After a long park visit, a quick stop to see Otto at Duplex Gallery and check the new show…including this piece by Shiloh Castello… and this piece reminding me of my childhood…now don’t get me wrong readers, I had loving parents who made my brothers and me into creative people BUT…or should I say BUTT…they […]
Krewe du Cascadia went all out today with a Fat Tuesday lunch at Max Marbles with all the favorites…grits, hoppin’ john, creole mac and cheese, etouffe, red beans and rice with spicy sausage, cornbread, beignets (made by Tory)…. q beer of course… Music… King cake…and Tory got the baby…(which means she has to bring the […]
Okay, month two. The show “Light as Air” is up and the gallery continues to look fresh and lively. We have realized that by the time our lease is up in October we probably will have figured everything out, but we’re stepping slowly (but lively) at this point. Once again we each just showed up […]
The interesting thing about living with an art historian, if you are an artist, is the parallels, juxtapositions…the “pairs” that art historians see around them. All the time.

Did you ever have a day when you just DID NOT want to go out? Last Thursday for me… I wasn’t “unwell” exactly, and my mother is far beyond my reach, but it was a matter of comfort. I needed a day of doing small things. Getting some envelopes ready to mail… packing away Christmas… […]
I really like Duplex Gallery at 219 NW Couch Street in Portland. I first tried to go there last year on a Saturday to see a show that interested me, only to find they are open Monday through Friday from 9-5…business hours. This fall and winter Duplex Gallery has loomed large on our list of […]
Back in 2008 I started a little drawing book in which I would only record my coffees. For a couple of years it got buried in a pile of drawing books, but eventually was rescued…it started like this… and home again it became a sort of journal of my travels around town… trips to the […]
Wasn’t that nice?? I just loved the whole week nothing at all to do…well, stuff to do for sure, but without the need to FOCUS…as I’m always reminding myself to do. When we got to the beach I noted some of the poems that arrive occasionally on the fridge… so we took it to heart…two […]
Coffee, errands, chasing the sunset home…
I have to say, this is a favorite day…the frantic rush of presents and baking is over, the dust settles, you can put on your new flannel shirt and be cozy, peruse your Christmas books. Best of all when it falls on Saturday and nobody has to go anywhere. Whether your Christmas was one of […]
