Visit to a gallery and a finished painting
On Saturday last week, my sister and I visited Willie Dicks Taphouse in Kalama to see an exhibit at their gallery. It included artworks with the theme of water by several artists that we knew, including Michael Kay, Jack Androvich, and Cheryl Herndon. We enjoyed seeing the work and had a nice lunch. I hadn’t…

Evolution of a painting
I am still working on the painting from my class in January with Tom Wheeler, a copy of one of his paintings of the East Fork of the Lewis River. I am a slow painter, so although some people in the class finished their paintings in the two sessions, I had to take mine home…

State of My Current Project
A guy I met at the last art fair suggested I paint smaller paintings so I can get them done quicker and sell them for less. All of my paintings are 16 x 20 or 18 x 24, but the one I am working on now is 11 x 14, just by coincidence, since I…

Another art show
My latest art show was at Art in the Garden in the Wildlife Botanical Gardens in Brush Prairie. It was a well-attended show where you have to be invited to have a booth. I was not invited, but I was one of eight artists in the double-sized Battle Ground Art Association booth. The BGAA has…

An upcoming art show
I signed up to be in the Battle Ground Art Alliance booth for Art in the Garden. This is an invitation-only event, so it should have a lot of good artists. I am one of five people in the BGAA booth. It will be a little less difficult than the last two shows, because everyone…

Our second art fair
It’s unfortunate that our next art fair was only 9 days after the first one, because I was whipped and overheated at times. This time, the weather was worse. It got up in the mid-80s today, and it’s supposed to be even hotter tomorrow. It also seemed very hot when we were setting up our…

Our first art show
I had some art in a show last fall, but I was only tagging along in my sister’s booth. She had made all the arrangements, so I just helped make price tags and put up and man the booth. I didn’t sell anything that time except a print that I had already arranged to sell,…

Spring Art Show “Creating Space” at Plas Newydd Farm
Today my relatives and I attended the Creating Space art show at Plas Newydd Farm, which is right next to the lower Lewis River in Ridgefield. The day was beautiful, and the setting was magnificent. The old Columbia Lancaster House is on the historic register, and all of the downstairs rooms were used for the…

Fantasy at Art Chat
This month’s Battle Ground Art Chat featured as speaker Deborah Fay Morales, who does fantasy art, using different media but usually including pen and ink techniques. Her drawings are incredibly elaborate and detailed. I didn’t take any photos there, but I copied one of her drawings off her web site (Ragnarok Studio) just so you…

I finish the Pansies painting
On Wednesday, I put the centers into the pansies on my painting and we declared it finished. The photos I have been taking of it in class with my phone don’t show up very well because of the reflections off the colors. I’m hoping that the photographer can take a better photo after it dries.…
