Last night I attended the awards ceremony for the Howland Community Open at The Arts Center in Corvallis. The event draws one of the largest crowds, probably reaching the maximum capacity for the building. It’s a chance to recognize amazing artwork created throughout the community from all age brackets and abilities. This year there wereContinue reading “Unexpected Recognition”

Slug print
Week 2 print results: A block a day is not possible for me. C’est la vie! 2-3 are possible depending on subject matter. I’ve finally called it quits on the slug print. The image modifications have been going on for several days. Here is the printed image and a color test. Banana slugs are anContinue reading “Slug print”
Mollusk Monday
The forest art print project is still moving along.4″x4″ printed & water colored squares will eventually become attached to balsa wood frames. The carved images are quick and not perfect. It’s become more of a learning experience than anything, pushing my envelope in an area I don’t visit very often. Plus making me work inContinue reading “Mollusk Monday”
Forest Project Continued
With the initial “Walk in the Woods” project completed, gears are shifting to tackle the next. I’ve decided to approach the art through printmaking and cube construction. A total of 7+ cubes will be created, depending on time, and will relay a visual story of a hike through the forest during the month of February.Continue reading “Forest Project Continued”
A Walk in the Woods
“A Walk in the Woods” is looking finished for the Howland Community Open today. Only part lacking are two eye screws to hang from the wall/ceiling/window. I wonder if it will make it on the “curators wall”. That would be a big honor. Drop off time is between noon and 4pm Saturday January 29th. ThisContinue reading “A Walk in the Woods”
Filling in Squares
Progress has been slow but I might still make it for the Howland Community Open at The Arts Center in Corvallis. Today I found perfect screw eyes to connect the squares and clear hemlock for the frame. However, I’m realizing the screws purchased will not cover all the connections needed…. back to the hardware store!Continue reading “Filling in Squares”
Progress in small steps
The piece is progressing along slowly. I’ve run out of balsa wood and need to replenish. More botanical cuts to make and a couple to re-cut due to mistakes. 10 out of 20 panels isn’t too bad. Each square is 4″x4″x1/2″. Still need to find some very small eye-screws and links to attach each panelContinue reading “Progress in small steps”
January Studio Time
January has been filled with rain, snow, ice and a couple of warmish sunny days. Perfect weather to be working indoors on art projects. The Art About Ag show is my main creating focus for the next couple of months. With any luck, project #1 might be completed before the community open drop date onContinue reading “January Studio Time”
Everett Holiday Card 2010
Since I was on a card theme, it was about time to unveil the completed card and it’s process. It ended up being 4 color screens & could have been less if I had planned it better. The complete process was not recorded but you should get the idea. We start with blank cards ScreenContinue reading “Everett Holiday Card 2010”
Unexpected Invitation
Last week I wandered out the mail box expecting bills and the usual junk mail. There was a large envelope at the bottom of the pile. I thought it must be for Dave, since he receives the majority of those types of things. However, it was addressed to me and was from Art About Agriculture. Continue reading “Unexpected Invitation”
