Wow… a busy three days have zoomed by over here in the far west. In chronological order (I’m influenced by an art historian here…) it looked like this…celebrate Jim’s birthday (and it was a major one…) have breakfast with artists…good talk, good breakfast… go get LAST (5th) cast removed, into “the boot”, and actually SEE […]

Hallie Ford Museum of Art
Friday is Member Appreciation Day at the Hallie Ford Museum of art. There will be tours and chats and food…it will be fun. This little museum takes the art of Oregon and our region very seriously, producing many wonderful shows every year of work in and out of our region…and if you aren’t already a […]
Quilt News…the Good News First…
I finished the “recovery quilt”…(even though the recovery itself lags behind…)! I started the quilt in August using some hand-dyed fabrics from Mary and a sheet from Value Village… I added on to it this fall until it was big enough to be a “real” quilt… …and then started quilting it. For me only, the […]
BUSY WEEK…
We zoomed to Portland this past week for a sleep-over…the weather was mostly like that pictured in this Michael Brophy painting… but spirits were high anyway. We visited Sara, checked in to our hotel of choice and headed over to Henk’s opening at Laura Russo. The paintings are gorgeous, big, full of drama. (As it […]
1% for ART!
In 1975 our state mandated that 1% of the cost of every new building (or major rehab) be spent on art for that building. This results in two very good things: #1 it assures quality art contemporary to each building to enhance the building itself and #2 it builds a strong collection, long term, for […]
The Usual Pursuits…
Heading out to my studio used to just be a part of most days, but a couple of months ago I was side-lined for a bit by some foot surgery. Yesterday I made the first trip back to the studio since November…down my nice ramp…and up the steps… into my sweet little studio, amazing myself […]
Julie Green at Corvallis Art Center
This is a little bit silly, but the recent New York Times article on Julie Green’s terrific show at the Corvallis Art Center reminded us we’d better get down there. We set off in the fog this morning… and took the back road… and after a little lunch, arrived at the Corvallis Art Center (700 […]
Stamina-building, Day 4
That’s really what this week is about…starting to walk, and building stamina…but in the most fun possible way. Today’s “work” began with a sunny-day breakfast with some artist friends, including Violet, who got right to work with crayons… and then getting the quilt (for the soon-to-arrive Seattle baby) safely into his grandmother’s hands… After lunch […]
Wednesday
Too tired to tell you…
I’m Rolling!
Well, sort of… Here’s my new best friend Hugo… and today was my first day out…(though I went to the dentist and a meeting, so not really a GLAMOROUS day out…but, a day out all the same.) And a day out on my feet for the first time since December 4th. In between I went […]
