Hey Lori, I see you are one of my allies in the war against clear-cut logging. One of my last major art exhibitions was a group show I organized with 25 Alberta artists, the theme of which was clear-cut logging. Very successful show, with 3500 people attending over the 3 weeks. CBC radio interviewed me, followed by a CBC TV mini-documentary.
I'll post 2 of my paintings if I can ever figure out how to do that. Best, Laurie

@artist01. My husband lived in Oregon when he was younger. Married in the 70s we’d gone there for a honeymoon to see where he’d grown up along the coast. Then life happened and we didn’t return for about 15 years. We weren’t prepared for the devastation we witnessed with the clear cut logging. All those amazing sights of the ‘green carpet of trees’ on the rolling hills down to the ocean were gone! I’d love to see your paintings from your exhibition. To have over 3500 people attend in 3 weeks you, along with other artists obviously touched a raw nerve to generate that level of attendance.
Our home is surrounded by state forest on 2 sides. There has been logging starting all around us again. My heart is so heavy with knowing what’s coming. We have huge stands of 80-100 year old red pines which will be leveled. Ok I need to refocus my thoughts for the day! Diversion tactic. Hehe. See you on the walking trail today! Air hug!

@artist01, Fabulous that your Alberta show was such a success! Would love to have viewed that CBS mini-documentary.
Posting photos is beyond me but I Do hope you can post pics of your paintings. Congratulations on organizing the clear-cut logging exhibition. Laurie, we know that awareness is the first step and you are to be saluted for your success! Thank you.
