We’re getting ready…enjoying having all the usual stuff out again… Adding some festive touches… But kid-wise, it’s a dinosaur Christmas…and we’ve brought in the big guns… We’ve had a book here that Sidney always has liked and in the low-shopping mode this year I thought maybe I’d wrap it up and give it to him […]
…as we like to think, but there’s always a bit more coming at us. Here we are at the end of the 26th week of quarantine. I now own at least 15 masks of varying types to go with any outfit, except I don’t need outfits because I don’t go anywhere…but…I might? We have managed […]
Just some words from other people for you today…William Stafford (thanks Jennifer) You Reading This, Be Ready Starting here, what do you want to remember? How sunlight creeps along a shining floor? What scent of old wood hovers, what softened sound from outside fills the air? Will you ever bring a better […]
I’ve always loved comics. When I was a kid Uncle Vern sent me a subscription to Donald Duck Comics and though I found those particular comic books not totally interesting, I was immediately in love with the format. By the time I was 10 I was spending lots of my hard-earned babysitting money on comic […]
Here’s a drawing I made this week at the Annex at Salem Art Associations Bush Barn Art Center, where I was Artist in Residence for the last three weeks. My residency was to continue until March 31st but with “social distancing” now in play, and being in the at-risk age group, I packed up today… […]
Whaat? It’s August 1st? Hi…it’s been a while. My exhibit is over and I’ve navigated the often-post-show let-down…and in checking my photo file I see a lot has happened but I’m speechless on this subject so I’ll just roll out some images thereby proving summer is summer, mine not too different from yours…beach, garden, family…occasional […]
So Roger Hull not only writes the books and curates the shows, he also delivers books to various places (“distributor”added to his CV) and Thursday we headed to Augen Gallery with some books for the upcoming George Johanson show this spring. Augen Gallery wasn’t open yet, so we went next door to the Froelick Gallery […]
I’ve been hit hard this flu season…three weeks at Christmas and three more weeks in Jan/Feb. Thank goodness for quilts (this one made by my friend Sharon) and books… …and if you haven’t read Colin Meloy’s YA adventure “Wildwood,” consider it…the main locale is Portland and it is a VERY fun read…here are the maps […]
Until December 2nd you have a chance to see Lucinda Parker’s new paintings at the Russo Lee Gallery (805 NW 21st Street in Portland)…most done in the last three months. The show is entitled “Knowledge is Not Our Enemy” which sounds possibly political, but isn’t. It’s about mountains…most specifically our own MT. Hood. This morning […]
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, […]
