Last weekend we dashed to Oakland with Jennifer and George to see Fanny…their daughter and our niece. Fanny has lived in the east bay area for about 5 years but R and I haven’t been to visit..so we had a long sunny weekend of good fun, good food and lots of art. Fanny made all […]
Well we’re ALL trying to “live in the moment”…to “lessen our screen time”…to enjoy our lives as we live them…yes? Yes. That precludes writing about these moments, but I continue to gather the images as if I WERE writing about them, and now I’m way behind. So how about trying to catch up with just […]
I never knew the Seattle painter Alden Mason (1919-2013). R is writing the biographical essay for a book about the painter funded by the Alden Mason Foundation (http://www.aldenmasonfoundation.org), with other writers discussing various areas of his work (Regina Hackett writing about the Burpee paintings, Rock Hushka writing a forward and appreciation , and Robert Ayres […]
We left Flagstaff and on Holly’s recommendation we headed to the San Francisco Peaks…and the Sunset Crater Volcano, with an archeological site on the road… a road that was rough and not the “graded dirt road” we had been promised, but well worth the trip…and then on to the NORTH RIM of the Grand Canyon…which […]
Heading north from Sierra Vista the day plan was to arrive at the Phoenix Art Museum at noon, have lunch in the nice restaurant there, look at some art and then head on north to Flagstaff with a brief stop in Sedona for supper…and we were spot on, arriving just as the museum doors opened […]
We like Palm Springs, which runs a bit against type, but that is life I guess, so goodbye Bakersfield. This trip was organized around the wish of a friend to have Roger give a toast at her wedding, taking place in far southern Arizona…Sierra Vista… where her parents live. Though the wedding itself occurred on […]
So leaving Carolyn, we headed to Bakersfield, CA… to see a set of five large paintings by Lucinda Parker, the Portland painter who R is currently writing about (and thinking curatorial thoughts about for a show in January of 2019 at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem). These paintings were a series of […]
We took a little trip back to the 1950’s this week when we headed to Palm Springs with John and Kay to see the Abstract Women Painters of the 1950’s show at the Palm Springs Art Museum. The show started in Denver and has been traveling but was in it’s last week at Palm Springs. […]
In the midst of the very busiest week of the summer we headed to Portland, met up with the art group members and mates, jumped onto Dayna and Howard’s boat “Rapture”, and headed out onto the Columbia River, heading west. When we first arrived at the slip though, I thought it might be the nightmare […]
No trips for us this summer…too much work to do…but we are thinking fondly of LAST summer when we repaired to a villa in Umbria with George, Jennifer and Fanny for a pretty fun and luxurious week which looked like this…(I’m trusting even my most stalwart readers can’t remember back this far…). R and I […]
