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.
I am happy to announce the 2nd Annual Brew-n-Art show held at Max’s Fanno Creek Brew Pub. Can’t beat having a beer and looking at some awesome art work from local artists. It will be from 11am to 7pm. See ya there.

It’s Friday night and we are hangin’ out in the kitchen having fun talking and eating. Wendy and Virginia are here working on web stuff. Bill just came home and will be off to his hockey game at 11:05pm. He is crazy! Virginia told us that there is a yellow lab, Bailey, who is looking for a home. Who knows, one of us might have a new family member.
