A few days back I learned a tad more about my upcoming space. The building length is 21 feet or 6.4 meters. My floor height, interior and exterior, are equal (except down on the sidewalk). Plus I will have the full front space, up to 5 feet from the windows, including the front door! So that meansContinue reading “Figuring”

Model Camas
Camas on a stick anyone? This is a sneak peak of my current concept for the Art in Rural Storefronts Project for Halsey Oregon. The above model has received limited hours of work, has no finished color, and a very quick assembly. Very quick!! It’s been constructed strictly to see if my ideas are feasible and theyContinue reading “Model Camas”
Out of town break
Sometimes you just need to get away with friends. Especially those that take you to art stores! We had a “art gals” day in McMinnville to visit a few galleries and spend an enormous amount of time combing through the Merri Artist, an art supply store. I have to admit a lot of my suppliesContinue reading “Out of town break”
Sticky fingers
This is going to be a busy week! I have about 5 days to get my plans and introduction together for the Rural Storefront installation project. My brain works best bycombining sketching with model building. The above image is one of many camas sketches but with vine charcoal & pastels. An exercise to get my brain thinkingContinue reading “Sticky fingers”
In search of supplies
This week has been filled with so many things. I’ve been trying to get a handle on my new job, delivered 6 lamps to a new shop, hubby’s birthday, cat care for our neighbor, and much more. There have also been counter offers on my dad’s house too. Research has commenced in earnest forContinue reading “In search of supplies”
A weekend in the hills
On Saturday and Sunday, I attended a workshop taught by artist Shannon Weber in the hills just south of Eugene. I met Shannon during a recent gallery opening and subsequent artist talk at The Arts Center in Corvallis. She happened to be teaching a workshop that peaked my interest so I signed up. Little didContinue reading “A weekend in the hills”
Summer?
We are in a short stretch of hot weather. One source says it’s currently 90 F (32 C) at 5pm! Just shocking! Perfect weather for G & T’s and a little BBQ. What month are we in?? I thought it was still spring in Oregon, not Texas?! After spending a few morning hours working outside in theContinue reading “Summer?”
Monday Skeleton
Happy Monday! Look what I found today. Yes, it might be considered gruesome but I find it fascinating. The little creature died last fall and decomposed over the winter next to the house. This morning I happened to be attaching the garden hose and found it. Quite a nifty decomposition! One front leg is missing alongContinue reading “Monday Skeleton”
Field Trip #2: Halsey
Tuesday was an enjoyable day. No specific appointments, just a simple drive to Eugene to pick up mail and visit my sister. However, I took extra time to explore Halsey and the building for the Art in Rural Storefronts project. Initially I stopped off at the recently remodeled train station that holds City Hall, aContinue reading “Field Trip #2: Halsey”

Halsey, a small town I pass through regularly, will become home to my creation from Oct – Dec 2014. That means you, dear blog followers, will be subject to many posts onContinue reading “Accepted!”
