The Chehalem Mountain Art Affair on July 25th and 26th. Visit www.chehalemmountainpottery.com for driving directions and more details. This is my only show this summer so come by and say hello.
My friend, Virginia and I just took an evening workshop from Linda Womack. We learned the crackle method, it was way frickin’ cool. Both Virginia and i are really excited to incorporate that technique into our work. Linda is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn about encaustic painting & techniques to take her classes.
Come and join a night of fun and laughter.
Project POOCH’s Comedy Night at the Gemini Pub. Visit our website at www.pooch.org for more details!
Being my first year in the SE Area ARTWalk, it couldn’t have been better. I was in a wonderful space with 6 other talented and fun artists. We had a wide variety of work on display and we all were thrilled at the number of folks that came out to enjoy the show. I am happy to say that 3 of my larger paintings now have new homes and it makes me really happy to know that they will be looked at all the time. Bonita Davis was next to me and had one of her best years ever in the SE ARTWalk.
I am looking forward to a new year, to create new paintings, to enjoying new adventures with my friends and family. Currently I am in Salt Lake City for my dad’s 75th birthday and my nieces 6th birthday. I am excited to get home and start painting.
My first art event of the year will be:
2009 SE Area ARTWalk

10-5pm both days
You can check out the link at www.seportlandartwalk.com. I will have a bunch of new work and maybe a new booth display. This will be my first year in this event. I will update more info later regarding the details. Smile and enjoy the moment! Peace.
Benny decided to do some work at home!
It is Monday and Bill is home working along with Virginia and me. Bill keeps saying how this is unbelievable and it is pretty darn crazy for Portland city limits. It is the most snow that I have ever seen here. We are fortunate to have our 4 wheel drive truck and can still get around very easily. We will venture out today on our snowshoes to go get coffee and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Enjoy the moment! The dogs are having fun in the snow. Tucker loves to push the tennis ball into the snow and dig it out. Benny still is chasing the squirrels and Bailey is usually watching unless Benny steals Tuckers ball and then the chase begins with all three. Have fun, relax and stay warm. Peace and Happy Holidays
I will be having an open house at my studio the last weekend in Sept. Come and see how I paint wax on wood. There will be live music, food, drinks and even the Sprockettes, check out the link… http://sprockettes.org/sprockettes/main/main.html. You MUST check out the videos!!
The address is: 833 SE Main St, Pdx 97214
Friday from 5pm to 9pm and Saturday from 11am to 5pm
The weather turned out to be a pretty decent at the Tualatin Crawfish Festival, better then the 100 degree heat at the Brew-n-Art Show. The heat didn’t deter folks from enjoying the show and buying art! I had a drawing at each event to win a little painting I made. The winner from the Tualatin Crawfish Festival was Tessa Brookhart and Dee Rommel won from the Brew-n-Art show in Tigard. Here I am in my booth with Larry and Debbie Nelson. Virgina Parks shared and showed her work with me in the booth.
My next gig is this weekend at the Tualatin Crawfish Festival. It will be the first time at this event. There will be music, lots of crawfish eating, not something I will be doing and watching all the pirates! They have a pirate theme for this event. Lets pray to the weather gods that it will be sunny that day and no rain! When are the weatherman ever right anyway. check it out: www.tualatincrawfishfestival.com
