It's official

The new website is up, at the usual location.

If the weather permits, I go to the coast on Sunday to get some Pacific ocean water. I'll be stopping by my senior's farm where his wife has collected soils from the S. Dakota farm, their Sauvi Island farm, water from the Columbia and from the Willamette, all ready for me to pick up. I haven't heard from my senior's son yet...he was supposed to get me water from the St. Claire. Not sure what's happening on that front. May have to call or find someone else to get it for me.

I've gotten really good feedback on the book arts list over using the ocean water, river water and soil for the book, so that's been great. I've been forming a lot of different ideas in my head in the last few days, imagery-wise, as the website work was winding down and I could focus on the book more.

Tomorrow is my 2nd to last beginning Gocco class. Got a good deal for one of those 6' long folding tables at Office Max today so now I have a bit more table surface to work with. It will be better, I think. This will be the first time I'll have 5 students in the space (that'd be 6 people in the space including me); I'll find out just how spacious it REALLY is.

Just checked out the new layout and I like it! What happened to your story? Or maybe that's a memoir?

You mean the Ferry Tale? I haven't worked on it for so long, I figured I'd put it up again when I get back to it.

How do you do it...teaching...making art...keeping up a few blogs and creating a lovely website! You are my hero.

Thanks, PhotoBrea and Helen, glad that you like the new website. I've needed to do this for a long time...I'm still tweaking it here and there.

whoo! wish i knew when classes were added: didn't know you taught gouache! i don't really see you promote classes on the blog or on facebook, either. :)

The gouache classes are new, I finalized them at the time I updated the website. I mentioned it on facebook, but you were probably in Morocco at the time. I have 3 people signed up for the Beg and 1 for the Cont already. I'm very excited about those! (Not to mention a paint company found out I was teaching gouache, sent me a very generous package of samples!)
