Monday is Sidney day every week. We head to Portland to hang out with a very nice young man, soon to be 2, but Monday is a day most galleries are closed. ONE gallery that IS open that we’ve come to like is Duplex Gallery. One reason we like to go is the very nice […]
I haven’t been in the studio much…Italy, 4th of July, grandbaby….so today I sort of sunk in for a while. It’s cool out there in the studio (temperature wise, I mean) totally shaded by a walnut tree and a bay tree intertwined. As is my habit, I try to find some past work to look […]
