Encounters with art and poetry of the Pacific NW
This blog highlights some of the art and poetry events around the Pacific Northwest.
Generally, either James Bertolino or I write a posting every so often. We'd like to write weekly, but our schedule doesn't allow that luxury yet.
It is also a place where I can talk about what we've been up to, and where we're showing
or what we've published, but we extend that to include the work of other poets and artists.
Ink Tub
New drawings every week
It's like a dare without being a challenge. We're casually serious. The artists are myself, Anita K. Boyle/Bertolino, and my daughter, the great Angela Boyle.
The drawings are always in ink. We can use a brush,
a nib pen, a ball point pen, or even a stick, as long as on one end is ink, and on the other end
is our hand. We do quick 30-minute basic drawings and then can go a little further with the details,
if we can find enough time in the busy lives we lead these days.
