Boy I just haven’t had time to write lately…but I’ve been doing the usual stuff…sewing, painting, birthday, beach, gardens…etc. No words tonight, just some images to catch me up.

And So a New Year Begins…
Every year since 2004 I’ve had only one resolution…”Have More Fun.” I’ve stuck to it faithfully. This year I ‘m adding a few things to the list… Get the Hull archive in order: Sort my own work, including these boxes of work on paper that just came to light: Consider getting a few very old […]
Beach weekend, and on…
Well the weekend began Friday morning with a quick trip through the…you know… then off to the beach. The weather was all over the place this weekend, providing us with many views, all beautiful, of Siletz Bay… and a variation on the usual sights…. We got out “Diploma” and “Diana”…our now almost 44 year old […]

Beehive Wednesday…

And when […]

On Saturday Roger Hull, Widman’s biographer, and Bob Shotola (Harry’s long-time friend) were at the Gallery with Harry and quite a crowd of others to have […]
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 […]
…And Speaking of Gardens…
A couple of weeks ago I spent three days in the Gaiety Hollow garden, the home garden of landscape architects Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver. The L&S Conservancy asked me to do some drawings for their upcoming fund raising campaign…a campaign to repay the generous donor who bought the house and garden, and is allowing […]
Summer Day
Coffee on the deck this morning looking down into the phlox, making me happy to be in this garden, but ESPECIALLY to have such a lovely summer day. We took a bike ride to Minto Island, where last year about this time we were picking Queen Ann’s lace for the wedding! But today…we just had […]
