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”

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”
Sunday Balloon Launch
We almost always make it to the Northwest Art & Air Festival, especially to see the hot air balloons. Some years I participate in the World Wide Sketchcrawl on Saturday to sketch balloons. Other years, we just chase after them to watch them land and pack up. This year, the festival launch on Friday wasContinue reading “Sunday Balloon Launch”
Albany Garden Tour
Saturday was a most glorious day for a garden tour. Warm! Up into the low 80’s! Needless to say I was a bit more enthusiastic with the photos at the beginning than later on. 7 stops total, but our group skipped the one closest to our house because we already know the setting. We startedContinue reading “Albany Garden Tour”
Spring Snow 2012: day 2
Spring Snow 2012 Continued! Early afternoon on Wednesday I took a 2 mile loop with Moby. Very wet snow but a nice walk. Nearing the boardwalk Moby pointing at ducks in the marsh area. Our house before the extra snow. The snow kept falling for the entire day and increased after 6pm during our secondContinue reading “Spring Snow 2012: day 2”
Wait! I thought it was spring?!
Mother nature is certainly having some change of plans in the state of Oregon, well, everywhere I guess. Today, being the second day of spring, we are accumulating snow. Yes, that’s right, SNOW! This is extremely unusual for our area and the last noticeable snow was on March 1st. Now it’s the 21st and weContinue reading “Wait! I thought it was spring?!”
New snow for a new month
It’s always surprising to wake to a dusting of snow here in the Willamette Valley. We received (at our location) about an inch. Just enough to coat our normally green & brown landscape. and then the sun came up … The dogs always enjoy goofing around in the snow, no matter what the age. ThisContinue reading “New snow for a new month”
Sea Squirt Assortment
Opening the kiln on Sunday morning was surprising. My little squirts had attached themselves to the shelf stilts and required quite a bit of attention to free them. A few tipped over and joined in an intimate kiss. Ah, another good learning experience. Don’t use kiln stilts that were given to you & you don’tContinue reading “Sea Squirt Assortment”
So close!
After a weekend of no water in the house and plumbing woes out of the way, the Moby print came back in focus. There will be one more color for the border, but for the most part things are looking pretty complete. Keeping the print paper properly lined up (registration) can often be a challenge.Continue reading “So close!”
Buttons & Trillium
Wow, what happened to my day? My big sister came for an afternoon visit & plans shifted. Two weeks ago she & I had started talking about creating ceramic buttons. We found some sweet hand made ones at the new yarn shop in Corvallis. I said “We can make those and have Kirsten (her daughter)Continue reading “Buttons & Trillium”
