Nelson Museum presents works of Kent Crawford in new show

An exhibition of paintings by Kent Crawford opens at the Nelson Museum on Dec. | and continues until Dec. 15,

The artist is a recent newcomer to Nelson, having moved here from Vancouver after visiting the area as a tree planter for some years, the Nelson Museum says in a news release.

Crawford paints in acrylics on mahogany board. His paintings are inspired by his experience of the physical landscape of British Colum- bia, but his technique is to bring the images to the borders of abstraction.

“The paintings recall times when my perception Crawford said. “Appearance,

reawakens,”’ and

not the image association, becomes important. I leave only enough recognizable in the works to allow the viewer to enter into the image and become fascinated by the pat- tern.””

Crawford was born in Vancouver and studied fine arts at the Univer- sity of California at Irvine and in- dustrial design at Western Washington University. He has previously exhibited his work in one-

man shows at the Graphic Edge, Toa Chen’s Gallery and the Yaletown» Gallery in Vancouver, and in Nelson at the Hummingbird Gallery.

In addition to his paintings, Crawford makes silk-screen prints of his works. In these screenprints, each

Nelson studio, Crawford is enjoying cycling in the Nelson area and photographing the landscapes for future paintings.

A reception to meet the artist will be held Dec. 2 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thie public is welcome.

Faire plans underway

Preparations are in high gear for the 17th annual Kootenay Christmas Faire, to be held at the Nelson Civic Centre on Nov. 29, 30 and Dec. 1 The annual event features three days of fine crafts and entertainment from artists and artisans from the West Kootenay area, and traditionally starts off the Christmas season in festive style, says organizer Pauline Hanbury, who has lined up

more than 50 booths of fine han- dmade crafts by Kootenay artisans featuring affordable Christmas gifts for every taste. Familiar faces will be there and a number of new artisans who have recently made their homes here will be at the Faire.

Live entertainment by local artists will be featured on Thursday and Friday evenings, and a_ special children’s program is planned for

Saturday morning. The Kootenay Christmas Faire provides a three-day meeting and marketplace for the season and has become a Nelson tradition.

Faire hours are 4 p.m. to 9 p.m Nov. 29, 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Nov 30 and 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. | Free parking is provided in the ballfield behind the Civic Centre, weather permitting

Trees decked out in finest

With the first-ever Nelson Festival of Trees a matter of days away, the organizations and groups who are donating the creative input to produce a dozen spectacularly decorated Christmas trees for auc- tion are beginning to exhibit their finished products.

The Festival of Trees is a fun- draising event sponsored by the Selkirk College Foundation and the Trail and District University Women's Club. The gala evening is modelled on similar events that have been staged in Edmonton and Spokane. The trees, each decorated in a different theme, will be auc- tioned off after a gourmet meal that is being prepared and served by Selkirk College students in the college’s professional cooking program.

The Festival of Trees will be held Nov. 23 at hte Savoy banquet hall in Nelson.

Those organizations donating the creative impetus to decorate the trees include the college’s graphic com- munications faculty and students, Rumplestilskein Spinners and Weavers of Grand Forks, the Grand Forks Quilt Connection, Harmony Flowers of Grand Forks, Carousel Craft of Grand Forks, Selkirk Weavers and Spinners Guild of Castlegar, Tulips Floral Co. of Castlegar, the college’s ad- ministrative secretaries and the Hair Annex of Castlegar. Both the junior and senior hairdressing classes at the college’s Nelson campus are designing a tree, as is the Trail Arts Club.

Planning eases holiday hassles

SASKATOON (CP) — Christmas means: (A) Good will, giving, and sharing time with loved ones; (B) Two weeks of planning, cooking and fretting for five days of turkey, two days of dish washing, two months of bills, two dollars worth of antacid and one day of festivities.

If the latter definition applies to your family, you may want to evaluate the way you celebrate Christmas.

Leslie Gautschi, who conducts workshops on trimming down Christmas for Saskatchewan Con- sumer and Commercial Affairs, and The Christmas Book by Alice Slaikeu Lawhead, offer some helpful suggestions.

Look at what you do and why you do it. Do your expectations mat- ch reality?

“Often we do things, not because we want to, but because someone along the line has expected it of us,” says Gautschi.

After examining her Christmas traditions, she quit making Christ- mas cake.

“<1'd spend all this money making one and no one in the house eats it.””

You may decide to make roast beef instead of turkey. Make one dessert instead of 100.

Make a wish list with your family of what you’d like to happen during the Christmas season, paying atten- tion to what went wrong last year.

Did you mail the gifts too late? Ask too many people over for dinner?

Learn to say ‘‘No.”’ If the only time of year you see the Johnsons is to exchange gifts at Christmas, talk to them about giving cards instead.

Revise your expectations. Examine whether your visjon of Christmas is realistic. If you come from a broken family, don’t anticipate mom and dad will get together like the old days. Don’t promise to buy your children everything they want if ‘gputre’ a single’*parent collecting social service benefits.

Gautschi says people expect to fulfil their high expectations of Christmas and not go over budget. Instead, take a business-like ap- proach to this season.

Budget a specific amount monthly throughout the year for Christmas. Buy wrap and cards on sale. Pick names among the family or set a price limit on gifts. Make presents or give IOUs for lawn mowing or babysitting.

Gautschi suggests using a recipe box to organize gift suggestions and required supplies.

Be open to suggestions and com- promise. Your family may have its own ideas about the Christmas celebration or may disagree with some of your ideas. Keep an open mind.

Don’t be discouraged if your plans fail. You may think you need to do

all your shopping by September, only to discover you like the last- minute hassle. Evaluate what worked, what didn’t and what you’d like to do next year.

seen are truly lovely,” said Annie Holtby, coordinator of the event which is the first of its kind in the West Kootenay area.

Holtby was lavish in her praise for the groups who volunteered to decorate trees, noting that they are all so unique and all so well crafted.

The dozen Christmas trees will be assembled in Nelson on Thursday and will be exhibited Friday during the dinner and silent auction of Christmas handicrafts that precedes the official tree auction. Tickets are still available for the event and may be obtained by contacting the president’s secretary at the Castlegar campus of Selkirk College. Tickets are $40 per person with half the
