I talked to Karen on the phone this morning, and I said I was uninspired blog-wise today. She said …”Go to the west side of the Church Street bridge over Pringle Creek, and look down. You’ll like it…” I did go, and I DID like it…you?

“Dwelling”…
Here’s the quick version of the assembling of Marie Watt’s piece “Dwelling” for her current show at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art…don’t forget the opening is Friday, March 9th! David Andersen set up this time-lapse camera and made this neat condensation of a week’s work…
Clay Ball, 2012
Last night was the13th annual “Clay Ball” wherein artists and “patrons” come together to support the arts in our community. The theme this year was the 60’s…Mad Men-inspired…and people took it seriously and came dressed for the moment… there was a photo booth with “props” lovely blondes everywhere… friends discussing auction items (…”should we go […]
Manuel Izquierdo…the hunt goes on…
First let me say that as a maker of things, I have long understood that “things” have lives of their own, separate from the life of the maker. Furniture, dishes, and most especially, art work. Thursday we spent the whole day listening to stories about art works and seeking some answers, and I can’t remember […]
Wednesday Miscellany…and Pot Roast
Wednesday was one of those good solid days…early start, many facets, lots done. But first (and actually it WAS the first thing in the day), the pot roast. We, as a rule, don’t eat red meat (…well maybe the occasional lamb chop…), but R has had a hankering for pot roast. I have only made […]
Wednesday With Manuel…
Wednesday was a long but fascinating day tracking down sculpture made by Manuel Izquierdo, R’s current “subject” (show coming at the HFMA in 2013). Our first stop was a warehouse where the collection of PNCA is stored. Included in their collection are some small clay sculptures recently donated to PNCA by Manuel’s estate. The nice […]
Quilt Update…
So much creative stuff to do, so little time…learning “brushes” on the iPad, sent off the little quilt for Baby Evelyn using left-over pieces of binding from the “Dwelling” project… and she seems to like it…(awww..so cute!) Today I have the Value-Village-sheet quilt on the design wall trying to decide if the zig-zags (I seem […]
Jamey Stillings, Henk Pander
A sunny Saturday found us in Portland to see several shows and a couple of our favorite artists. We drove straight to the new home of the Jewish Museum where there is a really lovely show of paintings by Henk Pander and mixed media pieces by former Oregon artist (now NYC artist) Esther Podemski. I […]
Rex Amos and the Wave Crest Inn…
Monday last found us in Cannon Beach with Rex and Diane Amos. You may remember (HA!?) that we visited them just about a year ago. The result of our first visit in 2011 will be a show at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art this summer (2012) of Rex’s stunning collage/Chine-colles. (OF COURSE we stopped […]
100 Artists…my favorites…
Went back to the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery today to see the Art of Communication show without all the people, and arrived during a lull in the storm of visitors…thankfully… First, my piece (well.. it IS my blog so, okay) and then my favorites…chosen by walking through the show and finding pieces that seemed to […]
