Lately I have been trying to get back to more cheery colors and a more definitive attack. My recent paintings have been deeper than what I was up to previously but to me they feel a little somber which makes sense to me. I am ready to return to my more cheerful roots. This period of painting, I believe, has taken some more sophisticated turns and for that I have been grateful. I think I made some progress on this one in my intention to get cheerier and more definitive.Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16255155407554377313noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077864883142041650.post-46875564237395438102014-11-21T13:49:00.001-08:002017-04-26T09:37:08.151-07:00HOMAGE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

'Homage', Oil on Panel, 48"x60", $4500<br />
<br />
It has been a long time since I have posted anything on this blog. Not for lack of awareness of the blog. This blog and the <a href="http://katherinetreffinger.blogspot.com/search/label/Meaning%20of%20%20Art" target="_blank">Art and Meaning Project</a> takes comittment, some thing I have not had the where with all to do. I needed a break to process the immense changes losing my partner meant.<br />
<br />
I watched a docudrama called The Impressionists in which Monet said he did not pick up a brush for 3 years after his wife died. His muse was gone and his art lost its' impetus. Hearing this was so validating to me. Aside from the monotypes I did at <a href="http://www.dailyartwest.com/" target="_blank">Don Grays</a>' studio while Kirby was sick, I did not do any art for over 2 years. This painting 'Homage' was the first painting that emerged. Don, bless his heart built this panel for me. Since this painting I have continued to work on panel, with great help in building them from my friend <a href="http://www.jaimegustavson.com/index.html" target="_blank">Jaime Gustavson</a>. Jaime has also been coming over to my studio to paint which has helped give me incentive to get in there myself.<br />
<br />
I have learned a lot about the nature of loss and the fact that the mending process takes much longer than anyone can imagine. Living with another being becomes a weaving of two into a tapestry of its' own. When one of those people goes the cloth is rent and a new weaving must evolve as nothing is as it was. That takes time. It makes for a rich new tapestry in the end.<br />
<br />
I am doing much better now and feel very much on the mend. I am close to
finishing a body of work which is very exciting to me. Now I just need
to find the way to reengage with the gallery world and show them. I have
been very active refreshing my internet presence, letting go of some
representation and starting new ones. I am trying out <a href="http://www.saatchiart.com/katherinetreffinger" target="_blank">Saatchi</a>, we'll see how this goes.<br />
<br />
The new pieces with the exception of Homage are 24"x24" oil on masonite and are $900 each: <br />

It looks tiny in this photo but this building is 40x50 feet, with a shed on the back so it is a little over 2000 sq. ft. It was built in 1926. The cement blocks were made in forms on the spot. I believe at first it was a garage then it became the Gardner's Store and then the Cove General Store which it remained until 25 years ago. I can't tell you how many people have told me about going there for ice cream cones! It is zoned both Residential and Commercial. It was bare bones cement when Kirby and I bought it in 2006. We spent 6 months living in it while we transformed it into a thing of beauty.<br />

are just as high as they look, this end I believe is 12 foot high.<br />

Now back to the living room. Here is the bedroom off the living room, on the other side of
the wall I was talking about. That's a king size bed for reference. There are wood and glass french doors that
can be curtained and closed with beautiful door knobs. We had to be
creative so the window could provide light and fresh air for both the
bedroom and the hall way to the studio so we left that part of the wall
open. So there is a large shelf and under it is a storage area
specifically designed for painting storage (but it could be used for
any storage).<br />

The blank panel on the wall easel is 5'x4' that gives you some idea how large this room is.<br />
<br />
The front of the building is a beautiful Perennial and rose garden. It
sits next to the Cove Library. There are also raised beds built by the
ancient wood we took out of the building as we created the high ceiling.<br />

In the back yard I have built raised beds and created a flower bed out of an old metal
bed and stones. This is an over sized lot. Mt Fanny is in the background. She is what first
convinced us we wanted to live in this picturesque little town at the
edge of the Eagle Cap Wilderness.<br />

