Grass on the brain–getting a new lawn today. Here are three grass drawings I did for the new book of Adele Birnbaum’s poems “What Got Me Here”, now available for $9.95 at the Willamette University Bookstore:
We’re just playing–here’s a drawing of my favorite house with tree–both now gone.
Copies of the drawings came home to me at last, so here are a few views of the cabin for Judy, which is now, already, in construction. She’s not wasting any time….
The house will have a wrapping porch on two sides: the one facing the lake, and the one facing south. Should be a nice place to hang out.
This is the side of the building with the main entry door, and shows the rest of the porch.
Here you can see the pair of windows in the kitchen and the window in the sleeping loft.
I am hoping for construction photos by and by. Stay tuned.
Just to give you a flavor of D Street life these days, here is a card I made for Amy on our day, as we swept, wiped, washed, cleaned, painted, vacuumed. Oh what joy!
Electra is the name of our vacuum….
Went to Local Ocean Seafood (best restaurant on the coast–Newport Bay front) for lunch on our 40th anniversary which coincidentally is the last day of summer. It was a summery day and of course I had my drawing book:
Happy, happy anniversary, you two. We love you, and offer three cheers – no make that four cheers – from afar.
Stockholm then reminded me of this one, from 3300 LSD in Chicago, looking west from the dining room. This was a “big sky moment.” We miss this view….
Your view of Portland last week sent me scrambling – I remembered a sketch made on the deck of a ship years ago. And voila! I found it buried in the files. I found a few more too. Stay tuned.
Drove up to Portland last evening and it was one of those big sky moments–tons and tons of clouds in a riotous set of formations.
Just got my ticket to go visit Midge in Phoenix this fall, so here’s a bouquet she picked and put on the table during the week we spent in Umbria. There were 9 of us and Midge cooked wonderful meals.
and here she is herself in Firenze:
