MY LIFE SO FAR
I published this on my birthday in 2009, but I still think it tells my story so let’s go again!! Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places to go. But today I’m looking back. (I tried to cut my own bangs–oops.) For a few years […]
Broadway Coffee…
Okay, I decided to give them another chance and the coffee I got today was delicious… but only “okay” in the pretty department (tho when she saw me taking the picture she said “Oh if I had known you were taking a picture I’d have made it prettier”…?) the place is cavernous but pleasant…it has […]
Spring Walk Off…
I was looking at a favorite blog yesterday (Local Ecologist) and Georgia was talking about the Winter Walk Off challenge on Les’ blog A Tidewater Gardener…start off on your own two feet, walk around your neighborhood and take some photos…of course I missed the closing date and season change (typical…) so instead of the Winter […]
Eunice Parsons & Mardy Widman at 12 X 16
Went to the artist’s reception Sunday for Eunice and Mardy and their handsome show at 12 X 16. Eunice flew the coop before I got her picture, but her truly excellent work (all NEW work) is gorgeous Mardy’s elegant squares are glowing away on the gallery walls, result of lots of experimentation and work, but…there […]
Living The Creative Life: Tom Cramer

The OTHER Thing in Tillamook…
Being a quilter I was anxious to visit the Latimer Quilt & Textile Center in Tillamook, so after we saw the murals we went out to the center, and though they offer groups and classes in weaving and spinning as well (one lady was actually carding and spinning the cotton from pill bottles…creative reuse!!!), we […]
Tillamook Murals…
On our way down from Cannon Beach the other day we stopped in Tillamook to find these murals by Oregon muralist Lucia Wiley. First in the post office is this 1943 mural about Captain Gray’s 1788 landing on the Oregon coast. Wiley was born in Tillamook in 1906…a third generation Tillamooker. This post office mural […]
LIVING THE CREATIVE LIFE: MATT GLAVIN
We visited the studio of Rex Amos on Monday (see previous post) and in addition to Rex’s work, we saw the work of painter Matt Glavin…studio-mate and long-time friend of Rex. Matt (Portland/Berkeley/Cannon Beach) paints in acrylic, and for years has brought 20-24 paintings every 6 months to Magnolia Editions in Oakland, CA where they […]
Living the Creative Life: Rex Amos
Our trip to Cannon Beach was all business, that turned out to be all fun too. We were meeting Rex and Diane Amos, and Roger was to make a visit to Rex’s studio to see what was on hand. As often happens, I get the fun of going along. Rex lived and worked in Portland […]
