September is our Annual Salmon Show featuring Rex Burress, the artist, writer, and naturalist. His paintings are on display at the Artists of River Town Gallery, 1435 Myers St., Downtown Oroville, through September 30. Rex’s love of nature is demonstrated in his rendering of the natural world.

More than a painter, Rex writes a weekly column about, and takes photographs of, the glory of nature — all with good humor and great expertise. You can check out his column, “River Watcher” in the local newspapers. He is our go-to expert in identifying local (sometimes exotic) flora, fauna, rocks and minerals.

Rex will be joined by Jean Burg, Don Becktel, Freda Flint, Lynn Rose Light, Lynne Stefanetti, Bob Thomaston, Phyllis Morris, Lauralyn Lambert, Barbara Sekerka, Machelle Conn, each showing work of a “Salmon and Critters” theme.
