A varied sort of day today…art/babies/friends/family…picked up my Madras show work from Coralee and got to see the piece she bought, installed…”Tron”…looking good… Downtown to catch Sue-Del McCulloch and Katy McFadden talk about their work on view at Waterstone Gallery… but I couldn’t get past Katy’s beautiful and expressive hands… Or Alexander’s cautious flirtation… A […]

Pear Upside Down Cake
It’s fall. NO doubt about it. On the counter today was this bowl of pears at perfection… and the kids are coming so…I found a recipe from a few Thanksgivings ago…”Upside-Down Cardamom-Pear Cake” which I remember was delicious… You might want to give it a try. It came from Cooking Light back in 2006… 2 […]
Eunice Parsons Thinking Archivally
Eunice Parsons is considering giving her “papers” (and here I mean correspondence, etc., NOT all the paper that is the raw material for collage…!) to the Pacific Northwest Artists Archive at Willamette University. The University library and the University Archivist are committed to building this collection, housing the papers of artists who have worked in […]
D.E. May at PDX, and on…

Well during our visit this month, the history of Kenosha […]
Fall Reading…

In addition to our anniversary, this weekend was Z’s birthday. Lucky for us, though rain was predicted, we got a bonus warm and sunny Saturday. […]
Chicago Visit
We were gone last week and spent most of the week in Kenosha, Wisconsin…and more about that next time. The last day of the trip though, we headed into Chicago in order to see the new modern wing on the Art Institute, designed by Renzo Piano and built since our last trip…and a timely trip […]
Checking In-Checking Out
Busy week here with the usual wide variety of things to think about. We headed to White Salmon Wednesday for a night in the Mt. Hood room and a George Domijan dinner…plus a huckleberry G&T… Then all four of us took off for Madras for my opening. We ran into an amazing storm combination…thunder, rain […]
