Featured Artist: Anne Moore<\/h2>\n
Above, Chronicles<\/em>, original monotype, 10×20<\/h6>\n

Anne is featured once again as artist of the month at Sandstone Gallery<\/strong> in Laguna Beach. Her opening is tonight, during the Laguna Art Walk<\/strong>. Anybody within reasonable distance is invited to come by.<\/p>\n

Besides Sandstone, her work is also now included at Westervelt Fine Art<\/strong>. That’s in the Laguna\u00a0Design Center <\/strong>in Laguna Niguel, California, a gallery for design professionals and their clients. It’s good to see her work is being recognized like this, with its tasteful sophistication and\u00a0delicate\u00a0nuance.<\/p>\n

Another New Gallery<\/h2>\n

As of the close of last year, my paintings have been included in the offering at “A” Gallery<\/strong> on the famed El Paseo Drive in Palm Desert, California. It’s in an area of many new houses and many visitors, particularly in the winter months. The street is home to a number of fine galleries with some very good art.<\/p>\n

As each gallery generally features a certain kind of art, “A Gallery” has my figure studies, these two examples veering toward the abstract. The gallery owners are hopeful about this new addition, and I’m grateful for that. We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n

New Blog, “Blank Slate”<\/h2>\n
Above, samples of the simple art that has accompanied the Blank Slate posts. Sometimes they’re drawings, sometimes paintings, and in the future, who knows what? The blog is listed at the top or click here to see all posts.\u00a0<\/a><\/h6>\n

I’m happy with the response to the new “literary” blog. That’s what one friend called it. It is “words” oriented, in contrast to this “art” blog (the e-gallery). Some 400 readers are now subscribed to Blank Slate, receiving the link via e-mail. As the intro text says: It’s “a random collections of thoughts and sketches, poems, prosems<\/em> and sometimes psalms, art-related or not . . .” The blank slate<\/em>\u00a0is a vague reference to my own mind, which though not really so blank anymore, still has much to take in, mull over, and pour out. It’s a world view expressed<\/strong>, with thoughts long held or recent. The comments back are encouraging and sometimes help round out the message. All posts are archived on this Hyatt Moore website under “Blank Slate.” \u00a0To subscribe, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Going to Oregon<\/h2>\n

Each year at this time we take some trip. The excuse is our anniversary. Anne has sometimes said she’d like to go some place and just stay for awhile. So I started scouting around (the world) and came upon the website of an artist’s studio for rent in Toledo, Oregon. It’s a renovated Justice of the Peace building from yesteryear . . . just two rooms, one with a bed, the other with skylights. Toledo is on the Siletz River running down to the coast at Newport, a short distance away. We plan to be there three weeks.<\/p>\n

The benefit of it being within driving distance of home (two days) is that we can take all the stuff we need for art making. The most challenging is Anne’s table-top press. But with the van, it’ll be fine. We’ll also be taking her sewing machine, various computers, a bolt of canvas, cameras, books, umbrellas, the kitchen sink . . . the basics.<\/p>\n

Happily, a friend from Anchorage, who is very ready for a little less dark and a little less cold, will be\u00a0occupying\u00a0our house while we’re gone. Actually, we’re already beginning to miss our southern California weather too, but Oregon will have its beauty, we have our work to keep us busy, and our 46 years to celebrate.<\/p>\n
