I keep waiting for a coherent body of photos, events, thoughts to surface (other than the car wash)…to no avail. I guess the life I’m leading is chaotic these days, so lets go anyway…we left the car wash and headed east …first stop Edgefield, a destination spot in a former poor farm…odd but true, and […]
The Louis Bunce show “Dialogue with Modernism” closed at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art Sunday, with curator Roger Hull leading one last gallery tour. Here’s Roger talking about Portland painter George Johanson’s portrait of Louis and one of Bunce’s beautiful Harold Street paintings (on the right)… and here’s a snapshot of Louis talking intently […]
Thursday was Sidney day and though it had a fort in it… it was more about trains… Harry was playing… but we got dressed and headed out… this week to Eutectic Gallery to see the “Nasty Women” show…interesting from the perspective of one who has no cultural perspective… or rather, from one who has a […]
I guess if you have read this blog a time or two you know that looking at art is a major part of my universe. Just reviewing this past week, I see all the ways art enlivens my own life and thinking and experience, and I hope this is true for you too. As we […]

The other night some artists met at Marco Polo for dinner before going to check out the new High Street Gallery (700 High Street NE…it’s around behind where Salem Paint used to be). In MY fortune cookie there were THREE fortunes…wowzer… Salem, the Capital City, doesn’t have a gallery scene really…though Salem is home to […]
Luckily there is still PLENTY of time for you to get to this stunning little show, part one of the Louis Bunce season at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art this winter, sequestered on the second floor in the print study room. This show opened November 5th and will run until January 29th…only overlapping with […]
We went to see Malia Jensen’s new show at Elizabeth Leach this morning (up until October 29th) with Sidney…he came with us to her show last year (“Homey” at Weiden & Kennedy) and loved the fox lamp and the seal and the giant cockroach…here’s a review of Sidney’s favorites from 2015… The show at Elizabeth […]
Today for me was a day of beginnings and endings… Kay Worthington and I spoke today at Chemeketa Community College at the third quilt show we have produced together. Last year we were invited by Tim Timmerman to show at George Fox University Gallery in the fall. This year we were invited by Laura Mack […]
I like the two shows at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art this fall. Today we went to hear Collections Curator Jonathan Bucci talk about the Russell Childers show of wood carvings that Bucci curated and that is on view at the Museum until the end of October. If you haven’t seen the Childers yet […]
