Okay readers…this is it…the last post on the Roger Hull retirement festival. But what a ride it was. Here’s Roger’s advice to graduating seniors (and now he, too, is a member of the class of 2010…as is Scott Simon…) as published in the student paper (“The Collegian”) this week: And so today I sat in […]

Coming Down the Home Stretch…
This blog is at (only) slight risk of becoming the Roger Hull PR department, but tomorrow is the last day of the HULLabaloo season. Graduation. After 40 hard years of work they’re allowing him to graduate at last. Today Roger was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honorary and gave a very interesting talk about […]
The “Hullabaloo”
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 […]
Preview: RPH
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.

“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 […]
Found drawing….
Here’s Sienna at the beach this weekend:
