I’ve just returned from spending four days with my Salem Art Group at a cabin in the woods\u00a0along the Metolius River<\/a>. We left on Thursday morning — I took a small suitcase with clothes, a big suitcase with art supplies, my espresso machine, some food, my art journal, and a half case of kombucha.<\/p>\n

Arrived. A sweet\u00a0cabin located on US Forest Service land.<\/p>\n

Everyone worked on their own projects. Tory won the award for most versatile, especially when she whipped out her harmonica and started playing a blues tune.<\/p>\n

The rest of the gang: Nancy, Katy (it was her cabin), and Kathy in the photos below (and Joanna, who was inside the cabin with her sewing machine). A lot of oil and cold wax was being spread . . . . and even a little gelli plate action.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We had a visit from a Forest Service Ranger who was looking for a water line using a water witching technique\u00a0with two pieces of a wire coat hanger.\u00a0Of course, we had to give it a try.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4130\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I worked on several projects: oil and cold wax on 8×8 and 6×6\u00a0cradled wood boards\u00a0and I also did some acrylics on watercolor paper for making cards. (I finished the cards, but not the boards.)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4175\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It wasn’t all art all the time. On Saturday, we walked to the headwaters of the Metolius River\u00a0and then to Jack Creek.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4210\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_4216\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_4222\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just what I needed. Several days of making art, laughing, eating healthy, going on daily walks, and getting plenty of sleep.<\/p>\n
