I forgot to mention the show in the Project Space Gallery at PNCA…up until January 10, 2011. The work of Cassandra Jones has some terrific images including my favorite…I forgot to write down the title (reporting skills go south for lack of coffee…)

Another Art Saturday…
Up to Portland today to see some art before attending the artists’ reception at 12X16. Stopped at Elizabeth Leach Gallery to look at Malia Jensen’s “Shelved” which included bronze and cast crystal pieces and then a nice selection of Lee Kelly smaller works to compliment the big show of his work at The Portland Art […]
Billy2
While at the Billy Collins poetry reading the other evening I noticed (we were sitting way up high) the preponderance of “devices” as I looked down over the crowd…and also how wonderfully chaotic and casual “hairdos” have become…the first poem he read was from his new book out soon and called “Oh My God…which is […]
Billy Collins at Willamette…
Billy Collins read poems last night to a packed house at Willamette. It was free with no tickets, the doors opened at 7:00 and as Gretchen Moon said when she introduced him, to was nice to see people lined up for poetry instead of iphones of xboxes (whatever THOSE might be…) We were in the […]
Tunnel Vision…
On the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge there are lots of tunnels. I got sort of interested in getting the perfect tunnel shot BUT…it isn’t that easy I discovered…this is going to call for further research I can see… I vote for #3. And just to cheer us up on a gloomy November day, […]
Talking Heads…
Saturday was the day for artists talking about their work in Portland galleries…and we were on a fast track. Arrived at Laura Russo in time to hear Marlene Bauer’s witty remarks about her own terrific paintings (go see the show) and then to see Martha Lee introduce painter Henk Pander (go see the show…same gallery!)

The Garden Studio: The First Day…

After sifting through the boxes and bags hurriedly packed when I left both the Annex and the cottage studio, I […]
Presenting: The Garden Studio!
Well some days are just nicer than other days. Some days have traffic tickets and hospital visits and farewells…BUT NOT TODAY!!! Today was sunny and warm and started with a meeting, followed by a coffee and a read (…okay, NOT good news…but..we’re talking about single moments here…) and after two more meetings, and errands, I […]
A BEAUTIFUL DAY…
Went up to Bird’s Hill for lunch today and what a relief to have a little respite from politics and campaign ads and results that make us sad. Martha has beautiful views and though it doesn’t show up in the photo, MT Hood was right in the middle: Everything at Bird’s Hill is beautiful, serene, […]
A Good Scout…
Halloween was also the birthday of Juliette Lowe and every good girl scout, past and present, knows who that is! Last night Irena invited me to her brownie troop meeting, along with some other “elders,” to talk with the girls about what we remembered about being girl scouts. I told a few stories and brought […]
