You still have 4 days to get over to 12X16 Gallery to see the work of Rex Amos, showing with Eunice Parsons. His elegant chine colles, assemblages and meticulously cut collages are wonderful…and the play between Rex’s work and Eunice’s work is fascinating and fun. Rex showed last year at the Hallie Ford in a […]

Happy Birthday Eunice!
Until July 28th, at 12X16 Gallery (8235 SE13th Ave. No.5, Portland) you can see Eunice Parsons’ new show “Sweet, Sweet Black.” And SWEET it is. All new work and absolutely beautiful.

Blueberry Chutney and “Turbulence”

I made some at the beach on the fourth and we’ve eaten it all already…yum. I got the recipe out of the “new” (2012) Oregonian cookbook (“The […]

1000!!!! Love Letter…
This is the 1000th (!!!) post I’ve made on this blog since I began in 2007…phew. That’s a lot of images and a lot of comments and a lot of fun for me. But I think I’ll use this 1000th post for a love letter to R for at least 1000 reasons, and here are […]
Avoiding Chaos/Beach Weekend…
The bathroom construction at Court Street began heating up as the week drew to a close. After the first coat of concrete in the construction of the “pan” on the shower floor, came a rubber liner, with a bucket of water in it. This had to sit for 24 hours and then be inspected…all of […]
