So Roger Hull not only writes the books and curates the shows, he also delivers books to various places (“distributor”added to his CV) and Thursday we headed to Augen Gallery with some books for the upcoming George Johanson show this spring. Augen Gallery wasn’t open yet, so we went next door to the Froelick Gallery […]
Saturday we left home early to hear George Johanson talk about his new show at Augen Gallery (in the DeSoto Building)…the paintings are lovely and lively, as is the painter. I particularly liked this self portrait…(just above George’s head in the upper left of the painting is Louis Bunce’s life mask, which hangs in George’s […]
Still raining… and after we heard Jackie Johnson speak, we dashed over to Augen Gallery to hear George Johanson talk about his beautiful show of 24 reductive prints he’s been working on for a year or two… We had visited his studio about a year ago and saw the set up and method and the […]

George Johanson’s big show includes many new paintings from this year as […]
Portland Art day…had to pick up my birthday painting…a little painting by David Selleck called “Doplar Radar” which totally cracks me up (you’d have to know my family and their love of weather reporting)… and then on to see Lee Kelly at Elizabeth Leach…and they are handsome, but we were completely beguiled by the platforms […]
Michael Parsons has taken over the Sovereign Collection Gallery (716 SW Madison, Portland), and is showing a nice selection of paintings, collages and assemblages by Portland artist Harry Widman. On Saturday Roger Hull, Widman’s biographer, and Bob Shotola (Harry’s long-time friend) were at the Gallery with Harry and quite a crowd of others to have […]
Today was a bit gloomy in that good Fall way…leaves fluttering down, a bit of rain. We took off early for Portland and after an errand, we caught up on a few shows in the galleries currently on… by some of our favorite artists… PDX Gallery (9th and Flanders) is featuring a very nice Marie […]
