On the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge there are lots of tunnels. I got sort of interested in getting the perfect tunnel shot BUT…it isn’t that easy I discovered…this is going to call for further research I can see… I vote for #3. And just to cheer us up on a gloomy November day, […]

Talking Heads…
Saturday was the day for artists talking about their work in Portland galleries…and we were on a fast track. Arrived at Laura Russo in time to hear Marlene Bauer’s witty remarks about her own terrific paintings (go see the show) and then to see Martha Lee introduce painter Henk Pander (go see the show…same gallery!) […]
Coffee…Art…
Actually I had this coffee on Thursday in Sellwood…not as professionally beautiful as stumptown, but good…just longing for it here on a gloomy Saturday morning…plus the need to post something that isn’t about the studio project… We went to a terrific show Thursday at the Marylhurst Art Gym…their 30th anniversary show…which was all portraits of […]
Herron/Rose again…
Just about a year ago I went out to Cynthia Herron’s studio with biologist/writer Sharon Rose. Cynthia was beginning a year of painting drawn from Sharon Rose’s book about watching the biological cycles at Minto island (Salem’s truly wonderful treasure of a Park). The work is complete and the show opens November 3 at the […]
Eugene Art Day…
We went to Eugene today and took in a lot of regional art from various periods. We visited the Eugene post office to see the 1943 WPA murals painted by Carl Morris (1911-1993). Morris migrated from California to Spokane in 1938 to direct the Spokane WPA Art Center. There he met Northwest School painters Guy […]
Elizabeth Bauman…Conversations…
Thursday night we went up to Mary Lou Zeek Gallery 2 to see Liz Bauman’s new paintings. The space is wonderful and though by appointment only, is one worth keeping your eye on. Elizabeth has been working hard the last few years painting, and expanding her range of narrative and media. This summer she worked […]

The Quilted Conversation…
This morning we went over to see the show of Kay’s and my quilts at Bush Barn that went up while R and I were gone. Included were the quilts Kay and I each made in “conversation” plus the one we collaborated on this summer. The show looks good but is in a dark space […]
“Tales From the Back Porch”
That’s the title of the Corrie Loomis-Dietz/Paula Portinga Booth show now on at George Fox University until October 21 in the Minthorne Gallery in the Hoover Academic Building on campus. Well worth a trip up to see it. Kay and I drove up today to hear Corrie and Paula talk about their work. The placed […]
Art Weekend…
What a fun weekend so far…art all the way. Friday night was Jon Colburn’s opening at Bush Barn, and before hand we checked out Jon’s rather wonderful studio (Jon is on the right): filled with art and artists (Jon Bunce, Cary Doucette, Jackie Johnson, Mardy Widman): and tools of the trade Eunice Parsons was there […]