The town of Cove and Mt. Fanny. Cove is definitely one of the most desirable places to live in the Grande Ronde Valley. <br />

The house is ready to live in now. However there are creative finishing touches waiting for the new owner. The floors that we built are subfloor and the kitchen, office and bathroom floors are cement. I have rubber professional restaurant mats in the kitchen. The back yard could use a privacy fence. I have done my work on this place and it was HUGE!!! So I leave the next step to the next owner.<br />
<br />
This is the old west. The first Christmas I was here I saw a herd of Antelope for the first time in my life, I didn't know what it was I was looking at! The skies are huge. You can look out at the Grande Ronde Valley and see different weather systems. It's the land of hunting, skiing, both cross country and downhill, hiking, rafting and biking both motorcycle and bike.<br />

This area is chock full of history. The Oregon Trail went through here and many of the families of those who decided not to challenge the Blue Mountains still live here. You can still see some of the track marks.<br />

'Perched', Monotype on Stonehedge paper, 24x17 $350<br />
<br />
This monotype is probably my favorite of the series I did at Don's studio. It, however, has put me through the changes. First I dropped it and creased it. Then I tried to save it by moistening it, putting it under my glass palette with books on top. I didn't realize it was still damp when I took it out and it rippled. So I moistened it again and put it between wood with books on top and it was water stained around the edges! Holy cow! Well at least the part that is printed is unharmed. It will have to be matted rather than floated. It is still my fave. Funny!<br />

Kirby Ferris June 18, 1949- June 13, 2012. My muse and partner.<br />
<br />
I have been absent from this blog for quite a long time and I know some of this blog's followers have wondered what happened as I had been very regular. I especially want to apologize to those of you that had been following my 'Art and Meaning' project. With few exceptions, for the last 2 years I have not been doing art. Had my friend Don Gray not encouraged me to come over to his studio and create some monotypes I would have not created any art at all. Two years ago this month my partner, Kirby was diagnosed with lung cancer, given 4-6 weeks to live and that became the focus of my life. He decided to not deal with it through traditional means and treated it metaphysically. He lived for 16 months and passed away a few days before his birthday. For the last 7 months I have been integrating what has happened.<br />
<br />
Now the blank canvas seems impossibly blank as I come to it a changed person. In many ways my life is a blank canvas as it has gone through a major transformation and what it all is going to look like is unknown to me. I cannot be old with it, the old is coming along and will inform the present but cannot be repeated. I am very curious what the painting of my life will look like but I have to let it unfold in a gentle way.<br />
<br />
I am reentering my studio and sidling up to my art. I rephotographed the monotypes and am in the process of repairing a couple of pieces that need attention. The next step will be to gesso a beautiful large surface Don built for me. Then hopefully I will be able to begin...anew.

