Peeps and I had a wonderful time in Bend experimenting with encaustic collagraphs. Thanks to Ron Schultz for showing me how to use the encaustic to make a printing plate.

Oil and pastel...
The Big Questions: Is it Finished? Does the work feel Complete? Am I quitting because I’m Tired of squinting at yellow?
Thinking about this for a show submission in June. After seeing a Picasso at the SAM where he used pastel with oil, I made an experiment and enjoy how it’s turning out. A part of me wants to hang the work upside down. The stalks are so tall, when is the last time anyone has looked down into the face of a sunflower unless it was in a vase?
Jan Zach sculpture...
“Marching Women” an extraordinary sculpture by Jan Zach, was welcomed to it’s new home today at Clackamas Community College. Kate Simmons, Gallery Curator and sculptor in her own right, facilitated the acquisition of the piece for the campus. Olinka Broadfoot spoke about her mentor and friend, Jan Zach, and how his support furthered her career as a sculptor.
The sculpture is constructed of multiples of like shapes. One alone is not remarkable. Together they are formidable. It’s amazing how strong we become when we link arms and encourage each other.
It must be spring...
