Eunice Parsons is considering giving her “papers” (and here I mean correspondence, etc., NOT all the paper that is the raw material for collage…!) to the Pacific Northwest Artists Archive at Willamette University. The University library and the University Archivist are committed to building this collection, housing the papers of artists who have worked in […]

D.E. May at PDX, and on…
R and I jumped into the car today with Irene and Jon and headed to Portland in a TORRENTIAL downpour for the penultimate day of Dan’s show at PDX. Spare, elegant, but juicy. Wish I had made this post at the beginning of the show so you’d have had time to see it. You know, […]
Kenosha, WI
A couple of weeks ago we visited my cousin Don who lives in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and his mom, my Auntie Pat. I couldn’t remember visiting Kenosha as a kid, though we often drove from the Chicago suburbs to Wisconsin on one of my Dad’s “drive-abouts”. Well during our visit this month, the history of Kenosha […]

Birthday weekend. Test, #2

Checking In-Checking Out
Busy week here with the usual wide variety of things to think about. We headed to White Salmon Wednesday for a night in the Mt. Hood room and a George Domijan dinner…plus a huckleberry G&T… Then all four of us took off for Madras for my opening. We ran into an amazing storm combination…thunder, rain […]
The Mural Comes Back to Life!
Back in July I wrote about the James Mattingly mural on the rear of the Elsinore Theater, and the efforts of a group of dedicated citizens trying to refurbish it…and, miracle of miracles, the money was raised! So this week… the work begins… as muralist Dan Cohen (just guessing as to which is which…) and […]
