I’m thinking I should change the name of the blog to “On the Move” after this week. We headed up the Gorge passing Multnomah Falls, and stopping at Boda’s Kitchen (thank you George) in Hood River for a quick and delicious lunch before crossing the bridge at The Dalles and heading east on beautiful highway […]
It’s been four years since sculptor Robert Hess died and I’ve been thinking about him this week. I thought maybe I’d republish this blog post I wrote at the time of his death because I still appreciate him and miss him, I can still here his funny, hearty voice, and I like the thought of […]
Tuesday quilt group met at our house this month. (The group has chosen a new name, Bobbin Along, but I still think of it as TQG…) I like this varied group of women and their kind enthusiasm for each other and for every level of work. It was fun to have them over and do […]
A week ago we went up to the Laura Russo Gallery to see Jackie Johnson’s new show, and thought the paintings were beautiful. The colors, the symbols, the implied combo of cityscape and excavation site, were very appealing to me…take a look and then put it on your calendar…the show is up all month… the […]
Mary Lou Zeek’s pop-up gallery show opens Friday night May 9th for one week only…but what a week! From May 10th to May 16 you can visit 211 Commercial Street NE downtown from 11-5 daily to see the work of 35 of your FAVORITE local artists (including moi). Today I delivered 2 paintings, and my […]
A few weeks ago Portland quilter and quilt collector Bill Volckening (wonkyworld) invited me to come and see his quilt collection, and as it happened my friend Tennessee quilter Mary Keasler (Fiberliscious) was going to be in town this week, so I asked Bill if I could bring Mary along. Wednesday was the day, and […]
Well I’ve been a little sick (something I ate I guess….) and my activities have been curtailed. My brain has been barely functional with only a few rational thoughts…(Mary Lou Zeek’s “Pulse” show coming up May 9-16…Sidney…laundry)… ABSOLUTELY NO organized thoughts about blogs or reading or singing or EVEN playing the ukulele. So here, though, […]
Make a point of seeing Heidi Preuss Grew’s new show of work in clay at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, up until May 11, 2014. The work is funny, beautiful, sad, mysterious…thought provoking. The narrative thread is strong, and yesterday I went to hear her talk about her work in the gallery, hoping she […]
Portland Art day…had to pick up my birthday painting…a little painting by David Selleck called “Doplar Radar” which totally cracks me up (you’d have to know my family and their love of weather reporting)… and then on to see Lee Kelly at Elizabeth Leach…and they are handsome, but we were completely beguiled by the platforms […]
My last birthday celebration was today, for this year anyway…a delicious lunch, a beautiful pavlova, and a present that matched my outfit… and after laughing a lot and giving my heartfelt thanks, we whisked away to Portland. David Savinar of the Rain Agency and President of the Maryhill Museum board, along with trustees Anne […]
