Port Townsend is home to Fort Worden State Park along Admiralty Inlet and the straights of Juan de Fuca. For the past three years of ArtFest, I’ve fallen in love with the area. I try to get in two walks out to the lighthouse around sunrise and sunset. On my way out to the lighthouseContinue reading “morning walks at fort worden”

Playing with color theory, drawingContinue reading “off to Art Fest and Port Townsend WA”
screen printing project: artfest house 4e
ArtFest is just around the corner and another addition to the group prayer flags is here! I’ve chosen to do a screen print. Many of my friends and family have not seen this process, so I’ll try to break it down in photo form for all to understand. Here is the process I go throughContinue reading “screen printing project: artfest house 4e”
crabs descending print
Every year on Christmas Eve, our family gathers for a grand crab feed. Living in Oregon, Dungeness crab is not hard to find. Typically my father creates a fabulous card to invite extended family members to the event. Wine flows freely along with copious amounts of crab, wonderful green salad and bread from the MetropolContinue reading “crabs descending print”
moonstruck chocolate
My neighbor and friend Gail dropped off a little gift basket last night filled with beautiful pansies, oranges and Moonstruck Chocolate. I just had to take a photo of the pair. Art in a box. The ladybug was raspberry and the sheep chocolate. Fortunately, we didn’t have any problems eating such cute creations! Thanks Gail!
stalled project
Something interesting has started growing on my pig gut. Another artist had asked if there were problems with things growing on or consuming the pig/hog intestine sculptures after drying. Organic materials… you never know! On initial thought, I replied “No”. However I should probably revise that answer. After four or five days of drying, myContinue reading “stalled project”
leaf collecting
Last year during the months of January & February I spent several days collecting Oregon Ash leaves for a coat project. The finished coat was called “Winter’s Remains” and received first place in textile during the Howland Community Open in Corvallis, OR (to see images, please look back in the archives of March 2009). ThisContinue reading “leaf collecting”
blackberry bush therapy
Getting a jump on yard clearing can really boost your energy. Dave started off the projects on Saturday by completing the initial grass cutting in the backyard while I spent the day working the public at the Arts Center. Bright and early Sunday morning, after the temperature had raised above 45, we hit the theContinue reading “blackberry bush therapy”
dreams
It happens every night, even if we can’t remember doing so. They can be so full of extraordinary things than shift in a millisecond. People you love reappear and life can seem almost normal… until you wake in the dark to the sound of breathing and a dog licking it’s paws. Last night I dreamedContinue reading “dreams”
