We made a quick stop at the Multnomah County Library the other day for research purposes. Up in the Rare Book Room we were able to look at some WPA photos of the Oregon Federal art Projects. First, in these images of the Portland office, R noticed three Louis Bunce paintings on the wall (Bunce […]
Still raining… and after we heard Jackie Johnson speak, we dashed over to Augen Gallery to hear George Johanson talk about his beautiful show of 24 reductive prints he’s been working on for a year or two… We had visited his studio about a year ago and saw the set up and method and the […]
Dodging raindrops was not an option yesterday as we headed north to hear Jackie Johnson talk about her new work at the Laura Russo Gallery…it was POURING! The show opened last week and runs through March…terrific new paintings and Saturday Jackie was on hand to talk about the work. Even though as an artist […]
Well this gallery gig is interesting and fun, but goodness a month comes around fast! Thursday Dayna, Tory and I put up the new show, “Just Tulips”, and lest you think it’s ALL work, check us out…(these two are a little scary…) Dayna went BOLD… Tory went whimsical…(this one sold already!!) and this one is […]
Well busy, yep, but sick…that nasty chest cold stuff going around. We retreated to the beach where we could cough in unison, we discovered…and be restored… We even got well enough to do a little pruning…the wisteria for instance… no need to cut the rosemary back…the fence guy took care of that… all that’s left…for […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Here in the Northwest it’s chilly and overcast…just about the perfect day to run around doing a few errands and then COFFEE! Archive Bar and Coffee was hopping today and Bigwig Donuts were down there, as well as Ponderosa and Thyme… Coffee first and then a bouquet for a loved one to […]
After a long park visit, a quick stop to see Otto at Duplex Gallery and check the new show…including this piece by Shiloh Castello… and this piece reminding me of my childhood…now don’t get me wrong readers, I had loving parents who made my brothers and me into creative people BUT…or should I say BUTT…they […]
Okay, month two. The show “Light as Air” is up and the gallery continues to look fresh and lively. We have realized that by the time our lease is up in October we probably will have figured everything out, but we’re stepping slowly (but lively) at this point. Once again we each just showed up […]
The interesting thing about living with an art historian, if you are an artist, is the parallels, juxtapositions…the “pairs” that art historians see around them. All the time. Last night I got out the work I’ll be taking down to the Compass Gallery tomorrow to hang the new show (more about that later, no doubt) […]
I stopped at Salem Art Associations Bush Barn Gallery yesterday to check progress on the work going on at the annex… where I was lucky enough to be the first AIR in 2010…they’re adding an elevator which will allow those of us with mobility problems to more easily reach the gallery, a project I support […]
