The other evening we went to the penultimate event at the High Street Gallery. The last evening of the current exhibit, and of the Gallery, is this coming Saturday, June 16th…put it on your calendar and head over there to see a good exhibit and to say goodbye to the gallery. Michael Hernandez opened the […]
I’ve written a lot about Jon Colburn and visited his studio many times, since his partner is my long-time friend and garden mentor Irene Longaker. The other day R and I were in the PNAA (Pacific Northwest Artist Archive) and archivist Mary McRobinson had a nice painting of Jon’s over her desk, on loan from […]
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 […]
My friend George writes a nice blog and the other day he wrote in an email that his recent post was a bit miscellaneous…sort of a “basket full of stuff.” THIS, I thought, exactly describes my current predicament…weirdly unrelated, all sort of interesting, some nice images…okay let’s go. The weather has been beautiful here, after […]
Eunice Parsons is considering giving her “papers” (and here I mean correspondence, etc., NOT all the paper that is the raw material for collage…!) to the Pacific Northwest Artists Archive at Willamette University. The University library and the University Archivist are committed to building this collection, housing the papers of artists who have worked in […]
We were in Portland Saturday to hear Tom Cramer talk about his new work on view at Laura Russo gallery this month. For me the show is a knock out, and if you’re near the gallery on NW 21st take a look. The work is beautiful, but also fresh and original. Martha introduced Tom… and […]
Opening last night…a night that really felt like summer almost…
But we began this outing with a visit to Tom Cramer’s again to see the wooden chests and boxes he makes and then a visit to his clients who have a newly made chest in place in their beautiful house where every single room is a “room with a view” and as you can tell […]
I had a meeting today at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art and that gave me a chance to see the new acquisitions on view in the lobby this month…go take a look, but here are some (not too good…but you get the idea) photos. Jon Colburn Tom Cramer Katherine Ace Lucinda Parker and then […]
We stopped at Tom Cramer’s house/studio the other day where he’s finishing up the work for his upcoming show at the Laura Russo Gallery in May, and here’s a sneak preview of some of the work…most of it “figurative”…sort of…and wonderful: …and the house is an eyeful too…filled with Tom’s art and the work of […]
