Art Show

Dear People, there is an art show for the month of July starting the 6th at the LaSalle Stewart Center. July 16th is the reception. It always is a great show showing all kinds of wonderful art, and getting together with old friends. Please mark this on your calendars. Yo will not regret it. Have a great Fourth of July.

Recession vs. Depression

Dear People: I was in three galleries in Oregon. All three are now closed. Forrrest Temple in Corvallis closed last year around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Opus 6 in Eugene,and George Broderick Gallery in Lake Oswego, closed a couple of weeks ago. Problem is that with so many wonderful artists here, we need a place for our work to be displayed so that the public can appreciate the beauty. Times will turn around, and I hope for the country, things will turn around quickly. In the meantime, we must continue to paint to bring beauty to our world. So have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend, and paint, paint, paint.

Winter Crossing

Women Are Fickle

Dear People, Regina got tired of the new look, and decided on another new look. She states, she likes this one better. We both hope you caught the Gazette Times Entertainer two Fridays ago where in the “Artist Spotlight” they pick an artist each week to talk about and show three samples of their work. Regina was extremely pleased with the Gazette Times, and e-mailed them a thank you.  So enjoy the new look of my web/log, and enjoy the coming of SPRING.

New Look

Regina gave my weblog a new look. She also added my weblog onto Facebook so that more people will see my work. So all you artists out there check it out, and maybe we can all use Facebook to do some advertising of our work. It doesn’t cost anything, and nothing ventured, nothing gained. Have a great day.

Herbie's Flowers

Winter Wedding

Samantha's Wedding

Herbie has gone to the Big Apple for his Grand-daughter’s wedding. A real, big, lifetime event. All the family will be there, and it should be a great reunion for him. However, the weather is going to be snowy right after the wedding, and he might have to stay longer. They expect 8 inches of snow. When Herbie returns I am sure, he will be so HAPPY to be home. Hope he takes lots of pictures at the wedding. It would be great for me to see his family. So, have a good weekend everyone. Enjoy Oregon, and do not complain about the rain.

Facebook

Still Life with Brass Bowl and Fruit

A friend of Regina’s invited her to go on Facebook. Well, Regina loves playing with pictures on the computer as well as painting them. So, she has started an album I invite you to see. It has photos of friends, family, and paintings that we do. Hope you enjoy. Enjoy the Oscars!!

New Pictures To See

Dear People: I often think that after awhile, on a web site or blog, pictures should be changed so that people get more of a perspective of the kind of work you do, and also you do not want anyone to get bored, do you? So I changed some pictures, and I hope you like what you see. Please leave me your comments. Have a great day!!

Portland Shops

Happy New Year

Dear People:  We are now entering 2009. We do not know what this year will bring, we can only hope it will be Peace On Earth, Good Health, and a Better Economy for everyone. Since  the economy now is on a downer, so are art sales. This is no excuse to stop painting. Let us paint, paint, paint, and make the world a more beautiful place for everyone in our troubled times.

Regina’s Painting

Now it is time to blow Regina’s horn. Let me give her a break. She finished a sunset coastal acrylic painting called “The Sentenial.” It is with Pegasus’s December show, and is hanging with another painting she did plus one of mine, so the two of us are sharing a wall in the “Old World Deli.” Regina figures she would get more exposure in the restaurant. She is very happy for the opportunity given her to have her work viewed by her beloved Corvallis.

Goodbye Forrest Temple Gallery

Dear People:

Forrest Temple opened up 5 years ago. It brought to the City of Corvallis a wonderous place of art, furniture, lighting, and accessories for these items. I have been there for most of the time as their artist in residence. With all the beautiful items surrounding me, I felt like I was in heaven. Other artists besides myself, got to exhibit their works, and give people an overall view of some of the art world. Now, with the economic meltdown, Forrest Temple is closing its doors. There is a special sale starting Friday, for 3 days. If you can, come in, look around, enjoy the atmosphere of all this beauty, and maybe, take advantage of the sale. Hope to see you all drop by.
