Start of a poppy drawing: stage 1 & 2. How do I procrastinate from tasks needing work? Typically I pull out a completely unrelated art form like knitting scarves, printmaking or something totally different. Yesterday it was drawing with charcoal. Maybe I can partly blame fellow blogger Rosie Scribblah in Wales. I adore herContinue reading “Pulling out the charcoal”

Ditch Fish Project: Venue Change
I had a sneaky feeling my request would be misinterpreted. Maybe it’s for the best. Here are the images for the NEW location, still in downtown Sweet Home. Address is 933 Main Street. I had really hoped for a longer expanse of window but I’ll just have to work with what I’ve got. To beContinue reading “Ditch Fish Project: Venue Change”
Going to the Dogs
During the final week of September, local artists were able to submit a trio of works to be juried into the Corrine Woodman gallery for the 2013 season. I hmmed and hawed and finally submitted three dog print images. They were all works viewed by friends on Facebook , Etsy, or for those who happenedContinue reading “Going to the Dogs”

Start of the Ditch Fish Project
Today I had to secure my site for the Rural Storefront Art project. I admit, life has been super busy and I’ve not been able to run over to Sweet Home to check the sites, but I had two to choose from and hopefully I chose wisely. Google street views helped a bunch. I won’tContinue reading “Start of the Ditch Fish Project”

Call to Artists
My favorite non-profit art center has placed a call to artists for their 2013 show schedule: Interested artists should contact Hester Coucke (info below), not me. I guess she has limited it to Linn & Benton counties of Oregon. I wonder if I could convince the group to take on a traveling print exchange likeContinue reading “Call to Artists”
Check list
Whew, this has been a full day. Here were some of the things checked off my list: New project completed and delivered! Positive comments flowed from some of the exhibition committee members packing up the plankton show. No completed photos yet. I’ll take some once the show opens. A little time away from the pieceContinue reading “Check list”
Project #201
It’s actual name is the Brain Conversation #201. I find myself having lots of inner dialogs as I flesh out new concepts or work thru challenging projects. This particular piece has been in the works for several years. The invitation to participate in Corvallis Fall Festival’s Fine Arts Showcase during the month of September finallyContinue reading “Project #201”

The piece is still in the works but stands a pretty good chance of getting completed before the drop-off date next week. PhotosContinue reading “Upcoming art interests”
