Knots in My Scalene
Finishing a gift for a friend.
A visual representation
of a therapeutic massage
experience.
Not a figurative piece.
An anatomy piece.

Summer Feet + Many Summer Things = ...
To
see the summer sky
is poetry,
though never in a book it lie
—
true poems
flee—
Emily Dickinson, c.1879
My summer...
I have spent many hours
sitting
in this front porch turquoise chair...
sometimes sketching van Gogh in thirty minutes or less.
[marker, sharpie, oil sticks & mineral spirits, q-tips]
I gave it the title,
Someone stole her beer so now she's even more depressed.
The sun
sneaks in.
An evening stroll down the hill.
August leaf drop.
Visitors.
Invaluable time spent.
Handstands with friends.
Summer in the city.
Riding the MAX.
Interesting compositions.
Cycling in the Columbia Gorge,
this has to be the greenest place on earth.
Bridge of the Gods.
A light summer shower = slippery cycling on the bridge.
Secret spots in the forest...
where I do quiet things...
things that soothe my temperament...
things that allow my breath to
replenish...
things like this.
Sailboat summer
breakfast.
Sailing + Dawn = a new relationship, lots to learn.
Gorge paddling on the Columbia River.
City kayaking on the Columbia River.
Ya know...
Now that I have all this listed I realized...
this is a typical summer week.
Once the rain sets in in autumn...
I will retreat indoors...
sorta.

Autumn = time to get back to making art.

Croppings of Eleven Things
I have created a body of work
containing eleven individual pieces of art.
A home brew of
encaustic wax medium
(beeswax and damar crystals)
is the main material.
Some contain hand-spread plaster
mixed in an old cereal bowl...
some have metallic leaf
pressed into their surface...
a few embody photo copies of
trees and crows in the Columbia Gorge...
glassine was used with three
pieces to achieve a different
textural quality...
most have home-rusted
tie wire...
oil paint and pigments...
some are on wooden substrates
I already possessed and the large-scale
pieces I build the panels from scratch...
each one is different from the other,
yet some have similar components,
indicating they could be diptychs and triptychs...
the story of my imagery
spans from hanging out my bedroom window
attempting to capture crows in deciduous winter walnut trees
to
pulling off on the side of many roads along the Columbia River
trying to catch that moment where the dense fog lurks around the trees.
