Here are the artists Sandra Loy (sloy) and Dave Nichols (nic) in a photo taken by their good friend painter Rob Bibler (with painter April Waters taking a view in the gallery tonight). She a writer/artist and he a painter/sculptor. For years they have been making art in Salem, art of a personal and terrific […]
Heading north from Sierra Vista the day plan was to arrive at the Phoenix Art Museum at noon, have lunch in the nice restaurant there, look at some art and then head on north to Flagstaff with a brief stop in Sedona for supper…and we were spot on, arriving just as the museum doors opened […]
So leaving Carolyn, we headed to Bakersfield, CA… to see a set of five large paintings by Lucinda Parker, the Portland painter who R is currently writing about (and thinking curatorial thoughts about for a show in January of 2019 at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem). These paintings were a series of […]
I know there is possibly nothing worse than other people’s trip stories, but hey…my blog. (My readership is down to virtually nothing anyway, so why not??!) Please skip happily over this. After a long hot summer, I set off on a trip which began with five days in the studio of my oldest friend Carolyn […]
A couple of weeks ago we hit the road to Seattle with stops along the way. I had mending, R drove and we zoomed north along with scary log trucks, heading to Longview, Washington. R is deep into the manuscript he is preparing for a monograph on Portland painter Lucinda Parker, which will be published […]

After the quilters left, I headed for coffee and a moment to regroup… I was off to Camp Sherman on the Metolius River where Katy and family have a cabin. For the last few years our Salem Art Group (SAG) has gone over to Camp Sherman annually to gather, make art, talk about making art, […]
My blog posts have fallen off (and so have my statistics!)…maybe blogs are going the way of all things in this fast world of ours? My need to provide a narrative thread for this blog is slipping as I do more and more on Instagram…quick image, one line…done. The trouble with it is you have […]
For a couple of years an intrepid group of local artists has been participating one Saturday a month in what is an international movement of urban sketchers…very casual, very fun. Each month they draw at a different location…I’ve dropped in and out, but decided to join today, even though the weather was iffy…(58 degrees on […]
We took a little trip back to the 1950’s this week when we headed to Palm Springs with John and Kay to see the Abstract Women Painters of the 1950’s show at the Palm Springs Art Museum. The show started in Denver and has been traveling but was in it’s last week at Palm Springs. […]
