April 2018

Easter Bunnies!


Avocado Plant Tea?



                                                                          Stripes!


Division Street view from a picnic table...


View from our lunch table....


Where rooftops converge...


                                                Martha's Coffee Shop at Revolution Hall...


March 2018



When the view on the counter is more interesting than the view out the window...

A new book and lilies...








One out of a row of three Episcopal doors....



A row of pots of cyclamen from the opening of the shop...


Quince from the garden....


Sitting at a wobbly picnic table, making crooked lines and a crooked tree...


What I saw from the front steps....


St. Honore and a birthday, and mouse that K knit for P.



Little lambs and ivy (and other vegetation)...



February 2018
































Goodnight moon.

The Vase Book

This all started with an actual Pennsylvania Dutch (Fraktur)  design posted by JWS, who has introduced me to so much wonderful art on FB.  



Then one thing led to another.


























Thanks for the inspiration, Jan!

January 2018

I was making patterns in circles...



and I drew on toned paper.

A family at the Portland Art Museum


Behind the Museum Cafe


The Japanese Garden, from the Tea House



In the NW Hostel


View of the NW Hostel from World Cup Coffee.  
My friend, Nancy used to live on the second floor of this building. Now it's part of the hostel  
It's surprising that the tree is already in bloom--a hopeful sign!
