Some quick pictures with my 9 Pro Fold

Yesterday's breakfast.

Sautéed some greens dusted with Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. Added two eggs for sunny-side-up, again dusted with cheese and salt and pepper, placed under broiler and then served.

Just need a ceaser to go with it.

The last few days. The Schack Art Center in Everett (Navy Home Port, Boeing Factory Town, Lumber) and the Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens in Everett. So this exhibition was not "art for art's sake" but art as a possible career.

Art can lead to employment including designing Boeing jet interiors. The Schack has a mission to bring art to the people and has training programs.














I liked this one. You can probably guess its name.

And then yesterday's bike ride back to a standard - Discovery Park but with a brief stop at a newly relocated art gallery.

Where I might have purchased this. Oil on Glass/Acrylic on Panel. So it has this three dimensional look with the oil hovering over the underlying image.




The other possibly choice.




Then the standard Disco (as we call Discovery Park - the old Fort Lawton). It really is a superb park. The homes are situated on the hill above the parade ground. To the rear of the photographer are commanding views of Elliot Bay/Puget Sound. I don't think the radar dome was part of the original area. The City gave it to the Feds who returned it to the City when closed. With the exception of some officers' homes that were sold to private parties about ten years ago. What a nice place to own a home - but subject to restrictions not to change their appearance.

Okay, I'm back even if no one else cares anymore....

Today's walk at Discovery Park



And enlarging it on the home computer I discovered this:




My ritual shot. Unfortunately, the Scotch Broom is in bloom. Pretty but major allergen.




At Traver's Gallery.

That gallery looks like it has beautiful art. I like that Coast Guard boat.

These two were incredibly fluid.












And ceramic art. The links move separately but the artist fired them as chains. Really different. Hand dyed porcelain. The color gradations were fantastic.

Wow. Really fast reply. I was still busy posting the second set. The gallery just moved from somewhat inhospitable downtown Seattle to this newly reconfigured old fish freezing/processing plant. It has some really nice (and pricy) art. Only a month for each show. The glass pieces were fantastic. But I really liked some of the ceramic chains and their shifting color palette.

I was really surprised when I blew up the image and saw it was a Vietnam Coast Guard ship.

Wow, I just saw your latest post. I like the ceramic pieces too. The gallery seems nice how it has a different show each month. It will be interesting to see what the next show features. That was excellent resolution on the photo of the boat.

My April 26th Post was their previous show. I did purchase that painting. Was picking it up yesterday and this new exhibit had just opened. Finding the artists and hanging the show is something. I did ask and the glass pieces were attached with earthquake wax!!

That is a lovely painting. I like the way it draws the eyes into it. It must look wonderful on a wall at your home.

What is earthquake wax?

What is earthquake wax?

It is this WAX substance in a jar (I've seen it in sheets, too) where you grab about a pea-sized ball of it (roll it into a ball). It is quite sticky. Then attach a few balls, depending on item size, to the bottom of the object. Press against the surface you want it to adhere to and flatten. Adhesion! It anchors quite well.

You can liberate the item by using dental floss or monofilament line to "saw" between the surface and the item. What is nice it does not stain or leave a residue after you peel it completely off - using a credit card or similar to get the residual off. I have stuff stuck to my wooden fireplace mantel and have moved stuff over the years. The WAX can be reused - just roll it back into a ball. The gel loses its clarity if you try to reuse it

Now, I have a different stuff - earthquake gel which I don't like as much. Apparently, it does not last as long and apparently dries out and should be reapplied. I have not got there yet with the two applications where I used it. But is is completely clear whereas the wax is cloudy (but generally unseen on the bottom of items).

Gel holding glass to protect newel top of bannister. I need to reapply it with less gel to make it a bit neater. Ignore my toes in the bottom of the picture!




I have not been able to find the "Quake Wax" online - maybe a different name or company. I first purchased it in the LA area (makes sense) years ago. That jar has enough to anchor a house!

Here's what the WAX looks like




There! All you need to know about earthquake protecting your glass art. I've actually used it to adhere a door bumper to a molding trim on a vertical surface - improvise. The wax is still holding after seven years! It is a very small, light bumper.

And on today's bike ride. A view of The Brothers (the peak) through the sail boat masts. And then some entertainment.



I have never seen so many...



And in case you are wondering what I'm talking about.. They were barking like crazy! Occasionally nipping at each other.
