Portrait Unveiling…
Back to reality today, and art reality comes first. We joined a large crowd at the Oregon State Capitol building… to witness the unveiling of the new portrait of soon-to-be-former governor Ted Kulongoski by Portland artist Eduardo Fernandez (note the painting covered with a black cloth behind the podium) There many speeches, many thank-you’s, the […]
Living the Creative Life: Henk Pander
On Sunday I rode along when R took the galleys for the book up to Henk for “color correction”… I like going to Henk’s warm and textural house, filled with art and flowers (always still-life-worthy flowers)… But before they jumped into the manuscript we went out to the studio to see the paintings he has […]
…A Foggy Day…
Friday when Sharon and I took off for the Knight Library in Eugene it was sooo foggy… even the sun didn’t make a difference… We were heading to the Knight Library at U of O which houses the archive of drawings of landscape architects Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver. Sharon and I are curating a […]
Related only by color…
Guess I’m staying pretty quiet this week…not too much happening in my world so maybe the stuff right at home base gets looked at. First out in the studio playing around with Christmas card designs then after trimming the wisteria I noticed these little roses twining in the rosemary POURING cold rain tonight…off to bed.

In the quilting world people are always coming up with interesting things to do with scraps and the window designs downtown this season have some fabulous displays. Here’s Anthropologie’s Christmas window and a FANTASTIC color display Plus this shop […]
Birthday Week, Day 2
The fun goes on. A couple of days in the city with the first event being DE May’s opening at PDX Gallery. An elegant strong show of beautiful work, sort of holds the gallery up to the light. The show combines 2-d “template drawings” with 3-d constructions…some using found objects some constructions..both with Dan’s mastery […]
Cassandra Jones at PNCA…
I forgot to mention the show in the Project Space Gallery at PNCA…up until January 10, 2011. The work of Cassandra Jones has some terrific images including my favorite…I forgot to write down the title (reporting skills go south for lack of coffee…)
Another Art Saturday…
Up to Portland today to see some art before attending the artists’ reception at 12X16. Stopped at Elizabeth Leach Gallery to look at Malia Jensen’s “Shelved” which included bronze and cast crystal pieces and then a nice selection of Lee Kelly smaller works to compliment the big show of his work at The Portland Art […]
