an old video of pics of seaside

herb and dorothy, very interesting

Just watched this film and feel guilty I didn't see it some time ago.  I wont wait to so long to see 50X50.  They made a life of collecting art and artists akin to the way i have made art my life.  Their generosity is compelling and very moving.  Its amazing what unselfish love can do.  They have given it all to the public to be viewed and discussed.  The best thing about the collection is that so much of it is not easily digestible.  Its work that represents, in many cases the artist's process or concepts that require thought and review.  Not the stuff typically spoon fed to the public for free.

Favorite pic of sunset

I have so many pics, thought I had lost this one.

Lost pic of cedar splinters

Always a joy to find a good pic of a sold project that you don't have well documented.

Cost of education

Many years ago I made a critical miscalculation . I thought I could drop out of OSU and come back to it later. 25 years later, after several failed attempts, I am still trying to figure out how to get back. How to get that done for myself. Today as I read over the info for several different programs it was the cost that overwhelmed me. 23 to 28,000 a year? Even if I could finance it how can I earn enough after to justify spending 90,000? How does anyone? Is there something I am missing here? How can make this work?

Maybe I'll throw a benefit art auction for myself..,,

Talking sculpture today made me think of my two fav artists, movana chen and antonio mak

Movana Chen is a vibrant artist who weaves her sculptures from paper, Antonio Mak passed on some time ago but his small, textured pieces are raw and full of life.  I plan on owning one some day.  He was remarkable for being able to build a scene. He threw art shows in old buildings, etc...  he lived his art

PNCA

Took a look at the Pacific Northwest Collage of Art today. It felt like home. I keep asking myself "why school?" Not sure I have the answer yet. I just want to do it. I want to be there. I want to give myself the opportunity to experience it.

Met a sculptor there named Katie Dunbar. Check her work out @ http://www.katiedunbar.com/
