Taking Flight

It’s official! Hive can start moving forward with an exhibition date of February 2016! You’re probably wondering “what is Hive and what does this really mean for Gale’s art? ” Background: For the last several years I’ve been wanting to do something substantial related to bees. Yes, those little flying pollinators who make most ofContinue reading “Taking Flight”

At the computer

I’ve spent most of my day creating a newsletter via MailChimp. It’s been one of those experiences I’ve delayed, but see the need to create. So it’s in the works. The biggest job has been compiling a current email list. I started one years ago only to discover it’s gone missing. How could I misplaceContinue reading “At the computer”

22 days left

A blast from the not so distant past! I ran across a memory stick that had snuck it’s way into my husbands stash. On it were a few photos from 2011. Above are the 6- 4″x 4″ hand colored block prints created for a piece titled “Loop 36 Trail”. It became a sculptural work and isContinue reading “22 days left”

23 days and counting!

I’m finally starting to gear up for Philomath Open Studio Tour. Yesterday I went and reclaimed two items that had been on display for the big event. Unfortunately, one of the lamp panels was damaged from a bad repacking job. Yes, a big gouge right through the background paper. No, it’s not fixable and IContinue reading “23 days and counting!”

Coastal Break

We took an extended break in Yachats last weekend to try and recuperate from everything. We both had been stricken with some horrible nasty cold thing from the previous weekend (out with people and small children at the Evergreen Air and Space Museum). Fortunately, the coast was warm and super sunny Fri through Sun. MondayContinue reading “Coastal Break”

All there in black and white

Black and white plus color! And on the front page! What an honor! Interviews are always an interesting experience. You never know what information will be absorbed and posted by the reporter.  Dave and I certainly had a chuckle from some of the information given. It’s too bad the reporter didn’t plug the Oregon Arts Commission not theContinue reading “All there in black and white”

Milestones

  Displaying our catch back in 1975: big sister and I holding up trout probably caught along the Donner or Blitzen river by the Steens Mountains in south-eastern Oregon. Our dad filleted and cooked them for dinner. It was a big milestone for me, my first successful fishing trip. The sport didn’t “catch” on. IContinue reading “Milestones”

Night Camas in Halsey Oregon

Last night we visited the site after attending the opening event in Brownsville for one of the other Art in Rural Storefronts artists. My goal was to inspect lighting and the general nighttime appeal. Our conclusion: Night viewing is the best! I’ll get back there soon for better images. The windows are tough to shoot throughContinue reading “Night Camas in Halsey Oregon”

The big move: Camas installation in Halsey

The Camas are finally at their new home! So how does one move 7 panels and 8 camas 20.7 miles? Carefully and in 2 trips. Start by hinging panels.   Then load in the back of the car. Take to the newly painted and roofed library building in Halsey. And start installing while having aContinue reading “The big move: Camas installation in Halsey”
