We saw the Whiting Tennis show at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art today and I was blown away by the work. Tennis is a Seattle artist, and this is his first west coast museum show…a show beautifully curated by Jonathan Bucci. Tennis is speaking on Friday, January 24th at the museum at 5:00, with […]

Persimmon Chutney and Sunsets
From the sublime to the sublime. We came to the beach on New Year’s day with the car full of projects and books and instruments (well…a ukulele anyway) AND the last few persimmons from Richard and Juli’s big persimmon harvest this late fall. R wanted to make persimmon chutney so we looked up recipes on […]
Sunday Fun….
A varied sort of day today…art/babies/friends/family…picked up my Madras show work from Coralee and got to see the piece she bought, installed…”Tron”…looking good… Downtown to catch Sue-Del McCulloch and Katy McFadden talk about their work on view at Waterstone Gallery… but I couldn’t get past Katy’s beautiful and expressive hands… Or Alexander’s cautious flirtation… A […]
Eunice Parsons Thinking Archivally
Eunice Parsons is considering giving her “papers” (and here I mean correspondence, etc., NOT all the paper that is the raw material for collage…!) to the Pacific Northwest Artists Archive at Willamette University. The University library and the University Archivist are committed to building this collection, housing the papers of artists who have worked in […]
D.E. May at PDX, and on…
R and I jumped into the car today with Irene and Jon and headed to Portland in a TORRENTIAL downpour for the penultimate day of Dan’s show at PDX. Spare, elegant, but juicy. Wish I had made this post at the beginning of the show so you’d have had time to see it. You know, […]
Checking In-Checking Out
Busy week here with the usual wide variety of things to think about. We headed to White Salmon Wednesday for a night in the Mt. Hood room and a George Domijan dinner…plus a huckleberry G&T… Then all four of us took off for Madras for my opening. We ran into an amazing storm combination…thunder, rain […]
Friday Report…
Wow…busy week around here…but kind of a miscellaneous week to make a narrative out of… It WAS a week with ART in it though…Elizabeth, Alex and I spent two days in Corrie’s summer studio (a generous offer on Corrie’s part)…she the first artist in residence whereby the CCC gallery is turned into a big studio […]
Summer at the Hallie Ford Museum…
We went to the museum this morning to see the new show of Jacob Lawrence’s illustrations of Aesop’s Fables which opened August 3rd and runs through October 27th. The drawings were done in the late 1960’s for a book of the fables, the originals now part of the Paul G. Allen Family Collection. They are […]
Catching Up…
Summer. Got to try to live in the moment, so the narrative suffers. Here’s a digested version of what’s been happening in the far west: The beach. A week. So hot in the valley most all the beach views are misty and cool… and the sunsets were, well, muted, let’s just say… There was outside […]
Project Space 2013
Today was the first day of the three studio weeks at Project Space in 2013… and this morning the space at 365 Ferry Street SE was empty…with only master lighting/engineering trouble shooter Phil Krug there… but slowly the artists began to arrive and set up…Ann Kresge (here with technician Mike Nord): Deanna White: ME: Rollie […]
