Portland Fine Arts Guild talk and demonstration
Monday evening I gave a talk and small demonstration to the Portland Fine Arts Guild. they were so receptive to what I had to say and to my art work. It was a pleasure talking with them.
Everyone made me feel so welcome, and had a lot of questions which made the interchange fun.
I would like to thank Marianne Stokes for inviting me to speek. I met her last June when she was checking out her work at the Lake Oswego Art Festival. It is always nice to get to know another artist.

NEW ACRYLIC PAINTING TITLED "CAVE OF TREES"

acrylic on canvas, 27" x 46" $2,480.00
What is this woman doing in this cave of trees? Does she have a secret affinity to the birds that live in this dark place? What secrets are hidden under the lock of the key she holds?Is she checking to make sure she has not been followed?Perhaps there is a magic in the feathers she has gathered from her winged friends.

INTERNATIONAL PHOTO SHOOT, PORTLAND, CHINATOWN
This was a most interesting day, I had no idea that I would find so many things to take pictures of just walking a few blocks in the city. There were about 50 people on this shoot.
"WHICH CAME FIRST"
Bill spotted these interesting signs and windows and I took the shot.
"FLY BY"
I love this bird flying by the bricks overhead, and the repeat of the white in the mortar of the brick. Click on the picture to get a larger view.

"JUXTAPOSITION"
The contrast from the Chinese gate to the contemporary office building really caught my eye here, as well as the repeatition of the angles.

"WAITING FOR THE BUSS"
That is Bill waiting for the bus and me.
Bill & I both went with Laurie Excell on this photo shoot. Laurie was the organizer of this event here in Portland. She is also our very talented neighbor. A professional photographer who photographers wonderful wild life and nature.Visit her blog at http://www.laurieexcell.blog.com/
It was really fun looking for things that might make interesting pictures on the streets of Portland.

CONCOURS D' ELEGANCE
Bill wanted to go see this fabulas car show and I was so glad I took my camera and tripod.

Gleaming chrome and paint that seems to be as deep as a lake, a picture paradise for anyone who loves playing with a camera.
THE BEAUTY OF CRATER LAKE
We took an impromptu trip to go see this beautiful lake. So close to home but we had never spent any time there. It was a three day trip that we enjoyed so much it seemed like a longer vacation.


CRATER LAKE, BEAUTY ALL AROUND

ROMANTIC BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, NEW ACRYLIC PAINTING

AMERICAN EXPRESSIONISM "ECSTASY IN RED" 20" x 37" Acrylic
This new painting is part of a series of figurative women, all in red. I find the color red to be dromatic and femme fatale when painting romantic and beautiful women. Red is also a color I associate with theatrics and drama, both qualities I like to portray in my work. The women in this painting is in ecstasy over something she has seen or heard.

NOT A WAY TO START OUT THE YEAR

I was invited to have a piece of my art work in the Lake Oswego Visual Chronicle this year during Art Festival in June. It is an honor to be invited. The only requirement is that it in some way relate to Lake Oswego and or it's people. It is a chellenge to do something that is fresh and exciting. The city usually purchases one of the pieces for there permanent art collection.
