Oregon margO

 We are gearing up for our first adventure to Portland, Oregon! I have the opportunity to get cozy with the Northwest at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts. Below are the four encaustic paintings that are currently showing at the PCPA until mid March.I am excited to check out Portland and I hope you are as well. I know that the 'robots' have been taking the front stage in the studio for the last year or so however, I am excited to have the minimal and abstract work meet 2012. I will be curious to see what the art scene is like in Portland. I have heard so many great things about Portland and the art scene there. Feburary 2nd from 5 to 9pm I will be at PCPA talking art. Will you?

So to Portland or Bust! I have just received some of my postcards and business cards I created for our journey. Just below are two finished paintings I showed you (in process) last week. Take a gander.

I had a dream last month. I was walking out side a typical suburbia home in California and I saw a huge crack in the driveway. I walked over to check it out. As I saw this deep crack I got down on my hands and knees, peering even further into the cracked driveway which reveal a golden and Godly light to another place. All of a sudden I saw all these little coffee beans on the driveway next to my hands. I looked at them. Right before my eyes all the little tiny coffee beans started morphing into little rhinos. As the coffee beans magically turned into rhinos they ran away into the heavenly light. I woke up and one month later painted my friend rhino with her ever faithful bird by her side.
