'm bored I always think it's a good idea to PLAY. So that is what I did. Played with my camera and made some images I call "Kitchen Art".
