~Butletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2011 11B ARTS and ENTERTAINMENT Gallery celebrates 30 years with re-opening The Plumas Arts Gallery is delighted to present the work of husband-and-wife artists Harry Reeves and Linda Blum in an opening reception Friday night, Feb. 4. Kicking off Plumas Arts' 30th an- niversary, the gallery at 372 Main St. will be filled with the couple's keenly observed paintings of nature and wildlife. As part of Quincy's Art Walk the same night, starting at 5 p.m. the Plumas Arts Gallery will host a reception for the pair with drinks and delicious treats. Main Street Artists Gallery and Eagle's Nest Frame Shop and Gallery will also host opening recep- tions from 5 to 8 p.m. Many downtown merchants will be open late for the festivities. For more information about the Plumas Arts Gallery show, call 283:3402 or visit plumasarts.org. The artists Since they are a husband- and-wife team who show their art jointly, it is helpful to know how to tell the work of one from that of the other. Linda does the trees and Harry does the birds: that's how you tell them apart! There Is more to it than that, but Linda does favor land- scape and forest scenes while Harry enjoys wildlife sub- jects. Linda's work employs only watercolors, whereas Harry also uses pastel, charcoal and pen and ink. Harry Reeves "My family lived in Oak- land and we regularly vaca- tioned at Oakland Camp or in Chester. My father fly- fished and he considered the Feather River waters to be the best area in the world for the pursuit of trout. I have hiked, fished and hunted over much of North America but came to prefer the north- ern Sierra and moved to Quincy in 1980. Since then I have spent as much of my time as I can fishing and creating art. "I have been fascinated by birds in particular nature and wildlife in general for my entire life, My mother, being a very accomplished artist in her own right, en- couraged me to draw and paint throughout my child- hood and I had the benefit of having some excellent art instructors in elementary through high school. While I have not formally pursued art academically, I have Family across four2enerations Front, from left: Horace Fitzpatrick, great-grandson Ronnie Fitzpatrick; rear, from left: grand- daughter Shelia Fitzpatrick and son Ronald Fitzpatrick. Photo by Ran Slaten Quincy resident Horace Fitzpatrick is 9 years, 145 days too young. At .105 years, 30 days and counting, ,he is well behind America's oldest living person, Eunice San- born, 114, and California's Soledad Mexia, 112. However, it seems quite likely he is PlUmas County's oldest liv- ing person. He recently cele- brated his birthday with family and friends. When he Conservancy plans meetings The Sierra Nevada Conser- vancy (SNC) is in the process of developing a new strategic plan to guide its work over the next three years. With input from many stakeholders, SNC has refined its future direction into four main areas of focus that cut across its existing programs: healthy forests, watershed protection and restoration, agricultural lands and tourism and recreation. SNC seeks as much stake- holder input as possible for the new plan, so it has planned a series of workshops around the region to gather thoughts and ideas. In addition, SNC will be sharing ideas it is considering for how to structure its future grant program. The meetings will take place at these locations on the following dates: Feb. 7:1 - 4 p.m. Susanville: BLM Office, 2950 Riverside Drive Feb. 10:1 - 4 p.m. Oroville: Butte College, Swing Space G102, 3536 Butte Campus Drive Attendees should RSVP for the meetings by visiting sierra nevadaconservancy.ca.gov. Click the appropriate link under the News & Events tab to get more information and registration links. For those who can't attend either of the meetings, SNe will broadcast the• 30-minute workshop introduction via the Web on both Feb. 7 and Feb. 10. Viewers will be able to submit their suggestions and ideas electronically. Viewers can use the links above to register for the short Web broadcast on the corresponding day they would like to participate. More information about the broad- cast will be available closer to the date of the meetings. was 100, Fitzpatrick still mowed his own lawn, paid his own bills: and walked two miles a day. Today, at 105, he still pays his own bills and gets around with the help of 8 walker; he walks outdoors five or six times a week, weather permitting. He also attends the Lutheran church as often as he can. Fitzpatrick gets his own breakfast every day: cereal, orange juice and a banana. The Senior Nutri- tion Program provides his mare-meal at luncht4me, and dinner is Ritz crackers, peanut butter, a banana and a glass of red wine the glass of wine is consumed without fail. An informal survey identified two other Plumas centenarians: Ida Collier, 101, from the Chester area, and Marian Kunz, 101, from Indian Valley.

"Georgia O'Keeffe said, 'No one can teach me how to paint.' Art, I agree, is a talent you must refine in your own way to your own satisfaction. I gain something from every master- piece I get a chance to see. I enjoy watching other artists at work. I have attended several workshops over the years and picked up a lot of helpful ideas along the way. Still I believe that fundamentally everyone is an artist and it really remains up to the individual to cultivate his or her unique talents in their own way. "I want to know a wildlife subject firsthaiad so that I may convey my understand- ing of where it lives and how • it behaves. When you look at an animal I have painted or sketched, I hope you can share my feeling that it is looking back at you, letting you in on something special about its life." Sierra Valley birds A special series of 16 water- color paintings shows several of the many species ofbirds commonly found in Sierra Valley during the spring and early summer breeding season, These original water- color paintings are being used to make a set of inter- pretive signs on the viewing platform at the Feather River Land Trust's Maddalena Ranch. Plumas Audubon Society's Darrel Jury guided the development of the interpretive nature trail and set up the viewing platform there with a National Audubon Society/Toyota Forever Green grant. It is Reeves' hope that, in the tradition of John James Audubon, these paintings go beyond showing simply what different-birds look like, to also inform the viewer about where they live and how they behave. Linda Blum "1 have been fascinated by birds and forests since child- hood, and have pursued those interests over the last 30 years in a career as a land use planner, wildlife habitat specialist, natural resource management consultant and environmental activist. It was only 10 years ago, with Harry's encouragement, that I began learriing to paint with watercolors. "My original reason for taking up watercolors was to make my own journal illustrations. I've practiced amateur photography since high school. But sometimes photographs are too literal. or too limited, to record a particular place at a particu- lar moment. We tend to point, shoot and take whatever im- age the camera lens gives. Painting a scene can edit, concentrate and literally color how I remember a place far better than photographs in some situations. I like to at least start a painting onsite, but many times I also use my own digital photographs to compose and guid~ my paint- ings after I get home. "I still make little paintings for my personal journals. I also enjoy making larger watercolors and offering them to others. I got carried away trying to paint the as- pen trees outside my kitchen window this fall, and three of my new works show autumn's progress as well as my admi- ration for aspen. Other paint- ings I'm showing are more whimsical; these came out of a series of exercises in differ- ent painting techniques shown,on YouTube videos and online classes. Harry and Georgia O. are right: you can learn by watching other artists, but no one can teach yOU to paint, It's something you learn yourself." Saturday,.
