Double Dozen

I have an opportunity to participate in a group show this September. I was invited as one of twelve participating artists in the Lisa Harris Gallery to select another WA state artist, who they want to "double up" with in this exhibition. I respond to the undulating imagery of Tacoma printmaking artist and UPS instructor Janet Marcavage, and I asked her to show one her prints. She willingly accepted. I decided to offer a few paintings sidelined in my storage racks to submit to the gallery. The show opens Thursday, September 5th. http://www.lisaharrisgallery.com/exhibitions.php.

Tacoma Museum of Glass

After days of hot weather here in the Northwest we're convinced the endless summer is finally upon us. Living now in the "city of museums", I've seen momentous changes indicating this city with its spectactular view of Mount Rainer is moving in the right direction. I love Foss Waterway, with moorage leading into the beautiful Commencement Bay. What's not to notice about the Glass Museum, that I appreciate almost as much as I enjoy drinks outdoors with my friend Yvonne Saville on a warm summer night experiencing the activity of the waterway nearby.

Nature Works

After several early morning walks to the Tacoma waterfront, I decided I'd take my iphone with me this morning. Since my studio is pending build out in a new location in my building and funding for sheet rock and labor is slow, I decided to capture details of nature during this hiatus.
