Last night was the annual Sponenburgh lecture presented by the Art History Department at Willamette. The speaker this year was writer/critic George Baker from LA who has been writing on the artist Paul Thek (Thek died in 1988) who was recently the subject of a career retrospective at the Whitney Museum. Baker was lively and […]

Moving on…I Hope!
The last of the doll quilts delivered today…I figured if they don’t sell I’ll have a bunch of funky place mats…for sort of a crazy-quilt table! “Vintage Fun” “For Agnes” “Double” and the larger “Crow” so, NOW, finally…into the studio I go…
BOO!!!
A little interval in my sewing marathon over here on Court Street. Yesterday we went to a concert/lecture about “classicism” as it occurs in the work of Raphael and Rossini…first the lecture by Ricardo and Marva… followed by a concert in the lobby…here Marva and Dan, but also some operatic thrills and trills (sadly missing […]
The trip East…Rochester to Boston…
First stop after leaving Rochester was Germantown, NY, to see Libby and Michael and Kierlan in their wonderful house overlooking the Hudson River…but I lost my camera the next day so, alas, I can’t show you the work they’ve done on the house, the beautiful sweeping views of the Hudson, Libby’s amazing concrete tile floors, […]
A Visit to Rochester….
Since I lost my camera on our trip east, my photo record is incomplete…and, hence, the various posts forming in my head didn’t make sense so…here we go organizing by the venues–place by place…two weeks in the east, 2011. We landed in Rochester and returned to Rochester…former fame was Kodak (which is pretty much gone […]
The Last Few Days…
Crazy days…too full…one day we zoomed to Portland for the dress rehearsal for the Oregon Children’s Theater play “Pinkalicious” (photos strictly forbidden) for which Ashton did the costumes. Before the play we visited a few favorites at the Portland Art Museum…Agnes Martin…too fabulous, and then this plaid panting knocked me out (by??…I forgot to write […]
Hess & McCulloch at Waterstone
Two old friends have a show up this month…sculptor Robert Hess showing new work in bronze, and painter Sue-Del McCulloch with her big exploded landscapes taking the space by storm: Waterstone Gallery, 424 NW 12th, Portland…up until October 30th so there’s still time to take a look…. and Saturday we went out to Sue-Del’s for […]
Housekeeping…addendum
NOTE on “HOUSEKEEPING”: David Filer contacted me yesterday to say that Finishing Line Press only publishes when it has 55 orders for a book. Should you wish a copy of a book of poems by a Portland author (cover art by a Salem artist…ahem) you can order on line. An interesting sidelight is that all […]
Housekeeping
That’s what I’m doing today…housekeeping…trying to run the software for my new camera, do the laundry, clean up the mess I left here at home while getting ready for the trip east… you know the drill, I’m sure. When we got home I attacked the bin of mail that had accumulated and there in the […]
Maya Lin at Cape Disappointment
Okay readers…I’m on the road posting messages from an iPad, and tho I love this little device it isn’t a bloggers best friend…so new vacation format: a paragraph of “discourse” and then all the photos. While in Astoria (R with the Oregon Arts Commission) we visited one of the five sites that are part of […]
