It is busy here with holiday preparations, so I will keep this short & to the point!
In case you missed my last post, I took some of my figurative work to the Clackamas County Public Services Building in Oregon City yesterday. The address and hours are:
December 10, 2013 – March 11, 2014
2051 Kaen Road, 2nd floor, Oregon City, Oregon 97045
Mon-Thurs. 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.
While there, I met another neighbor who is a photographer, Chip Greendale. I love knowing there are other creatives close by.

Congratulations on being accepted for WFWS. Your series is just terrific. Great to see the names of other Oregon artists that were accepted and kudos to them. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Hal!
Hi Ruth–Terrific to see that you and Kathy Tiger both have paintings in the calendar. it is fun for me to know such creative fun women artists!
Congratulations on your acceptance into WFWS. Pretty soon all the initials after your signature will take up the width of the work. You’re onto a very appealing series, Ruth.
