Springing Forth

Tab and I have been going to PCC Sylvania for the past couple of weeks, doing our usual thing. We've had a warm reception there and I think we'll be making more of a habit of going. This week, we are coming back for Tuesday - Thursday from about 10am - 4pm.

The really big news is that Saturday Market comes back this weekend! Boy have we missed it. We're currently preparing for the big comeback, and I hope to have prints up of my new work. The originals are in our gallery, which we will be reopening with a big to-do soon enough.

March is here and Portland is soon to come alive again with those art walks and events we love so much. The weather has been amazing (yay for early spring!) and I think all the early blossoming has inspired me a bit. I have been painting recently with bright, vibrant colors. Here is one that I'm working on now. I'm waiting for it to dry so I can finish it.



I've also just hung a good selection of my Numberism work at Boyd's Coffee house in the Eliot tower, including the "Transitional" fall tree set. This is really a selection of my favorite pieces on display, including larger prints "In the Embrace", "La Morte D'Ase" and "Gotham".



Other than all this, I've had a chance to take more time doing things I love lately. I went sailing with a couple friends the other week, took a drive up to the Oregon coast just yesterday, I am studying German with a friend, and I'm enjoying stealing trade secrets from my chef friend whose specialty just happens to be Asian cuisine. With a few tips, a couple new tools and a trip to Fu Bon, I'm nearly jumping around the house with joy. All that food I missed so much from China, I'm now learning how to make myself. Thank you, Kenna.

All of these things are made possible by the wonderful people I've found here in Portland. :) Big smiles, and eager hands. Time to work, and time to play!
