Went to see Alexandra Opie’s new work at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art and I thought it a stunning show… the beautiful, sepia, large format photos are playing off of her interest in old photographs and her feeling of the unsettling mystery of landscape…all used to wonderful effect in this show…really a must see…here […]

Rooms with a view…
But we began this outing with a visit to Tom Cramer’s again to see the wooden chests and boxes he makes and then a visit to his clients who have a newly made chest in place in their beautiful house where every single room is a “room with a view” and as you can tell […]
New Acquisitions…
I had a meeting today at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art and that gave me a chance to see the new acquisitions on view in the lobby this month…go take a look, but here are some (not too good…but you get the idea) photos. Jon Colburn Tom Cramer Katherine Ace Lucinda Parker and then […]
City Ephemera…
Dashed to Portland today for a couple of errands…no time even for coffee…but here were a few observations: Spring is here on Caruthers Street…a flame maple heads toward summer. Some artists have a more casual approach to storing their artwork: the diorama contest at Beulah Land is fun:
Henk Pander and Roger Hull, a Conversation

Henk & Roger at PNCA
Roger “took it on the road” last night for his “last” (I doubt this…) lecture on Henk Pander, in Portland at PNCA. Art History is always frought with technical problems, it seems, but at PNCA the excellent Bobby was totally organized and then it was “show time”! with a nice Q&A afterwords… the last chance […]

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.

Living The Creative Life: Tom Cramer
We stopped at Tom Cramer’s house/studio the other day where he’s finishing up the work for his upcoming show at the Laura Russo Gallery in May, and here’s a sneak preview of some of the work…most of it “figurative”…sort of…and wonderful: …and the house is an eyeful too…filled with Tom’s art and the work of […]
