Part one of the Manuel Izquierdo show is up at the Hallie Ford Museum of art in the study gallery and the print study room upstairs. It will be up until mid-February, so you’ll have plenty of time to see the work. On January 18th the big main floor galleries will open with a retrospective […]

Celebrating Roger Hull
Born in Tennessee, spending his first year in Brooklyn, growing up in Salamanca, NY, and then Wallace, ID…Roger was on the move early. The oldest of six children, he had at least a couple of years on his own before the others arrived… Maybe that’s enough of the story except to say he is a […]
The Manuscript Arrives!!!
Writing a book is a long and often arduous process…in R’s case a lot of fact-checking and just sitting and thinking, talking with friends/relatives/colleagues of the subject, arranging for photos to be taken, talking to collectors…LONG. But there are a few terrifically exciting moments and one such is the day the proofs arrive…TODAY for instance. […]
Functioning in the Heat…
R is high-functioning, as you know. Heat doesn’t seem to stop him. He doesn’t sit around complaining like some of us (ahem)…he just keeps on going. Here he is dancing with his cousin Lisa at Zach’s wedding (102 AT LEAST!) (The two of them used to write novels together when they were growing up in […]
Happy Birthday Nadia!
Today was Nadia‘s birthday, and she was visiting all the way from Tunisia…(check her cool jacket, which she made…) She didn’t come all this way to visit me though…she grew up in Salem and is in Oregon visiting her family. Luckily she hitched a ride to Salem with her sister-in-law today and we shared work […]
The trip East…Rochester to Boston…
First stop after leaving Rochester was Germantown, NY, to see Libby and Michael and Kierlan in their wonderful house overlooking the Hudson River…but I lost my camera the next day so, alas, I can’t show you the work they’ve done on the house, the beautiful sweeping views of the Hudson, Libby’s amazing concrete tile floors, […]
PASTA!
R found this 2008 Martha Stewart Everyday Food magazine in the basket of old magazines…and it yielded up this super easy, light and very fresh tasting recipe…we had it last night with halibut from the fish guy…try it, you’ll like it… 8 oz. pasta (she used gemelli, we used farfalle) 3 medium yellow summer squash […]
Henk & Roger at PNCA
Roger “took it on the road” last night for his “last” (I doubt this…) lecture on Henk Pander, in Portland at PNCA. Art History is always frought with technical problems, it seems, but at PNCA the excellent Bobby was totally organized and then it was “show time”! with a nice Q&A afterwords… the last chance […]
Henk Pander on the McCall Portrait…
An intrepid band of the general public met today at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art to watch a video made in 2002 about Henk Pander and the painting of his 1982 portrait of Governor Tom McCall, and then to take walk over to the State Capitol Building to look at the painting. We were […]
Presentation is all…
Every year R goes to the beach for a week before Christmas for his “winter retreat” which includes reading books, taking beach walks, drinking some scotch and…putting together some wacky and wonderful Christmas gifts. His wrappings sometimes include plastic vegetable bags, shells, unidentifiable items that are familiar yet not…boxes, tins, plastic containers. These are imaginative […]
