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 […]

Nice Day/Car Wash
When everybody else heads out for parks and wineries and the beach, I head to the car wash–an ALWAYS entertaining few minutes: The shot on the right looks like a Motherwell painting!!
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 […]

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 […]
LIVING THE CREATIVE LIFE: Carolyn Schneider and “The Lost Coast”
Sunday was another sunny day and we headed north across the Golden Gate to Fort Bragg (about 10 miles north of Mendocino). They call it the “Lost Coast” for reasons I don’t know but it IS a hike–four hours from any airport etc. It rained and poured the day I was there so I have […]

A Brief Interlude….
will now be taken while I head off to San Francisco to consider Belgian painters, Amish quilts and just HOW good Carolyn I really are at writing tankas! In the meantime, if you’re in town, head over to the Hallie Ford Museum to catch a small but LOVELY show of African stone sculpture from the […]
Happy Birthday to me!
I’m in the midst of “Birthday Week.” Today is the actual day. (It seems a long time ago when I was born in Evanston, Illinois…but really it WAS a long time ago.) So far this week the celebrations have included the following confectionery moments: and here’s the lucky little me:
The Bees…
After a fun sunny Saturday in Portland we were heading home when we saw a lady standing in the middle of 21st ST NW taking a photo–oblivious of traffic. “What could she be photographing??” said I. Bees. There was a swarm of bees on the telephone pole:
Thursday at the Annex Studio
Jennifer came down on a beautiful sunny day and we traded techniques and stories all day in the studio: Jennifer worked on “peels” I ironed my wax piece we went out for lunch and then after lunch Paula and Sadie came by to say hi. Sadie brought me some flowers a pretty nice day!
