In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the PNCA (Pacific NW College of Art–formerly the Museum School) George Johanson did a demonstration yesterday in the Museum. There was jazz (a bass and a guitar) and George drawing for two hours. Very mellow, very fun. Here’s how it looked: George explains the excercise. the crowd pays […]

Bonnie Hull at Project Space 2
Busy week–the 12×16 show came down and the PS 2 show went up. There’s always something going on in the studio and sometimes it’s nice to get it out into the light. This show at PS 2 shows monoprints from the “Adam and Eve” series–acrylic mono-prints with painting on top, 6 drawings from the “Obsessions” […]
The Shirt Quilt
Today I finished step one, two and three of the next quilt (or now I’m thinking the next 2 quilts): Cut up the shirts and remove all the buttons: stop for a coffee fold up the fabric and make all the left-over seams into some cool looking balls (I don’t have ANY idea what you […]
Living the Creative Life: Kay Worthington
I had to come back to the hot valley Friday, and went to see Kay this morning. She has a new studio at home, and it is nice!! She and I are both getting ready to show some new work at PS 2–opening this Wednesday. But check this out…the overall view: and from inside you […]
Last Week–the HOT Week
Last week it was 106 and 107 in the valley so many people were driven west to the beach, where it’s always cool. We went for a salmon caesar one day and looked out at this scene which looked like Coney Island to our western eyes: We’re used to seeing beaches that look like this:
The Height of Summer
This is it–the middle of the summer and a big heat wave coming. Sharon called and said to come get some dahlias as they don’t like the heat coming toward us (102) so I went over early and we picked a bouquet to take to my Mom, a lover of pink. Sharon has rigged up […]
Project Space 2
Considering the time I spend on PS 2 I’ve been oddly silent about what’s happening down at 388 State Street. Here are a few images and I’ll take some more photos this week. Project Space 2 is an ongoing community exhibition space in Salem sponsored by the Salem Art Association for fully engaged professional artists. […]
The Second Opening…7-12-09
Back up to 12 x 16 Gallery Sunday for the artist’s reception. Only two hours of charm this time and it was really fun:
Roger or Ted????
We’ve noticed in recent years that in photos Roger sometimes looks like Ted Danson and sometimes Ted looks like Roger. But this IS Roger from a newspaper article about his most recent curatorial effort–the third Mayor’s Art Show in the conference center featuring work from the collection of the City of Salem (in this case […]
Quilts in Sisters, OR
Last week was quilt week in Sisters, OR, culminating in the big outdoor quilt show Saturday. I drove over Wednesday with sister-in-law LeeAnn and quilting buddy Cynthia for some workshops and some fun. We stayed at Long Hollow Ranch about 12 miles outside of Sisters. It’s an old farm converted to a B&B with the […]
