Len enjoys painting the local beaches and forest scenes. His repertoire includes 27 west coast light houses. He painted the St. George Light House six times. A new arena for him is painting on small "box" canvases that do not need to be framed. You can watch him paint these at the Saturday Farmers' Market on the Boardwalk at the Port of Brookings Harbor June 14 through October 11, 9am-3pm.

Violet continues to capture a "moment in time", sometimes with film and more recently with digital. Her doors & windows are in the "secret" series and are very popular. Boats in the harbor, , garden floral, pelicans, and beaches round out the collection. This year she added a large number of old gas pump images to her collection.

With driftwood plentiful they incorporate it in framing, decorator mirros including heartshapes and one of a kind objects.
