I took a bunch of my art work over to Monmouth last week for Eric Olsen’s Edward’s Addition open house, and the next day R and I went to see how it came out. The house is very nice, all on one floor, and it was total fun to see my work looking rather nice […]
So after the Umbrian idyll and saying good bye to loved ones we headed… yep…back to Florence for two lovely days. We found the restaurant Garga right near our hotel…I’d taken a cooking class from Sharon back in 2001 when the restaurant Garga was on Via del Moro…and we had a fabulous dinner… ending with […]
Right after our AMAZING group left, we began another lively and fun week. R’s sister, husband and daughter arrived and after a Florence tour (George was with us in Florence in the 1990’s, Fanny with us in 2011…all new to Jennifer) the five of us took the train to Terantola, where we picked up our […]
Our 2014 Italian adventure is complete, and what a trip it was. Though I started posting from “the road,” it became clear there was only enough time and energy to “live in the moment.” There WAS enough time and energy to take a ton of photos though…phew. The first half of the trip was with […]
I’m thinking I should change the name of the blog to “On the Move” after this week. We headed up the Gorge passing Multnomah Falls, and stopping at Boda’s Kitchen (thank you George) in Hood River for a quick and delicious lunch before crossing the bridge at The Dalles and heading east on beautiful highway […]
Tuesday quilt group met at our house this month. (The group has chosen a new name, Bobbin Along, but I still think of it as TQG…) I like this varied group of women and their kind enthusiasm for each other and for every level of work. It was fun to have them over and do […]
I was reading in the New York Times about the current controversy between Peggy Guggenheim’s heirs, and the Guggenheim Museum’s administration of the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/08/arts/design/fight-over-guggenheims-legacy-roils-her-palazzo.html?smid=fb-share&smv1&_r=0, and I feel like making a brief comment about a place I really loved. The museum is in the beautiful palazzo Guggenheim had built on the […]
A week ago we went up to the Laura Russo Gallery to see Jackie Johnson’s new show, and thought the paintings were beautiful. The colors, the symbols, the implied combo of cityscape and excavation site, were very appealing to me…take a look and then put it on your calendar…the show is up all month… the […]
Mary Lou Zeek’s pop-up gallery show opens Friday night May 9th for one week only…but what a week! From May 10th to May 16 you can visit 211 Commercial Street NE downtown from 11-5 daily to see the work of 35 of your FAVORITE local artists (including moi). Today I delivered 2 paintings, and my […]
Aislinn and Tommy’s garden is beautiful this year. She got rid of the grass a few years ago and filled the yard with natives, nurse logs, stones…and slowly filling it up and out until this year it is really gorgeous… Down at our house the “hosta hospital” (R’s special project a few years ago to […]
