Okay, I decided to give them another chance and the coffee I got today was delicious… but only “okay” in the pretty department (tho when she saw me taking the picture she said “Oh if I had known you were taking a picture I’d have made it prettier”…?) the place is cavernous but pleasant…it has […]

Spring Walk Off…
I was looking at a favorite blog yesterday (Local Ecologist) and Georgia was talking about the Winter Walk Off challenge on Les’ blog A Tidewater Gardener…start off on your own two feet, walk around your neighborhood and take some photos…of course I missed the closing date and season change (typical…) so instead of the Winter […]
Worms…
It’s kind of odd what things bring a memory back, but one day I was thinking about being a kid in the Mid-West and walking home from school on a rainy day and seeing TONS of worms on the sidewalk. Then it came to me that…like lightening…we don’t see that in the Pacific NW very […]
Porch Update…
Just thought you might like to see how very nice it is to remove an unfortunate update. Here the former porch front at Zach and Ashton’s was removed, and the porch was returned to it’s original proportions with the wider, more welcoming, stairway and the half/post modeled after other similar porches on the street. Good, […]
Preoccupied…
My mind is on other stuff this week, but here are two short news notes…got a delicious and almost-pretty coffee at Broadway coffee (in the new modern church buildiing on the east side of Broadway)…it’s Stumptown coffee. The help…four people behind the counter…were so busy talking to each other that none could talk to me […]
Henk & Roger at PNCA
Roger “took it on the road” last night for his “last” (I doubt this…) lecture on Henk Pander, in Portland at PNCA. Art History is always frought with technical problems, it seems, but at PNCA the excellent Bobby was totally organized and then it was “show time”! with a nice Q&A afterwords… the last chance […]
April Waters at PNCA
Yep…our April, showing the big gals in Portland now…up at PNCA until April when they change venues…they look good… …and this just in from April…she was able to meet Vandana Shiva in Portland this month and show her the portrait…
Eunice Parsons & Mardy Widman at 12 X 16
Went to the artist’s reception Sunday for Eunice and Mardy and their handsome show at 12 X 16. Eunice flew the coop before I got her picture, but her truly excellent work (all NEW work) is gorgeous Mardy’s elegant squares are glowing away on the gallery walls, result of lots of experimentation and work, but…there […]
Urban Grind….
A good looking (and tasty) coffee before R’s PNCA lecture yesterday, at Urban Grind…maybe 14th and Kearney NW?
Living The Creative Life: Tom Cramer
We stopped at Tom Cramer’s house/studio the other day where he’s finishing up the work for his upcoming show at the Laura Russo Gallery in May, and here’s a sneak preview of some of the work…most of it “figurative”…sort of…and wonderful: …and the house is an eyeful too…filled with Tom’s art and the work of […]
