About Me

My Photo
The idea for COLOR BRIDGES came from many sources. Portland State College 1962,Professor Frederick Heidel's first painting assignment was to make a grid and explore mixing colors to arrange on the grid to see how they would look. Moving these painted pieces of paper on different backgrounds bring back 4 years of studying painting with Heidel. Each arrangement I have made are like his assignments. They have a goal of basics while allowing the emotions freedom. Another source was Professor Mary MacIntire at Western Washington University who was a member of Fiber Design and I had the honor of photographing for a statement about her process. She used to move around pieces of colored paper to design her fiber works.

Two boys playing at Frenchglen Hotel State Heritage Site, Oregon State Park

The Frenchglen Hotel offers dinners, breakfasts and lunches. From the dinning table window I painted this picture the snowy morning of April 4, 2012. The atmosphere of the hotel is very quaint. The birds, cotton tail rabbits, and deer are well fed too.
