NORTH BEND — Local scenes by North Bend artist Don Sanné will be displayed at Sterling Bank at 1611 Virginia Ave. through the end of March. Some of the works in acrylic watercolor are part of a portfolio Sanné will soon present to the American Society of Marine Artists to gain signature membership in the society. A North Bend native, Sanné graduated from the Burnley School of Professional Art (now the Art Institute of Seattle) and worked as an architectural illustrator, photographer and drafter, most recently in Medford, before family ties brought him back to North Bend in 1998. “Since then, I’ve been working in the area of marine art,”he said. “I’ve been painting some of the wonderful areas around Charleston and the Bay Area.” Sanné said he’s favored acrylic since its introduction in the 1960s because “it’s a more forgiving medium than oils or trans- parent watercolor.” “It’s always a learning process,”he said. “I’m learning to uti- Contributed photos lize acrylic to its fullest.” An acrylic watercolor by Don Sanné depicts a scene in the Charleston boatyard. On the cover: An acrylic watercolor by Don Sanné shows a fishing boat heading out in the early morning light. The painting was part of the Coos Art Museum’s 2010 Maritime Art Exhibition.
