Editorial by by Peggy Kinstler Thoughts From Helena, Montana   Excerpt from Karen Vance's Landscapes Bring Yo To The Mountains by by Peggy Kinstler Landscape artist Karen Vance talks to the paintings in her collection... and they talk back to her. “Sometimes I’ll get stuck on a painting or get in a mental funk and I’ll walk up to one of Quang Ho’s paintings [Vance has studied with Quang Ho for a number of years] and say, ‘Talk to me Quang.’ The painting will talk to me, showing me how to get beyond that human mental stagnation that everyone gets into from time to time.”   Excerpt from Larry Fanning's Wildlife From Backyard & Wilderness To Canvas by Bret Wright An elk tops the crest of the hill. She strolls through a neighbor’s yard and then disappears down the other side of the hill. No bobcats are out today, and she is at ease. The human dwellings don’t faze her anymore.   Excerpt from Ruminations On the Artwork of Mark Stewart by Sue Stewart I am an English teacher who’s married to an artist. So, despite my best efforts to contain myself, I’m always trying to discover the deeper meaning in my husband’s work. He does not enjoy conversations about this. That’s part of why he paints. Painting is his talking.   Excerpt from The Twists, Knots, And Burls Of Myrtlewood Suit Carver Terry Woodall by C. S. Homer It has been said, in an allegory, that those who see the world outside its ordinary confines assume a responsibility to impart their wisdom to the masses still held within life’s constructs. Wielding an ever tolerated and proverbial stick of eccentricities and imagination, the artist is perhaps the greatest example of this axiom. One such artist is Terry Woodall, an Oregon wood- carver shaping myrtlewood to depict the Pacific Northwest’s wildlife and sea life.   Excerpt From "Being There" With Linda Besse by Myrna Zanetell The day that three-year-old Linda Besse lovingly reached out to pet the nose of a zebra at the zoo, the youngster had no inclination that exotic animals and birds would eventually become her life’s passion. Even at that early age her destiny already had been sealed.   Christine M. Cancelli Mary Roberson Carol Peek by Christine M.
