What a weekend. The Roger Hull retirement festival (known here at home as the “Hullabaloo”) provided pure fun, reunions with friends and family, a tear or two, a nice goodbye. Well not goodbye really…his curatorial career continues…but goodbye to the classroom. As I stood in the back of the packed room I did reflect […]

Progress Report…
A good day in the studio…things are beginning to come together. The show that opens May 7th will feature 2 1/2 months of my work as the artist in residence in the Annex Studio, and I’m kind of amazed at how much I’ve done. Twenty works on paper are being framed, 8 paintings are more […]
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:
Friday Report from the Annex…
The Annex studio is in the middle of a terrific park. Part of my time there involves letting the setting infiltrate my thinking. This week, after some warm weather, everything is just POPPING! Here’s the scene right outside my patio door: and a closer view reveals bleeding heart: these cool little bamboo things: One of […]
The Annex, week 2, and a Valentine…
A busy week in the new studio–though not as much time as I would have liked. While I have this nice space I wish for all the details of daily life to go away for a few months but, alas, groceries, errands, the gym, etc.. still claim time. This week too the auditors were using […]
Corvallis Art Center
Tonight’s the last night for bids on the very fun shrine show at the Corvallis Art Center. 100 artists were given a box and then made “shrines” of various types. This week I ran down to see the show and took shots of a few Salem artists represented. There’s still time to get down there […]
Bonnie Hull at Project Space 2
Busy week–the 12×16 show came down and the PS 2 show went up. There’s always something going on in the studio and sometimes it’s nice to get it out into the light. This show at PS 2 shows monoprints from the “Adam and Eve” series–acrylic mono-prints with painting on top, 6 drawings from the “Obsessions” […]
The Shirt Quilt
Today I finished step one, two and three of the next quilt (or now I’m thinking the next 2 quilts): Cut up the shirts and remove all the buttons: stop for a coffee fold up the fabric and make all the left-over seams into some cool looking balls (I don’t have ANY idea what you […]
The Height of Summer
This is it–the middle of the summer and a big heat wave coming. Sharon called and said to come get some dahlias as they don’t like the heat coming toward us (102) so I went over early and we picked a bouquet to take to my Mom, a lover of pink. Sharon has rigged up […]
The Second Opening…7-12-09
Back up to 12 x 16 Gallery Sunday for the artist’s reception. Only two hours of charm this time and it was really fun:
