Charles Surendorf 3ded/100 Old School Columbia Linoleum block Print

Surendorf, Charles Frederick II (1906/7-1979) (Lived in Columbia, California.)

“Charles Surendorf of Columbia, Calif., is exhibiting 23 watercolor paintings and 13 linoleum block prints at the Forden gallery during the month of March… Seldom has there been presented in San Luis Obispo an artist so widely recognized for his basic mastery of painting and paint mixing… In addition to his nationwide art participation, Surendorf has established the Mother Lode Art Gallery in Columbia, where he now lives with his wife and four children. He does not teach. His paintings and prints are moderately priced and their sale keeps him, as he says, ‘glued to his easel.’ … The watercolor paintings are western landscapes: Northern California, Arizona, and particularly of Columbia,”

Source: Harold Forgostein, “Noted Artist Exhibits Here,” San Luis Obispo T-T, March 14, 1959, p. 8.

1976 – “Thorn on a Hill … Columbia State Historic Park … Charles Surendorf, the artist of the powerful and poetic paintings and the detailed and dramatic block prints, is home again. After a spring sojourn on the mesas of New Mexico, he is settling in once more at his ancient ramshackle house high in the poison oak of Kennebec Hill. For 30 years, Surendorf has made this gold country settlement his home, venturing often to more exotic lands – New Orleans and New Zealand, Taos and Tahiti – but always returning here … Now nearing 70 …

Arthritis is crippling his fingers… eliminating the exceptional detailed carving which characterized the linoleum and wood engravings that brought him scores of national art awards… He also has lost interest in painting the local landscapes which first drew him here in 1937… The restoration of [the historic town of] Columbia has been a thorn in Surendorf’s side for nearly two decades… In 1958 they evicted Surendorf and his art gallery from a leaky, cold, rundown Main Street building that was scheduled for remodeling…

Surendorf sold his paintings and prints from a station wagon parked along Columbia’s streets for the next two years. Following the remodeling, Surendorf returned to a portion of the structure… until the spring of 1965 [when he refused to wear 49er costume when selling] and moved studio and shop to a pair of outbuildings next to his Kennebec Hill home… Surendorf has been married twice (‘If you want to count common-law wives, I’ve been married four times’) and has fathered three daughters and a son… He lives in one of Columbia’s older homes, believed to have been built before 1853. An agnostic …

What little painting he does now consists primarily of oil portraits and watercolors of places he visits … The passions of his current life are writing and women, especially attractive young women. He is writing four books – a collection of poetry, a fantasy entitled ‘Conversations in a Goat Shed,’ a non-fiction work called ‘Oh Hell, Michelle’ and his memoirs, ‘Blue Butterflies and Pink Elephants,’ which he has finished up to date but which he does not want published until after his death… To hear him tell it, the girls in his life are as numerous and colorful as the globs of paint on his palette…,”

Leo Ward Art Glass 1973

The original Arkansas Bluebird of Happiness was created by Leo Ward at Terra Studios near Durham in Washington County. Since their introduction in 1982, over nine million bluebirds have been sold. Each bird is individually crafted from molten glass by artisans at Terra Studios and is signed and dated. Though Terra Studios creates glass birds in many colors, the bluebird has always been the most popular choice.

While living in San Diego, California, in the early 1970s, Leo Ward discovered a passion for glass blowing. Along with his wife, Rita, Ward opened a gift shop and constructed a glass furnace on the premises. When a city inspector discovered this furnace, the shop was closed, and the Wards moved to Arkansas, where Rita’s parents had retired.

In 1975, the Wards purchased ten acres of land near Durham and slowly began to establish themselves as artists. One of Ward’s creations was a little glass bird, which he began selling at the War Eagle Craft Fairin 1982. When Ward placed an advertisement for these birds in a regional magazine, The Ozarks Mountaineer, a salesman suggested the name Bluebird of Happiness.

After Ward’s bluebirds became a regional success, Rita urged him to sell the birds at hospital gift shops and was instrumental in starting a wholesale business. The Original Bluebird of Happiness is a registered trademark, and the birds have been sold at 8,000 gift stores nationwide. The bluebirds are also sold internationally and have been shipped as far away as Australia and Japan. Each bluebird is individually crafted at Terra Studios, and it has sometimes taken as many as twenty glass artisans to keep up with the demand.

The enormous popularity of Ward’s bluebirds has fueled the creativity of many artists in northwestern Arkansas. Over the years, Terra Studios has grown into a 160-acre showcase of artwork created by hundreds of artists who have worked or taken classes there. Ward retired in 2006. The bluebird business was taken over by his son John.

Terra Studios announced in November 2019 that the company would suspend production of its bluebirds indefinitely at the start of 2020 as a way to bring attention to the global problem of climate change. The blowing of glass involves a large amount of natural gas and electricity, a process that produces greenhouse gasses, and the studio continues to seek an ecological means of producing the bluebirds. In September 2022, Terra Studios opened the Bluebird Museum in its old education building.
