What a weekend. The Roger Hull retirement festival (known here at home as the “Hullabaloo”) provided pure fun, reunions with friends and family, a tear or two, a nice goodbye. Well not goodbye really…his curatorial career continues…but goodbye to the classroom. As I stood in the back of the packed room I did reflect […]

This evening Jonathan Bucci and I began to lay out the work for the “Views and Reviews” show which opens Friday…portraits of Roger. It actually looks like it will be pretty interesting and here is a sneak preview:
CAP Auction
Tonight we blasted up to Portland to the Cascade Aids Project auction. Roger was the juror for the live auction section of the evening, and it was a lively event. Valet parking, perfect. Entrance into old warehouse building complete with boiler and wine, and nicely tagged pipes over by the hors d’oeuvres: and then the […]
Ready to compost…
This morning I stood in a long line in a parking lot with a lot of other responsible people, to get my new compost bin…now I just have to figure out how to use it: …it can’t be that hard, right??
“CHECK IT OUT…”
(as Randy Jackson would say)…I almost drove off the edge of Court Street this evening when I saw the two new M.J. Anderson sculptures in front of the Justice Building. Two nude marble figures just standing there blindly…(the piece is called “Blind Justice”) This, though, in the town that refused a Renoir nude in 1956 […]
A Quilting sort of day…
Yesterday Kay and I went to Portland for a day of fabric and fun…a beautiful spring day…no coats were needed. First we stopped in Lake Oswego at a good fabric store called the Pine Needle (no photo, alas), had lunch at the old Papa Haydn’s on Milwaukee, and headed up to Alberta street. We stopped […]
Progress Report…
A good day in the studio…things are beginning to come together. The show that opens May 7th will feature 2 1/2 months of my work as the artist in residence in the Annex Studio, and I’m kind of amazed at how much I’ve done. Twenty works on paper are being framed, 8 paintings are more […]
Roger and George
George Johanson has been painting Roger’s portrait. The painting will be unveiled on May 7th here in Salem at the “Hullabaloo” celebrating Roger’s 40 years of teaching. Yesterday we went up to Portland to check progress on the painting. Since I’m sworn to secrecy, I had to, well—OBSCURE– some aspects of the painting. Like all […]
Where I’ve Been lately…
In a word…”STUDIO.” My show opens May 7th, and today I found out they added a new wall to the gallery. As the first Artist in Residence it’s kind of a race to see how much work I can produce in the allotted time. Stay tuned for that. Those of you who know me know […]
Divas of Design: Women Landscape Architects
On Saturday I went to a terrific day of lectures on women in landscape architecture in the 20th century sponsored by the Lord & Schryver Garden Conservancy. Speakers were: Thaisa Way of University of Washington who has a new book out “Unbounded Practice: Women and Landscape architecture in the early 20th century” and Judith Tankard […]
