Mash Tun Portland

My work is on display at Mash Tun, 2204 NE Alberta Street, here in Portland until March 30th. Go see it!

Update...

Chris and I have been working today to set up the office/studio. Last week when we moved in, we automatically took our bed to the larger room and all our other stuff to the smaller room, but after a couple of days we thought since our bed and nightstands are the only furniture in our bedroom and we're trying to cram my easel, my desk, his filing cabinet, his desk, the printer and bookshelves in to the smaller room, then why not switch rooms? So we did. It meant we had to move the bed last night and I never want to move the filing cabinet again, but now we have twice the space for an office/studio and our bed still fits nicely in the smaller room.

In that process I had to move a big stack of paintings and I realized that I had a few that weren't posted here. So, a painting update.



I painted this in early December. It was in the Fat Tiger Show, but somehow it didn't make it here.



This was January's big painting. I think it made it on to the blog, but not in a completed form.



And this was my painting this month. I played with the Fisher-Price Little People for hours at a time when I was a kid, so these were an obvious choice for my next painting. They are the people from the Little People Airplane Set, a pilot, a "stewardess" (because that's what they were called in 1981) and the luggage cart. I found them on eBay. I'm still looking for the airplane-- I want to paint the complete set. Meanwhile, I'm going to go finish setting up the studio, so I'll have more to show you soon.

(By the way, this is my 102nd post-- I let that milestone slip by in the midst of all the moving...)

Fulfilling a promise...

Pictures as promised.
My house:


Libby enjoying the view from the dining room windows.


My current station-- the comfy chair with the laptop set up on the ottoman.



The view of the living room-- we need more bookshelves, and a rug.



The view from the left side of the kitchen near the dining room chairs.



The view from the right side of the kitchen near the barstools.

What do you think? More importantly, when are you coming to visit?

Fat Tiger Studio Show...

Last Thursday, I participated in a Holiday Show with other local artists for the First Thursday Artwalk in Pioneer Square. It was great. Several people came out just to see me, which amazed me, and I got some really positive feedback about my work (always a good thing).

A view of the crowds...



Me setting up... (notice the walking cast there-- it's off now!)







Showing is still a new process for me, so it's honestly a bit scary, but I'm starting to like it...sometimes.

Kuma Coffee Display

Ok, still short on words, but here are the long promised pictures of the show at Kuma Coffee. My work is up there until the 15th. Stay tuned for more showings...
