Twice a year, the Portland Art Collective<\/em><\/a> holds an art retreat at Menucha<\/em><\/a>, a conference and retreat center, located about 45 minutes east of Portland. It begins on Friday afternoon and runs through Sunday. We each set up our space in the Greenhouse and make art. And visit. And walk. And sleep. We also horse around.<\/p>\n

\"Horse<\/a><\/p>\n

And eat gourmet-ish food prepared especially for us.<\/p>\n

And wear silly noses on Friday night.<\/p>\n

But primarily, we made art. I took 22 boards, varying in size from 6×6 inches to 10×10 inches. I didn’t get any of them finished, but I moved some along from meager beginnings and got some initial layers down on virgin boards.<\/p>\n

\"WIP\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Work<\/a><\/p>\n

And before I knew it, I was laying waxed paper between my boards and packing them up, ready to continue working on them in my studio.<\/p>\n

\"Boards<\/a><\/p>\n

In the meantime, here are some photos of the happy artists at work (and play).<\/p>\n
