Don’t forget the last “opening” down at Project Space…Wednesday September 5, 2012.

My work at Project Space is winding down. I went in on Saturday and rearranged… Here’s a quick review of what’s happening down there (and let me remind you that you can click on these small thumbnail photos to see the image in a larger format) …with another reminder that Wednesday is “First Wednesday” and […]
Friday I finished the little quilt top I’ve been working on down at Project Space (now to actually QUILT it…) and then I went to CAMP…for an hour. I visited the Art Camp held at Willamette University and watched with interest as the campers worked on small wax pieces. They were FEARLESS and willing to […]
We dropped in to see George and Phyllis yesterday and after a LOT of laughing and a cup of coffee, we went to the studio. Painter George Johanson has been commissioned to paint a painting for the newly renovated Oregon Department of Transportation Building in Salem. The painting is all done and is SMASHING…but under […]
The painter John Stahl (on the right in Manuel’s dual portrait, above) and his wife Jan were great friends of sculptor Manuel Izquierdo, R’s current subject of interest. Their friendship with Manuel started early when John was a student at the Museum Art School and Manuel was a faculty member, and lasted until Manuel’s death […]
Corrie lives in this nice Italianate house on the right… and her husband Curt is just putting the finishing touches on the workshop/garage (ground floor) and Corrie’s new studio space on the top floor…(the local Historic Landmarks Advisory Commission required them to make the windows smaller and offset the porch so the new building wouldn’t […]
I was down at Project Space today for my daily 2 hours…Friday night, June 29th is the opening for round one…5:30 to 8:30. There will be refreshments, art and music… I’m only a couple of weeks into my project so my contribution is small… Liz Bauman has been painting like a maniac…and they’re wonderful and […]
Yesterday was “Bloomsday” when all over the world (but most especially in Dublin) devotees of James Joyce celebrate the master. Salem probably was never one of the hot beds of celebration historically, but when combined with the opening of Rex Amos’ show of collage, chine colle and ephemera at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, […]
Don’t forget the Rex Amos show of elegant collages and chine colles opening Saturday. Besides the beautiful finished work, there will be plenty of ephemera to look at…a lifetime of words and images and thinking about both. Wednesday I had the fun of helping R to do the layout in the cases, which were empty […]
Photographer Alexandra Opie is spending the summer with grant support learning to make tin types…an historic but little used photographic method. She is working with her student Ariel to learn the process, so that each of them can go in a different creative direction. She invited me up to the dark room to get my […]