I have had many good<br />reasons for not being creative, building a bedroom one<br />of the biggest. My friend and fellow artist, <a href="http://dongraypaintings.blogspot.com/">Don Gray</a> asked<br />me over to his beautiful studio to do monotypes. I believe<br />he was doing an art 'intervention'. Get this artist creating!<br /><br />I have not worked with monotypes very much so I am<br />fumbling my way along. With each monotype I learn more<br />and get more comfortable with the medium. The approach<br />is completely different from working with any medium I am<br />familiar with. Also the creative process is one step removed.<br />Not only is the art created on a piece of glass and pressed<br />onto paper, the resulting image is a mirror image of what is<br />placed on the glass. And then I never know what the ink is<br />going to do. I like the process as it forces me into the space<br />of letting go of control, my favorite creative stance.<br /><br />I am also fumbling along because there is a birth of abstracted<br />storytelling that I want to express in my my art and I have<br />no idea how to go about it. This series is helping me find that<br />expression.Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16255155407554377313noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077864883142041650.post-62163220422457126492011-12-26T15:50:00.000-08:002011-12-26T16:35:30.159-08:00The Present:Finding Myself in the Middle of NowHere by Jerry Downs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQx_G5R67rAIhYWi7iWPmMnU9qSu5jeCF9715WmaPAWHihxMjzzakiiiNPNGVdz-yZxQkd5M5eqhbBXAE6BYm4Z74lAl8_S6XT4iAxftqD0cWzw6wFviB5bb6QsGWrSTVT-xjIuneEwC4/s1600/379547_10150451117940073_729160072_8864107_510703407_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQx_G5R67rAIhYWi7iWPmMnU9qSu5jeCF9715WmaPAWHihxMjzzakiiiNPNGVdz-yZxQkd5M5eqhbBXAE6BYm4Z74lAl8_S6XT4iAxftqD0cWzw6wFviB5bb6QsGWrSTVT-xjIuneEwC4/s320/379547_10150451117940073_729160072_8864107_510703407_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690588887366771586" border="0" /></a>A gift from Jerry: <a href="http://www.thepresentis.it/">http://www.thepresentis.it/</a><br /><br />Jerry Downs is an unusual being, he is an artist, but much<br />more than that he is aware of and therefore a witness to the<br />magic and synchronicities that abound in this life we live.<br />And he is my friend.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />'The Present: Finding Myself in the Middle</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> of NowHere'<br /></span>is a photo journal of a journey from Marin County, California<br />to Boulder, Colorado, and back again, a journey Jerry has taken<br />many times in his lifetime. I laughed my way through this book<br />and totally related to what he experienced and how he thinks.<br />This is more than anything, a book about surrendering to the<br />moment and the magic that results. Besides being a magical<br />thinker, Jerry is also an incredible photographer.<br /><br />During the writing of this book the working title was always<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">'The Present'</span>. At one point Jerry was planning to self publish<br />and proceeded as if this would be his course of action and the<br />result would be a physical book. Then he had the epiphany,<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">'The Present</span>' would be just that, a present, a gift from him to us.<br />That's right, this book is free. Download it, read it, pass it on for<br />free. Let it take you on its' magical mystery tour.<br /><br />I told you Jerry is an unusual being.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jerrydownsphoto.com/#home">http://www.jerrydownsphoto.com/#home</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jerry-Downs/272931819260">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jerry-Downs/272931819260</a>Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16255155407554377313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077864883142041650.post-55755693855780263232011-04-04T16:19:00.001-07:002011-04-04T18:27:41.619-07:00Guardino Show<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitl7ZiALEmDEYu53u7CwIMM0b9ij8hPMWFGVmc1i24q6bR4BtMBVVF-CmbWfmfwghuhvpgikpGPbAqUsQG_hzpavNVa7-Y_JeokYQb04nHrcMxiHE4i7yGOah9d61Q6-Qwm54eBzJRZiE/s1600/DSC02946+site.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Hundreds of people came<br />and everyone showing sold a piece. Bouquets were delivered and friends<br />from the internet met for the first time. I saw someone from high school<br />and met a collector for the first time (you know who you are!). Maria<br />Wickwire, sculptress for the show was a delight to meet. Donna and her<br />daughter in law held down the fort with true grace! I had a blast.<br />It would have been perfect if I hadn't been physically challenged and blew<br />up like the Michelin man...doing nothing great for my ego. Ah well!<br /><br />I started the event by meeting up with the extraordinarily interesting<br />Richard Speer, art critic, and someone I feel fortunate to call a friend,<br />for lunch. I also had the pleasure of meeting and lunching with artist<br />Dorothy Goode, Richard's woman friend. We started out a little rocky<br />as she arrived first, and recognizing her from photos I introduced myself<br />by saying "You must be Martha?" ...well...since her name is Dorothy<br />and unbeknownst to me Richards ex is Martha she gave me a very strange<br />look. We worked it out and she thought I should call her 'babe', which I did,<br />in fact, for the duration of our lunch. I had a wonderful time and Richard<br />enjoyed the show.

