You may have noticed a lack of activity on this
site for awhile. After an extended illness my husband died in February.
Now is the time to put into action all my talk about the healing power
of art.
So let's start with some November Art Field Trip adventures of my
Portland Community College Willow Creek class on Art Journaling. The
Willow Creek campus is on the Portland MAX train line. Each MAX stop
features some kind of local art. We stopped at almost every station and
checked out the art.
There was a dramatic moment when several of us couldn't get on the
train before the doors closed. Between cell phones and good weather, it
didn't really matter.
After the art stops we all went to lunch at a revived old movie theater
in downtown Hillsboro. It's called the Venetian and is a lovely bistro
and bar. The theater is still showing classic movies every week. I
recommend a nice train ride to Hillsboro and dinner and a movie for a
fun night out.
I'll be resuming regular Art offerings now and plan to make Art the
center of my new life. It's good to be back.
