A little series of monoprints–terrible photos but I wanted to see them posted:

The “Giveaways”
It was a lovely Christmas, especially the silent snow days when you couldn’t hear the traffic or any noise at all outside…except the pitter-patter of freezing rain…eek. But today, back to work. Roger is writing labels for the Harry Widman show, and I’m putting finishing touches on the “giveaways”–two art works due Jan 10 for […]
The Matter of the Tree…
I’m thinking of past Christmases, way way back. My Uncle John arriving at 6:00 with a santa hat and sleigh bells. Nana snoring on the living room side of the door–keeping us from going in to see the tree. Putting up the huge tree on Christmas Eve…the huge tree…that is the heart of the matter. […]
The a-little-bit-boring snow saga….
I’m getting tired of all this “winter wonderland” stuff. But here we go: We got the car out, we went to the Safeway with 4-wheel-drive-Gloria, fortification arrived from friends returning from England. The food is made and the temperature is rising. I for one am looking forward to the gleaming Oregon green. But….it WAS beautiful
Monday, Snow Day.

…And then the power went out…
R working on his computer, me painting and then that sort of sickening sound—eeeeeurgh–dark, cold, ugh. I found a whole big pack if Ikea votives, a box of candles, two flashlights. Roger started a fire. We shut down the house. At 4:30 Margaret and Alisa arrived for a drink and holiday cheer. Roger took them […]
Deep Freeze!!!
So the storm started yesterday and today we are living in a meringue–hard, slick crunchy. Half the bamboo fell into Jason’s yard and half fell into our yard taking out Jason’s phone line. Oops. The camellia tipped onto the roof of the car: At 3:00 P.M. IT’S ONLY 28 degrees. We only have one bottle […]
Shop Local This Christmas
It isn’t just NYC that has great places to shop and eat. Today my shopper friend (the lovely Irene) and I started out in Salem and spent 4 hours doing our Christmas shopping without stepping into a “big box” or a chain restaurant. The day was total fun and we filled our shopping bags to […]
