Regional artist Carl Hall left a wealth of material behind for his family to deal with after his death in 1996. His wife and daughters have generously donated paintings to many institutions in the Pacific Northwest, sold much work, and sorted and re-formatted more. Still…Carl was prolific and there is the fantastically interesting archival material […]

Happy Birthday Harry!
We started Sunday at the beach… but quickly jumped in the car, and headed home to get ready for Harry’s 84th birthday party. LUCKILY I can sew in the car (…and no, I wasn’t driving…) I’m still working on the spring quilt…trying to finish before summer gets here! The sky was so beautiful today…. We […]
“Making a Mark: Drawing in Oregon”
If you’re down Corvallis way you still have 2 more weeks to see the nice drawing show “Making a Mark: Drawing in Oregon” at the Corvallis Art Center (700 SW Madison Ave)…up until May 18th. Of course I WOULD say it’s a nice show because I have some drawings in it, but actually…it really is […]
“Map of the Table”
Just finishing up my most recent sketchbook project book in preparation for sending it off to the Brooklyn Art Library…maybe it will come to Portland this summer on the Sketchbook Tour??! One more page to go but thought I’d just put it on here today…it’s called “Map of the Table” and I’ve been dragging it […]
FOR SALE
Okay…our little enclave at the beach is just so…well…adorable. Especially our street, Ebb Street… which includes our house, Mary Lou and Alan’s, Terry and LuAnn’s, Wee Packum Inn, Jim & Carol’s and nearby David and Susan, and Sharon… we’re just around the corner from Josephine Young Park which is right on the Bay… In the […]
Saturday Catch-up…
Wow… a busy three days have zoomed by over here in the far west. In chronological order (I’m influenced by an art historian here…) it looked like this…celebrate Jim’s birthday (and it was a major one…) have breakfast with artists…good talk, good breakfast… go get LAST (5th) cast removed, into “the boot”, and actually SEE […]
Obsessed by Pattern
I’ve always been a little obsessed by pattern. In fabric, floors, clouds, food…the patterns always emerge. One part of quilting I love is just looking at the fabrics and taking all the patterns in… Part of getting back into the studio after a hiatus is looking at past work… …and I immediately saw all the […]
BUSY WEEK…
We zoomed to Portland this past week for a sleep-over…the weather was mostly like that pictured in this Michael Brophy painting… but spirits were high anyway. We visited Sara, checked in to our hotel of choice and headed over to Henk’s opening at Laura Russo. The paintings are gorgeous, big, full of drama. (As it […]
I’m Rolling!
Well, sort of… Here’s my new best friend Hugo… and today was my first day out…(though I went to the dentist and a meeting, so not really a GLAMOROUS day out…but, a day out all the same.) And a day out on my feet for the first time since December 4th. In between I went […]
Lamp # 2
Of course there’s a lamp on the other side of the bed too..an inexpensive IKEA or Target lamp with a now glaringly white and spotted shade…CRYING OUT to become one of a pair… and it looks good too…but I’m stopping here… though it is making me want to go around the house with a critical […]
