The Chair Affair 2008

Recently I was asked to participate in the 2nd Annual Community Warehouse Chair Affair here in Portland. Artists from all over were asked to come down to the warehouse, pick out a chair, take it home, do it up with some art and donate it to be auctioned off to raise money for the Community Warehouse which helps low income families get their homes furnished. I'm usually too selfish for this kind of stuff but I said what the heck.

Date: April 17, 2008

Place: Art Institute of Portland, 1122 NW Davis

Time: 6:00 - 9:00 pm

Here's my chair to begin with, it's pretty gross, but we'll see what I can do...

***UPDATE*** :: Here's the finished chair. It's called, "Just Sittin' in the Rain" And a special "THANK YOU!" to my Mom for reupholstering the cushions. High five Mom!

Some new work in the works...

Here's a quick shot of some fresh paint from the studio. Will be doing a bunch of similar ones for the show in Ventura in April.
4' x 2' on 3 panels.

A beautiul day in my neighborhood...

A view from our porch a few days ago. Mount St. Helens and the Freemont Bridge. You can also see Mount Rainier behind Helens and to the left.... that's a loooooong ways away.

Special Winter Treat

Ahhhhh yes.... a sweet winter treat on the Oregon coast. Sunny, Offshore and freezing cold!
