As of today, three of the caterpillars have gone on to become chrysalises.  I was lucky enough to watch one go from the hanging “J” formation to becoming a chrysalis.  She began to contract and expand, pushing from the inside out.  It looked painful and this part lasted for awhile.  But once the skin parted and began to shed from the bottom up, it took just seconds to transform into a gorgeous lime-green new creation complete with beads of gold.  At this time the caterpillar actually turns into a liquid mass and totally transforms miraculously into a different being.

 The other seven continue to eat, explore their surroundings, disappear for awhile (just to get me into a panic, I am sure) and even climb on the walls of the house before returning to the milkweed.  One of them is giant! 

A big one!

Between the outside caterpillars and the ones that I brought into the house, I have found 20!  Someone mentioned that they were probably hiding and now that they are growing and getting bigger, they are easier to spot.  I put grocery netted bags with a drawstring over a few of the plants that have caterpillars to keep spiders, birds and other harmful prey away.  So far they are working!

The Elements of Design – Upcoming Class at TAW, Bend, OR

What kind of painter are you? Are you a value painter or a shape maker? Do you love putting lines or texture in your paintings? This class explores the elements of design: value, color, shapes, pattern, texture and shape. We will paint a series of paintings with each painting focusing on one of these elements. All levels welcome. 
I will be teaching this fun 4-week watercolor class at Tumalo Art Works Gallery starting on Friday Oct. 26th at 1:00.  Hope to see you there!  Jacqueline


Happy to Announce…

Happy to Announce…

My painting, Staying Afloat, was accepted into the Watercolor Society of Oregon’s 47thAnnual Transparent Watercolor Show.  The juror, Chris Van Winkle, chose 80 paintings from 268 entries.  The show opening will be held at the Resort at the Mountain, Welches, OR on Oct. 6 and the paintings will be on display until Oct. 26, 2012.  

The inspiration for Staying Afloat came from a photo I took of a tree draped with lobster buoys on the quaint island of Isle au Haut, Maine.  The island, which is part of Acadia National Park, is only accessible by boat.  The buoy tree is located near the Town Landing where the ferryboat docks and is a colorful, welcoming site.  The buoy tree is much like the shoe trees that have spread along Oregon’s highways and beyond but I think the lobster buoys are more lively and charming than the shoes and thought it would be a fun subject to paint.
