Carl Hall, Peg Coe and Mark Clarke, Keith Achepohl and Morris Graves
Today we headed to Eugene to make a stop at the Karin Clarke Gallery to have a sneak preview of her new exhibit “Carl Hall: Nudes”… and to bring Karin some copies of R’s very first monograph “Eden Again: The Art of Carl Hall” written in 2001, to sell during the exhibit. It’s been many […]
Lucinda Parker: “Knowledge is Not Our Enemy”
Until December 2nd you have a chance to see Lucinda Parker’s new paintings at the Russo Lee Gallery (805 NW 21st Street in Portland)…most done in the last three months. The show is entitled “Knowledge is Not Our Enemy” which sounds possibly political, but isn’t. It’s about mountains…most specifically our own MT. Hood. This morning […]

The Trip Part two: Art on the Road
So leaving Carolyn, we headed to Bakersfield, CA… to see a set of five large paintings by Lucinda Parker, the Portland painter who R is currently writing about (and thinking curatorial thoughts about for a show in January of 2019 at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem). These paintings were a series of […]
High Street Gallery
The other night some artists met at Marco Polo for dinner before going to check out the new High Street Gallery (700 High Street NE…it’s around behind where Salem Paint used to be). In MY fortune cookie there were THREE fortunes…wowzer… Salem, the Capital City, doesn’t have a gallery scene really…though Salem is home to […]
Jackie Johnson at Laura Russo
Dodging raindrops was not an option yesterday as we headed north to hear Jackie Johnson talk about her new work at the Laura Russo Gallery…it was POURING! The show opened last week and runs through March…terrific new paintings and Saturday Jackie was on hand to talk about the work. Even though as an artist […]
Just Tulips!
Well this gallery gig is interesting and fun, but goodness a month comes around fast! Thursday Dayna, Tory and I put up the new show, “Just Tulips”, and lest you think it’s ALL work, check us out…(these two are a little scary…) Dayna went BOLD… Tory went whimsical…(this one sold already!!) and this one is […]
Ayumi Takahashi
I really like Duplex Gallery at 219 NW Couch Street in Portland. I first tried to go there last year on a Saturday to see a show that interested me, only to find they are open Monday through Friday from 9-5…business hours. This fall and winter Duplex Gallery has loomed large on our list of […]
Living the Creative Life: Julie Green/Clay Lohmann
I’ve been a fan of two Oregon artists for a few years, and have written about them both on this blog here, here, and here…only recently discovering they are married. In the wake of the recent blog post on Julie Green’s show at Upfor Gallery, R and I were invited for a studio visit. We […]