We had three storms headed<br />our way, very strong winds as you can imagine with<br />such a convergence, warming temperatures with tons<br />of rain causing flooding because at that time there was<br />quite a bit of snow on the mountains and down here in<br />the valley. The wind came, the warm came, along with<br />that the melt came, a little rain sprinkled down on us.<br />The storms never came. I don't know about the flooding,<br />I imagine the creeks are roaring. All in all it has been a<br />bit anti-climactic.<br /><br />To make up for it I have been painting up a storm. I think<br />this piece is done. I am almost finished with another piece.<br /><br />Painting puts me through so many changes. It is so difficult<br />staying with theprocess, enjoying it and believing a piece of<br />art will emerge, and I will know when it is a painting. So<br />much of painting abstractly is about being lost and the<br />painting is lost until it is found and then it is finished or<br />pretty close to being finished.<br /><br />You'll be hearing more from me as I prepare for my show<br />in Portland, Oregon, at Guardino's on Alberta St..

Yep it's me, having gone through another<br />alchemical void, I return, hopefully the better for having<br />gone through it. I have been in a struggle of birthing<br />something new. Not in terms of style, but of consistency.<br />After painting "Innerspace", I felt really happy with what<br />I had created, but I knew creating something that was as<br />satisfactory to me would be very difficult, but I wanted to<br />try. I like the results, but don't know about maintaining it.<br />It is forcing me to push harder and that is a good thing.<br />I feel my limits at times as I go up to the edge of my<br />understanding.<br /><br />Any way enough said.

You must understand I grew up in a<br />temperate environment where right now they are all complaining<br />because it is down in the 30's.<br /><br />The good news is I am spending my time in the studio.

I have the darndest time being consistent in<br />my style! That is what galleries want, a consistent show, in style, that<br />is. Do any of you artists out there have the same issue? I mean artists<br />are supposed to be creative right? Oh, don't listen to me, in some<br />ways I supposed it's good for me as it pushes me to keep going, keep<br />working the painting until it works with the rest in some way.<br /><br />I am in the process of going back and looking at paintings I have hanging<br />around the house and asking if I love the painting and if I don't I am going<br />back in and reworking it.

I foresee it , yet hardly ever carry<br />it out as I foresee it. It transforms itself by the actual paint. I don't in fact know<br />very often what the paint will do and it does many things which are very much<br />better than i could make it do. Perhaps one could say it is not an accident because<br />it becomes a selective process which part of the accident one chooses to preserve."<br />Francis Bacon<br /><br />My friend <a href="http://www.cindybilotti.com/">Cindy Bilotti</a> sent this quote to me this morning and I love it! It states<br />perfectly my relationship to paint!<br /><br />A couple of months ago I submitted to <a href="http://www.guardinogallery.com/">Guardino Gallery's </a>call for artists for 2011.<br />Yesterday I received the news that I will be showing for the month of April with<br />sculptural artist <a href="http://mariawickwire.com/">Maria Wickwire</a>. I am excited. I showed at this gallery many<br />years ago, a showing of my drawings. I really like the the gallery, the location<br />(Alberta St. in Portland), and the gallery owner, Donna Guardino. I have never<br />seen Maria's work in person but went to her site and saw her beautiful work.<br />The other part of this that excites me is the fact that I have a deadline and have<br />to paint. Deadlines are a real motivator for me. Pathetic how difficult it is for me to<br />get to the studio otherwise! I posted Deep Sea Diving as I walked into the gallery<br />with a few paintings and I believe this is the one that sold here<br /><br />On another front I have finally finished the brochure I have been working on for<br />my other profession and it is published on line at<a href="http://www.scribd.com/katherine_treffinger"> www.scribd.com/katherine_treffinger.<br /></a>Check out the lovely blog of M.

