Artwork by Kathy Deggendorfer Artist Statement:  This year’s poster is from my painting titled “Go To Town”. The painting was done with liquid watercolor on Rives BFK Printmakers paper. The smooth surface of the paper and the liquid watercolor make it possible to achieve really intense and saturated color…just the way I like it…bright and cheery. I love painting little houses. The square, rectangle and triangle shapes build such lovely little patterns. “Go To Town” is a fun piece that includes lots of different styles of buildings and perspectives along a luscious curving purple road. It represents the town of Sisters. We are a mountain town…built on a solid base of traditional quilting (the basic block houses at the bottom). The neighborhood is filled with houses and horses, cows and dogs , pickup trucks and big mountain vistas. All this and a backdrop of golden fields and rolling farm land. In a tribute to our pioneering spirit, I topped it off with a little log cabin, a portly bear and a very tame deer! I hope the poster makes you smile and you see something new in it every time! Mark it on your calendar, time for you to “Go To Town” for the 37th Annual Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. It’s a visual extravaganza you won’t want to miss! Posters, t-shirts and other merchandise featuring this year's image is available for purchase from the Stitchin' Post.
