One of the most fun parts of the Alaska cruise for me (a former restaurant owner) was the “Galley tour” where we got to see the kitchens on the cruise ship Infinity. The ship carries a staff of 950 of which 150 or so are kitchen personnel. Everything is made on board, including all pastries […]

“The Mystery Project”
You know I really like Art House Coop and their Sketchbook Project. But all spring I’ve also been doing some of their weekly projects, that have been fun and very amusing. The current one is called “The Mystery Project.” I received a nice Prismacolor marker in the mail along with the instructions which included a […]
Spring is Here…
I’m taking off for Alabama early tomorrow…a quick turn around the yard today to see if spring is really here…it is! a quick coffee… and something to ponder on my trip…interesting things to do with fruit…see you soon!
Betty Feves, James Lavadour
We had an interesting couple of days in the city…saw a good show of eastern Oregon artist Betty Feves’ clay work at Contemporary Craft and the show “Betty Feves: Generations ” is open until July, so you have plenty of time to go take a look. My favorite was this piece called “Six Figures” and […]
Leftovers…
…and I don’t mean pot roast. There are always great shots left over, images that didn’t exactly fit into the discourse of the week, but that hold my attention anyway…here are a few from the week just past with no explanations at all…
Manuel Izquierdo…the hunt goes on…
First let me say that as a maker of things, I have long understood that “things” have lives of their own, separate from the life of the maker. Furniture, dishes, and most especially, art work. Thursday we spent the whole day listening to stories about art works and seeking some answers, and I can’t remember […]
Wednesday Miscellany…and Pot Roast
Wednesday was one of those good solid days…early start, many facets, lots done. But first (and actually it WAS the first thing in the day), the pot roast. We, as a rule, don’t eat red meat (…well maybe the occasional lamb chop…), but R has had a hankering for pot roast. I have only made […]
100 Artists and the Ukelele
We’ve been away for a few days…more on that tomorrow. Today, though, was a Salem day. Did I tell you I started playing the Ukelele? Really…too much fun..Sharon and Carol and I go to class at 8:00 a.m….practically the middle of the night for some of us…(me mostly)…Carol has a cute red uke she got […]
“About Town” in a Rainy Week
Meeting yesterday to plan this summer’s “Project Space 4” (check here for Project Space 3)…the usual culprits and some new faces… with unique seating possibilities offered… Today out to lunch at the restaurant located where “Morton’s” used to be… It’s called “Broken Bread” and here’s the menu…same staircase but new interior paint: I had the […]
Don Olsen, Helmet Art…See See Coffee
I drove up the pike again Saturday for Don Dagg’s birthday party (Happy Birthday Don!), followed by a visit to Don Olsen‘s studio sale where we shopped big, and then headed to 1642 Sandy Blvd. to See See Motorcycle company. Just opened by owner Thor Drake, on view right now are twenty one motorcycle helmets […]
