It has been a whirl wind of a month and a half! I can't believe that it's been so long since last posting, but I have something to show for it!
A great college buddy and fabulous artist, Steve Blume, came to stay with us for week from Indiana. This is Steve.
This photo was taken at a Korean Barbeque place in Beaverton. I believe that our photos are by the entrance now labeled "People not to serve at the grill tables" now. All staff is now warned about us. This is why.
We killed the grill. Oops. In all seriousness, we felt bad about it, but we didn't realize how bad it was until we were done. I wonder how many hours were spent cleaning it? Horrible us. On another note, I quite enjoyed the scizzors that they gave us for the Bulgogi, and decided that the scizzors alone were worth the visit.
The blurriness of this photo has nothing to do with the fact that Steve indulged in a little Saki. Well, maybe it does, but it was a freaking blast!
The three of us did some site seeing together inbetween Matthew's and my workshifts -
Chinatown in Portland, Oregon -
Looking out at Portland from the edge of Washington Park.
Our dream house of a four story villa style home on the edge of Washington Park, Portland, Oregon.
Matthew and Steve inside the Arboretum in Washington Park. We loved the scenery around the trails and it took us a long time...try walking this with two other artists and you'll understand. We stopped nearly every minute in order to take a photo or two for future references. Really loved this place!
The following week led to the Undressing Room exhibition at Froelick Gallery.
This one is not posed.
and then from the Japanese Gardens in Portland to the Multnomah Falls...
we had a lot of laughs. This is my view from the bridge looking down to see Matthew's Dad and then of the falls.
The following photo is my favorite though. We were parked in at the falls. Yes, it was our own fault for using a bus parking space, but there were no buses anywhere and all the others were filled with cars as well. (Yes, we jumped off the cliff, just as our friends did.) Anyway, this photo is right before the Great Incident of 2012. After waiting for 20 minutes or so, Matthew's father took the matter into his own hands after much debate. He jumped the curb, drove over the grassy knoll and miraculously got the car to the exiting road without any damage of any sort. It was the most awsome moment seeing him drive across there in the white rental car...I completely wish we would have captured a photo of that, but at least I burned it into my memory. We ran across the lawn, fanatically waving our arms and laughing to greet him and get our behinds in the car. Perfect family moment in my book!
Also, it is the rebirth era of my Etsy shop, OnePebbleStudio. New logo, new banner, and new works! I've decided to list at least one new work at the end of every week. Instead of prints, I am now selling all original works. Have a visit at the new shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/OnePebbleStudio
Thanks for your patience and reading! Hope you are enjoying your summer!

The Preview Show and First Thursday were back-to-back fun. I met a lot of fellow artists featured in the show (such as Suzy Kitman in the photo above), enjoyed seeing our great friends and meeting new ones there. The turn out was absolutely amazing, and I was so happy to be a part of it.
Next up, Matthew's parents were coming to visit us for a week and we did tons of sight seeing together. So great to see them! This is a beautifully posed family photo at Cannon Beach.
From Cannon Beach to Cape Meares...

Since then, it's been back to the studio!
All of these images and words may be just one big blur, but I have enjoyed all the experiences and felt this post was necessary. It was a time of enjoying others and gathering and exploring new experiences and images for future works that I really am looking forward to creating. I will be back to posting more regularly and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your patience and reading! Hope you are enjoying your summer!
