The fun goes on. A couple of days in the city with the first event being DE May’s opening at PDX Gallery. An elegant strong show of beautiful work, sort of holds the gallery up to the light. The show combines 2-d “template drawings” with 3-d constructions…some using found objects some constructions..both with Dan’s mastery […]

Cassandra Jones at PNCA…
I forgot to mention the show in the Project Space Gallery at PNCA…up until January 10, 2011. The work of Cassandra Jones has some terrific images including my favorite…I forgot to write down the title (reporting skills go south for lack of coffee…)
Another Art Saturday…
Up to Portland today to see some art before attending the artists’ reception at 12X16. Stopped at Elizabeth Leach Gallery to look at Malia Jensen’s “Shelved” which included bronze and cast crystal pieces and then a nice selection of Lee Kelly smaller works to compliment the big show of his work at The Portland Art […]
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!) […]
A BEAUTIFUL DAY…
Went up to Bird’s Hill for lunch today and what a relief to have a little respite from politics and campaign ads and results that make us sad. Martha has beautiful views and though it doesn’t show up in the photo, MT Hood was right in the middle: Everything at Bird’s Hill is beautiful, serene, […]
BOO!!!!!!
Went to brunch today at the Hands On Cafe at Oregon College of Art & Craft with the Widmans and the Munros, to see the beautiful new Charles Rose designed buildings at OCAC…AFTER a wonderful brunch, of course. Our host: and the three incarnations of Mardy Widman (who recently retired after 27 years at OCAC) […]
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 […]
George Johanson at PNCA
Up to PNCA this evening to hear George talk about “Seven Decades as a Painter” at the PNCA alumni evening: There was a reception and all of George’s paintings to contemplate…and then the lights went down and we were welcomed by college president Tom Manley and then it was George’s turn: George graduated from the […]
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 […]
