Regional artist Carl Hall left a wealth of material behind for his family to deal with after his death in 1996. His wife and daughters have generously donated paintings to many institutions in the Pacific Northwest, sold much work, and sorted and re-formatted more. Still…Carl was prolific and there is the fantastically interesting archival material left. The Hall daughters are donating these small ephemeral drawings to the Northwest Artist’s Archive at Willamette University. R and I agreed to help out by sorting several boxes of drawings…fascinating for an artist (me) to see what another artist (Carl) held on to. Many of the papers are just scraps with fascinating notations about color, or titles maybe, or methods to use…or maybe just an idea. I just thought you might like a peek at the process…
tomorrow off it goes to the archive…
