Hi readers…it’s been two months since my last bulletin, and I’ll have to hustle to post this as October is about to become Hull birthday month, also known at November. I’ve been musing about why I rarely post on this blog anymore…the answer is Instagram. No narrative, just images…but the Snail Blog has provided me […]

Disjecta/Burrasca
We headed north today to drop off a piece of mine as donation to the silent auction at Disjecta (November 16th)… and to see the current Biennial on view at Disjecta Contemporary Art Center (8371 N. Interstate). From 1949 to 2010 the Biennial was at the Portland Art Museum, but more recently has been on […]
The Dinner Challenge
Again this year a Portland friend sent out this fun dinner challenge invitation… “You have been randomly selected to participate in my summer dinner challenge. I will cook for 5 nights in a row…Tuesday August 27-Saturday August 31 for any number of people as long as they RSVP . My Rules: 1. I will not go to […]
Summer 2019
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 […]
Living in the Summer Moment…
Well we’re ALL trying to “live in the moment”…to “lessen our screen time”…to enjoy our lives as we live them…yes? Yes. That precludes writing about these moments, but I continue to gather the images as if I WERE writing about them, and now I’m way behind. So how about trying to catch up with just […]
The Back Door is Open…
Spring is finally here…the tree peony is opening! Certainly the queen of this garden… Live in the moment we read everywhere…and the moments delight us, amaze us, amuse us and sadden us ..which I guess is the point? The moments ARE the life? In a strange way maybe that’s what blogging is about for me…grabbing […]
The Return of Sidney Day…Yay!
Well it’s been two months since our last “Sidney Day” and the start of full time school. We’ve only managed one visit in that time, and I have been missing the weekly view into this energetic life. But…hooray…we’re back on track for our mostly-weekly visits. We picked Sidney up at school Monday and saw his […]
Camp Sherman Retreat
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, […]
City Day
Saturday we left home early to hear George Johanson talk about his new show at Augen Gallery (in the DeSoto Building)…the paintings are lovely and lively, as is the painter. I particularly liked this self portrait…(just above George’s head in the upper left of the painting is Louis Bunce’s life mask, which hangs in George’s […]
WINTER!!!
Yep…it has been sort of winter-quiet here…head colds, PT, stuff. Not much shopping this year, but the trees are up… and today…SNOW! The elf drove me out and about… the first camellia was unceremoniously dislodged and here’s how it looked from 12:30 on: but we got home in time for a coffee and a fireside […]
