I’m sort of in love with red duct tape, which I have been for some years…ever since Sam’s shoes. But Kay has this piece she’s been working on that absolutely knocks me out. Today I saw it in finished form: She finished it off just before she broke her thumb (table saw kick-back). I’d like […]

Birthday Boy
Today Roger turned 40 again and the whole weekend was devoted to small celebrations . It was sunny and beautiful at the beach so the weekend was organized around whatever the birthday person wanted to do. Beach walk of course: and the beach full of spindrift: it was warm and sunny and calm–he didn’t even […]
Cutler City Urban Renewal
We checked out the results of Urban renewal funds this weekend at the beach and they include: a new pump house slightly nicer than most of the homes in Cutler City a new cross walk to the beach access: a new beach acess: and even the sewer grate is pretty good looking: There’s a new […]
Art Movements…
Is this concrete surrealism…????
The Day Itself…
Here’s a vacation blog day…no art today…only family. Sometimes I have to post stuff just my family wants to see since they are my most loyal readers!! We had a great Thanksgiving and much laughing and carrying on and eating good food. (There is nothing like a family that can cook!!) Highlights besides food included […]
Getting Ready II
So yesterday was busy with preparations. We made the cottage studio into a B & B Zach came and made some bread with this loaf looking like a squashed legionnaire face and while Zach and I chopped up about 300 vegetables, Roger put on the tablecloth and rounded up the chairs. This morning Zach was […]
Getting Ready…

Today I began to make the lists, think of the “sides” we’ll eat and enjoy, and polish the silver. It wasn’t a pretty sight: And as I stood at the sink, with my hands in the […]
The Stormy weekend
Sheets of rain, sheets! Wind, wind-tunnel wind. Cold. Ugh. But dashing back to the car in the rain after a restaurant dinner there was this amazingly beautiful sidewalk thing happening. I wonder what makes some cement…I think maybe newer cement…hold the image of leaves? Beautiful though, however it happens.
Mary Lou Zeek Space Two
The new space opened up last night with a show of the work of painter John Vandreal who mentored Willamette Student Rachel Sabin in the art of oil painting. Mary Lou and Alan (mostly Alan on the building front…) have built a new space for special exhibitions and the space was jammed last night and […]
Stephan Soihl at Blackfish Gallery
We stopped at Blackfish Gallery Sunday to see Steve Soihl and to watch his newest kinetic sculpture dance through its paces. A beautiful combination of clear tubing filled with various weights and colors of motor and machine oil, the parts twist and turn and move like a Malevich painting come to life. It’s on view […]
