Busy week here with the usual wide variety of things to think about. We headed to White Salmon Wednesday for a night in the Mt. Hood room and a George Domijan dinner…plus a huckleberry G&T…
Then all four of us took off for Madras for my opening. We ran into an amazing storm combination…thunder, rain and dust all at once…beautiful…(made me think of Sue-Del McCulloch’s gorgeous sky paintings)
then on to the opening. It was tremendous fun to see both my quilts…
and my drawings…
in the same space. And I even had some familiar faces at the opening, which made it FUN!
The Art Adventure Gallery is the gallery space for the Jefferson County Art Association and is located at 185 SW 5th Street in Madras. My show will be up all month and if you are over that way, go take a look (open M-F 11:00 to 5:00, Saturday 11-3).
On to Sisters for a GOOD coffee and some shopping…
then home…
JUST in time for the opening of the new show “Breath of Heaven, Breath of Earth” at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art…it was packed…the show is up until December so you’ll have plenty of time to check it out.
Today on the way to our daily bike ride/walk we checked out a few “themes” I’ve written about this spring and summer…progress on the Mattingly mural…fast and dramatic…the painters are racing the weather trying to finish before the temperatures soar to 90/100 this week…
And then the bank. You may remember this spring the bank cut all the trees on State Street outside the US Bank, except two…
but of course, they cut those two down also…and yesterday I saw why…they wanted to repave the sidewalk. I thought I’d go take a picture of the paving this morning but…NOT SO FAST BONNIE…
there are TWO guards there on this sunny Sunday morning…protecting the new sidewalk (and actually, though I’m NOT a vandal, it would have been fun to draw a picture of a tree in the cement)…the guard shouted out to me wondering why I wanted a photos and told me it was a really good looking sidewalk.
SO we’re going on a little jaunt to see Auntie Pat this week, and I’m taking a quilt to work on. I put the binding on early because it’s easier to travel with it that way…still lots of work to go…
See you in a few days!
