Art Fest

Art Fest is coming soon! This Saturday, July 11, members of the The Green Cab artists’ group will be showing art, talking art and making art at the studio of Helvi Smith in Forest Grove.

We’ll be there from 10 am to 4 pm, counting our blessings that the temperature is only supposed to be 81 instead of the 90+ temperatures we’ve had for the past couple of weeks.

I hear the Artosaur, my friend Christine’s latest project (because who doesn’t need a 6 foot sculpture of a T Rex to scope out art events around town?!) will be there too.

You know it’s hot in the studio when…

Paint bottles

…the heat is making the paint bottles pop open! The Portland area is having a heat wave like nothing I can remember in my 24 years here. I don’t have air conditioning in the studio, so paint is drying too fast even in the late morning. Paintings are coming along very slowly and I’m keeping busy with other projects for now.
