Drawing it Down - Portland, Oregon

Drawing Series, Colored Pencil, 16"x7"

Drawing it Down 2: Making your Marks in Public is a community event designed to build bridges between artists and community. It's the brain child of Buff Medb Neretin who wants to foster arts awareness in education.  It was sponsored by Arts on the Peninsula & the St. John's Neighborhood Association.  

Art making is typically a solitary activity. However, working in a group setting is somehow more motivating.  The focused energy of others can act as muse.  I can also relate it to community acupuncture, of course, which draws upon the power of group energy.  It's all about the energy.

I think some of my drawings will eventually become sculptures.

Circle Community Acupuncture

One of the things that I love about community acupuncture (CA) is that we refer patients and their families to other CA practitioners across the country. And we know that they will receive consistent quality care.  David, sporting one of my hats for those cold San Francisco mornings is one of the acupunks at Circle Community Acupuncture.  Now is a great time to get some acupuncture!

September Back to School Special 

Classes are back in session... time for acupuncture. School is hard on everyone; students, teachers, and administrators.  Late night studying, early classes, studying, lesson planning, grading, paperwork, schedule juggling, erratic diet... all of this is very stressful and hard on your health.   

If you are a student, teacher or school administrator, Circle CA wants to give you a break.  For the entire month of September we will give you acupuncture treatments for only $10 all day Saturday and Sunday.  This offer is good every time students, teachers, and administrators receive treatments -- every weekend throughout the month.

To get your $10 acupuncture, schedule an appointment on-line or call the front desk (415) 864-1070.  Let us know that you are a student, teacher, or administrator and that you are taking advantage of the special.  It is available on Saturdays and Sundays for new and returning patients throughout the month of September.

Looking at past work and current work & thinking about ideas for future work. 
"Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable.  What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility Only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present." 
-T.S. Eliot, Ceramic, July 2011, 12"x11"x 6"
