Charlie is slowly emerging on the paper. At least, I think it’s him! His colors are tough to match with my current stash of charcoal/pastels. He has beautiful fawn colored marking tinged with a light rusty brown.We will see where it all ends up. Maybe his coat will take on a completely different color allContinue reading “A little progress”

Charlie
I had to start early today since the afternoon/evening will be spent in Eugene dealing with my brother (hopefully in a positive way). I’ve started working on an image of my friends dog Charlie. He is a Chihuahua/terrier cross and such a cutie. This is a breed I’ve never considered owning, but he is suchContinue reading “Charlie”
Blustery day
Monday has been quite the stormy day. The wind gusts almost blew the bird feeders off their hooks and dumped out the majority of seed (filled just yesterday). I kept hearing big “plinks” as something was hitting the sliding glass door. It ended up being individual sunflower seeds being blown out of the feeder. TheContinue reading “Blustery day”
Cat scribble
Not certain what happened to Sunday since it went by so quickly. We went to brunch at Eats n Treats in Philomath and then Dave had to go into work for a while. The ‘while’ turned into all day, which I kind of expected. He had been putting off paperwork for 3 months and itContinue reading “Cat scribble”
Second Bird
I never quite know how to arrange my days right now. Do I spend it at home or head to Eugene? Part of me feels guilty for not going down. Ok, a huge part of me, but I need to back away. Today I chose to back away. I worked on another bird that wouldContinue reading “Second Bird”
Sipping wine
Springhill cellars is our local winery. How local? It’s about 1.5 miles from our house, maybe a bit less. They offer Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Port and Fedeweisser (only during the Thanksgiving weekend!). For the past 6 years, we have made it our after-Thanksgiving tradition to walk to the vineyard for a wine tasting. ThanksgivingContinue reading “Sipping wine”
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”
Work Influence
I was perfectly happy not knowing what amazing technology was possible with my camera phone. Blissfully moving through life without this extra art influence. Then the new show hit my “to do” list at work and photos started rolling in to be organized for the jurors. Was I impressed with what I saw? YES! Yesterday,Continue reading “Work Influence”
Beavers, Sheep & Horses!
Sunday we wandered out to Carol & Harry’s farm. Carol invites friends over for art movies once a month. This round fell on Easter. We watched “How to draw a bunny” a 2002 documentary on the life and work of Ray Johnson. Very, very interesting…. After the movie, we went out to view the newContinue reading “Beavers, Sheep & Horses!”
Plugged Nose
If you are a caged bird and not feeling well, how do you convey your problems? What happens when you have a cold and your nose is clogged with crud and no one will give you a hankie and cold meds? You certainly don’t have digits to pick your nose with. Well, you might comeContinue reading “Plugged Nose”
