I’ve used the headline “Art All Day” before, and it seems to refer to a day like Thursday…a day filled up from morning to night with a wide variety of art work to consider, which for people like us is about the best possible day. We headed to Portland early and the first stop was […]
Category: 12X16 Gallery
Henk Pander, Louis Bunce, and Georgette Jones
We headed to Portland last weekend to look at art…and found some before we ever hit the galleries… Stopped in to Laura Russo to catch up with Henk Pander’s big, muscular watercolors… and while we were there R pulled out some Louis Bunce paintings as the “Louis Bunce Season” is starting up…this piece was one […]
Cary Doucette: “Foamforms” at 12×16
We zoomed into Sellwood to catch Cary Doucette’s show at 12X16 the other day, and I LOVE this new work. Cary often works with recycled or cast off materials…always to good effect. His inspiration for this work was the foam sculpture made by John Chamberlain in the 1960’s, much larger in scale. With little critical […]
Rex Amos at 12X16
You still have 4 days to get over to 12X16 Gallery to see the work of Rex Amos, showing with Eunice Parsons. His elegant chine colles, assemblages and meticulously cut collages are wonderful…and the play between Rex’s work and Eunice’s work is fascinating and fun. Rex showed last year at the Hallie Ford in a […]
Eunice Parsons & Mardy Widman at 12 X 16
Went to the artist’s reception Sunday for Eunice and Mardy and their handsome show at 12 X 16. Eunice flew the coop before I got her picture, but her truly excellent work (all NEW work) is gorgeous Mardy’s elegant squares are glowing away on the gallery walls, result of lots of experimentation and work, but…there […]
Another Art Saturday…
Up to Portland today to see some art before attending the artists’ reception at 12X16. Stopped at Elizabeth Leach Gallery to look at Malia Jensen’s “Shelved” which included bronze and cast crystal pieces and then a nice selection of Lee Kelly smaller works to compliment the big show of his work at The Portland Art […]
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:
First Friday opening, July 3
Even with the holiday, 1st Friday was fun up at 12×16 (though I have to admit 3 1/2 hours of being charming pushes the envelope a little…). Eunice and I both wrote our names on the front window (at the gallery’s request of course) and I drew the calla lillies. The crowd was friendly and […]
What a Day!
We started pretty early with all the paintings packed in the living room and packed the car and went to 12×16. Cary wasn’t there yet so we got a coffee and then in we went: First Friday opening July 3, 6-9. Artist’s reception July 12, 2-4. The show is open July 2 to August 2, […]
