Tag: Labor Day in Cannon Beach

The Palette Puddlers are a group of professional female artists, many of whom have painted together for many years. Every Monday, rain or shine, they gather to paint in some inspiring Cannon Beach location. During their weekly get togethers, they provide mutual support, critique artistic efforts and share the joy of creativity. They just have a lot of fun, too.

Labor Day weekend is one of the three times each year when the group creates an art gallery at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce to show and sell their original work. (Other times are over Memorial Day weekend and at the Stormy Weather Arts Festival.) The Labor Day exhibit will be set up at 207 N. Spruce Street, and hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 4-6, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m on Monday, Sept. 7. Participating artists will provide both morning and afternoon demonstrations of their particular styles throughout the weekend.

The Palette Peddlers are Louise Birkenhead, Patricia Button, Ireta Sitts-Graube, Susan Bish, Jeannette Gran-Davis, Debbie Janssen, Betty Brower, Judith Fredrikson, Jo Pomeroy-Crockett, Sheila Brown, Mary Ann Gantenbein, Susan Thomas, and Ellen Zimet. Many of these artists show their paintings and artwork in other venues in the Northwest. Their works can be found in homes throughout the state, as nationally as well.

The Palette Puddlers have created their fourth art calendar highlighting the artwork of individual group members. Each month of the year features a painting in the artistic style of one of the 13 artist members. Calendars cost $20. They can be purchased at the event or online at palletepuddlers.com.
