Last Saturday and next Saturday are designated “fill in days” at the Arts Center of Corvallis. My buddy Suzanne has torn herself away from the front desk for a dream trip of gallery hopping in Santa Fe, NM. With her gone, I was given the opportunity to step back into my old job. It’s alwaysContinue reading “Wayward brain at work”

Another Round
In between bits and pieces of life, I’ve been slowly working on 4 more 6″x 6″ claybord squares. Two are finally starting to look like something close to finish, the other two have a ways to go. I took them outside to photograph with strong light and hence a lot of glare. Yuck! Right now,Continue reading “Another Round”
Rejection & Acceptance
It feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Who would think receiving a rejection could do that?! With everything stacking up in life, I think receiving the rejection was the best thing ever. So, what was the rejection for? The 2013 Rural Arts Project. I’ve already moved on, plotting out ideas ofContinue reading “Rejection & Acceptance”
Art Play
So many things going on and I just needed a total brain shift. Way too much light coming in on the work but it was the best I could do for a quick image. 6″ x 6″ (15.2 cm x 15.2 cm) claybord with acrylic and alcohol ink, fiber paste. It’s not finished at thisContinue reading “Art Play”
Wishbone 2
I spent part of my day pulling out gesso and prepping paper for a maniere noire drawing only to discover the large hunks of charcoal in my box were really cruddy. To me, charcoal is supposed to lay down black, not grey. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get out for some new material. So rather than letContinue reading “Wishbone 2”
Wishbone
Resting on the kitchen windowsill are a pair of chicken wishbones. We haven’t pulled them apart yet, but it might be soon. A serious wish is needed for my father-in-law. I don’t mention my husbands family much but both of his parents are going through cancer. His father was doing better back in April withContinue reading “Wishbone”
Dog print show: final week
The dogs will be returning home after a month on view at The Arts Center of Corvallis. Their final day is Saturday May 25, noon to 5pm. If you do make it in, please make sure to visit BOTH gallery spaces (yes, they are split between two areas). Wander into the back office/staff space toContinue reading “Dog print show: final week”
Limpet and the Volcano
A Keyhole Limpet shell. They resemble little volcanoes, which is very appropriate for today. Back on Sunday morning May 18, 1980, Mount St Helens in Washington State erupted. The entire house shook with the explosion, stronger than any sonic boom I had experienced before. We lived in Eugene, approximately 150 miles south of the mountain. Continue reading “Limpet and the Volcano”
Christmas Cactus
Wingtip Press Reductive Monotype workshop: Day 3 Since I don’t have a lot of time today to work through the petroglyph trip (thanks to my procrastination with pulling together an installation art proposal due at midnight May 12) , I thought I should just pop up the images of the final print. For this imageContinue reading “Christmas Cactus”
Sheep Print
Day 3 & Print #2 at Wingtip Press Studio workshop on Stacked Monotypes Rose worked us hard! Plus we were flat mates and spent evenings chatting and cooking dinner. I had to pull myself away from an extended evening chat just to get drawings sorted for this print. Fortunately, I seem to have landed onContinue reading “Sheep Print”
