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.

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
Sat. Feb. 28th & Sun. March 1st
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.

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

July 26th and 27th from 10am to 6pm

This summer I will be in a few art shows.  I am really excited to be in the Chehalem Mtn Art Affair which is the 26th & 27th of July.  I was at the Postergarden for First Thursday in June.  I meet a great artist, Richard Jones, he makes fabulous paint brush as a side thing to his wonderful drift wood sculptures and rock formations.  Check out his website, www.drifting-images.com! I will also be in the Tualatin Crawfish Festival on the 8th and 9th of August and the following weekend on the 16th at Max’s Fanno Creek Brew Pub for the Brew-n-Art show.  Virginia Parks and I have been to few encaustic workshops this summer from Linda Womack and Elise Wagner, highly recommend taking their classes.

Please come join me at MacTarnahan’s Taproom tonight 4/23 to support Paint it Forward by eating and drinking.  MacTarnahan’s will donate 1/2 of all sales to buy art supplies for the kids of Sitton Elementary School in North Portland.  The Paint it Forward event, May 2nd, will be giving students a donated piece of art from local artists to keep as inspiration and artists will be teaching kids techniques and kids will go home with art supplies.  The kids then will create a piece of art that will be shown at the Roosevelt’s High School Art Show on May 12, 2008.
