Ellen (creator of the “snail blog”) particularly loves that rare day when there are no requirements, limitations, meetings, errands…a day to just do, well, whatever…and she calls it “a day without walls…” and I think it works for blogs too…

“Honesty Lunaria: How One Thing Leads to Another”
We were outside doing a bit of fall garden clean-up today and I found a stalk of money plant I had yanked out in the summer and put aside to deal …and then forgot all about it. A little bouquet is always nice, so I started removing the seed pod coverings…before you remove the coverings […]
Project Space: Bonnie Hull
Back to reality today, a week after the wedding. I begin to think about hanging a little show of my summer work down at Project Space. I hope to have it all up Friday the 17th, and the “opening” will be First Wednesday, September 5th, 5-8 p.m. Come see if you are out and about. […]
Alaska 2…Art Found and Made
Howard and Amy took a trip on the ship Infinity early in the spring through the Panama Canal, and they told me there was a David Hockney on board someplace. When we boarded I asked at the desk for a list of the art on board and I was told “That does not exist, Madam”. […]
“The Mystery Project”
You know I really like Art House Coop and their Sketchbook Project. But all spring I’ve also been doing some of their weekly projects, that have been fun and very amusing. The current one is called “The Mystery Project.” I received a nice Prismacolor marker in the mail along with the instructions which included a […]

Carol reminded me of the two beautiful wisteria plants at Bush House Museum…(plants I drew and drew when I was the Artist in Residence at the Annex in 2010) so I drove over today for a look… this one is a Japanese wisteria… and check this gorgeous Spanish lavender growing by a lamp post at […]
Sketchbook “World Tour” and James Hill
Wow…yesterday was just total fun all the way…and a beautiful sunny day to boot. First we went to The Cleaners at the Ace Hotel (corner of 10th and Stark) where the Sketchbook World Tour 2012 is hanging out for three days. I had a sketchbook in the mix and wanted to go “check it out” […]
Wednesday Art Notes….
A quiet day around town today. Visited the stadium in Bush’s Pasture Park (it was the purchase of 10 acres by Willamette University for this stadium in the 1950’s that kept a big road being put through the middle of the park…thanks Willamette…) but we went not for park history, but to see Robert Hess’ […]
Sketchbook Project
Nan sent me a link to the Sketchboook Project for 2012 and I decided to try it…the idea is fun. So I paid my money and my sketch book arrived yesterday…it’s pretty dinky…take a look…here it is compared to the one I’ve been carrying around… and there are rules…the most important one being that the […]
Pienza
We had never been to Pienza…a lovely little hill town with a GORGEOUS small renaissance piazza built by Piccolomini…who later became Pope Pius the second in 1458. Designed by Bernardo Rossellino…student of Alberti…it was envisioned as the “ideal city” and in many ways, it is… and not only did we touristical types like it, it […]
