One reason we went to Seattle was to see the Picasso show…a whole range of work remaining in his collection at his death. All the museums we visited this weekend have changed their photo policy, allowing photos in the museums…but NOT (as you might have guessed) at the Picasso show…so all I can show you […]

New Year, New Decade….
Starting both “on the edge”…a twenty year tradition. After the New Year’s Eve revelry at the beach…(we stayed up til 3:00 a.m.!) we had a quiet day today, with a view of the bay: a coffee with Hans’ SUPERIOR foam: a view of the bay from a different vantage point: a stop at the fish […]
…The Day After….
It was…indeed…a perfect Christmas…for all the right reasons. Preparing for the season was fun and lively. Even the shortest and darkest days were sweet…BUT, I have to admit…today starts a season I really look forward to as much as the holidays. We head toward the light, new art work begins in earnest, the possibilities for […]
Eunice Parsons at Luke Dolkas
Eunice Parsons is a woman of such talent and focus it often takes my breath away. I wrote about her in May 2009 and a studio visit R made to see her work. Today a new show of small collages opens at Luke Dolkas art & framing (2707 SE Belmont) and I zoomed by Friday […]
City Day…
Day three of the birthday week was a wandering sort of day…looking, maybe a little shopping. In the quilting world people are always coming up with interesting things to do with scraps and the window designs downtown this season have some fabulous displays. Here’s Anthropologie’s Christmas window and a FANTASTIC color display Plus this shop […]
MAD Chapter 2
It’s sooooo cold here today. I went by the creek planting site this morning on my way back from the last Thanksgiving errands, and though all the holes were neatly dug, the planters weren’t there…too cold I thought: but on our way to coffee we did a quick drive by just in case and found […]
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!) […]
Coffee…Art…
Actually I had this coffee on Thursday in Sellwood…not as professionally beautiful as stumptown, but good…just longing for it here on a gloomy Saturday morning…plus the need to post something that isn’t about the studio project… We went to a terrific show Thursday at the Marylhurst Art Gym…their 30th anniversary show…which was all portraits of […]
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 […]
City Moment…
Just into the city for overnight but long enough to visit the home of great coffee…the original Stumptown on Division Even at 7:00 a.m. and in a paper cup they make a beautiful coffee and then I saw a quonset remodel of note. These pictures are both out of focus due to the low lght, […]