What's going on here? I have<br />been struggling with this piece for a while now. I think<br />it is finished. Feel free to tell me what you think. Getting<br />away from the studio and going to Portland and getting<br />my brains image bank refueled helped a lot in allowing<br />me to breakthrough with it. I need to get away more<br />often.<br /><br />This piece was a paint over on an old painting of Cindy's<br />and my collaboration. Part of the reason I had such a<br />difficult time with it was letting go of the parts of the old<br />painting that were 'precious', always a challenge.Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16255155407554377313noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077864883142041650.post-30034130344529428092010-09-13T09:08:00.001-07:002010-09-13T09:32:37.467-07:00Commission in place<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrG22nzoNjek1eF9W9H4tjK8mmXmfHaAta0lElFIPkAXsdBOJRuyjd_7O98THb2EBC3VHWCv7R1rKRFHMrpqzrxdgJIwwim2N_xgaccWMHUWeXZ6NEsUVO7sImokNWHaHv89uuc9GieY/s1600/Ron,+Gail,+and+The+Witness.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 291px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrG22nzoNjek1eF9W9H4tjK8mmXmfHaAta0lElFIPkAXsdBOJRuyjd_7O98THb2EBC3VHWCv7R1rKRFHMrpqzrxdgJIwwim2N_xgaccWMHUWeXZ6NEsUVO7sImokNWHaHv89uuc9GieY/s320/Ron,+Gail,+and+The+Witness.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516430816301016226" border="0" /></a>Ron, The Witness II and Gail<br /><br />I have been taking a break from the time I spend on the computer.<br />This has meant a break from blogging, as that is where the time<br />really gets gobbled up. I have recently returned from a trip to Portland.<br />Coming from a county with a population of 25,000 to the city is an<br />awesome assault of the senses. It was so inspiring to be around all<br />the creative energy in that city. I went out to eat, visited galleries and<br />storefronts, bought art supplies, and delivered 14 pieces to a beautiful<br />furniture store. I house sat so I had my time all my own. It was so<br />peaceful to be solo for a time. I had incredible dreams, waking up<br />wanting to create art.<br /><br />For those of you in the Portland area the art is at Parker Furniture, a<br />few blocks east on 10 from 217. At one time I showed at Roche Bobois<br />(furniture store) and did very well. Since then I have wanted to find<br />another opportunity like that. The opportunity arose with one of the<br />lovely women I worked with at Roche Bobois offering to represent<br />me at Parker. Furniture stores are not gallery representation but they<br />are a great venue as people can see the art in context of a mock living<br />space. Also I will be showing until we decide to end the arrangement,<br />not once every 2 years.<br /><br />The commission has been hung in its new home and Ron and Gail are<br />very happy with it. They sent me the attached photo. They look like ol'<br />friends the three of them!Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16255155407554377313noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077864883142041650.post-48150696392290868942010-08-13T09:01:00.001-07:002010-08-13T09:03:35.318-07:00The Witness II<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVwy42xzbsoqqVTISv17KwLkt5xTnZNsgWDIlcYvSbIXiXyq6AN3Rn6nru0HgkUzXKipPwMfSrRTSGcAvnVLfoq4WDI5wXl4QwDb9F1k3hp0mPO61O7wGyMMwes90bh5Y6G_AR8LWEXg/s1600/Witness+II+site.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVwy42xzbsoqqVTISv17KwLkt5xTnZNsgWDIlcYvSbIXiXyq6AN3Rn6nru0HgkUzXKipPwMfSrRTSGcAvnVLfoq4WDI5wXl4QwDb9F1k3hp0mPO61O7wGyMMwes90bh5Y6G_AR8LWEXg/s320/Witness+II+site.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504925436589014258" border="0" /></a>"The Witness II", Oil on Canvas, 60"x48", SOLD<br /><br />Yesterday was the big day with my commission. I received a very enthusiastic<br />final approval on the piece and now it is just a matter of the painting drying and<br />it will be on the way to Seattle. It is a strange thing doing a commission, wondering<br />if the client will love the painting. Really you don't want anything less. And this<br />was a large painting!<br /><br />I am still trying to come up with a name on the abstract. It is usually much easier,<br />but for some reason this one is not as simple. I think it is because the associations<br />I am having are much deeper than is usual.Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16255155407554377313noreply@blogger.com10
