Marie Watt…revisited…
I was thinking about Marie Watt today, and the fun I had in the fall of 2009 working with people in the Willamette community to help put together a piece that would eventually hang in Ford Hall on campus (she set it up like a “quilting bee” and students, administrators, and “others”…like me…came) that’s Marie […]
Rooms with a view…
But we began this outing with a visit to Tom Cramer’s again to see the wooden chests and boxes he makes and then a visit to his clients who have a newly made chest in place in their beautiful house where every single room is a “room with a view” and as you can tell […]
New Acquisitions…
I had a meeting today at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art and that gave me a chance to see the new acquisitions on view in the lobby this month…go take a look, but here are some (not too good…but you get the idea) photos. Jon Colburn Tom Cramer Katherine Ace Lucinda Parker and then […]
Henk Pander and Roger Hull, a Conversation
Sunday was the last day for Henk Pander’s splendid retrospective “Memory and Modern Life” at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. At 2:00 Henk and Roger, mostly Henk of course, talked about Henk’s work, idea methods. it was a packed house…standing room only…and pretty interesting…the crowd was responsive and asked lots of questions: and the […]
Henk & Roger at PNCA
Roger “took it on the road” last night for his “last” (I doubt this…) lecture on Henk Pander, in Portland at PNCA. Art History is always frought with technical problems, it seems, but at PNCA the excellent Bobby was totally organized and then it was “show time”! with a nice Q&A afterwords… the last chance […]

Eunice Parsons & Mardy Widman at 12 X 16
Went to the artist’s reception Sunday for Eunice and Mardy and their handsome show at 12 X 16. Eunice flew the coop before I got her picture, but her truly excellent work (all NEW work) is gorgeous Mardy’s elegant squares are glowing away on the gallery walls, result of lots of experimentation and work, but…there […]
Living The Creative Life: Tom Cramer
We stopped at Tom Cramer’s house/studio the other day where he’s finishing up the work for his upcoming show at the Laura Russo Gallery in May, and here’s a sneak preview of some of the work…most of it “figurative”…sort of…and wonderful: …and the house is an eyeful too…filled with Tom’s art and the work of […]
Henk Pander on the McCall Portrait…
An intrepid band of the general public met today at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art to watch a video made in 2002 about Henk Pander and the painting of his 1982 portrait of Governor Tom McCall, and then to take walk over to the State Capitol Building to look at the painting. We were […]
