Now that we are alone...

Remember when the GAP between the rich/poor was all about jeans? Then small business kings/queens replaced the Hollywood ones. Then we elected to become pan democratic in party but the s-whining began in earnest. Let's tune out the morning edition between the stained man/key to the keep, and think more about how spring/fall has been replaced by tornados. How long before the twitter of federal employees becomes a roaring lobby intending to blow the man down? And... Why is the game of monopoly more important than the Constitution?

STUDY DRAWING

And the Hits Keep Coming!

Hi, People! Tho' CROA is closed, I keep on keepin' on. Latest work to the right is a large plywood sign, a copy of '40's motorcycle club motif. A friend of mine, Dale McGinnis, intends to erect a restaurant on Bolstad Ave. in Long Beach, WA. He's a Harley-Davidson afficionado and imagines crowds of folks dining on fish n' chips with a view of the Pacific Ocean from the second story. I was happy to get the dream working. B. Martin

C.R.O.A. ENDS!

Dear Members and the public in general:
I, as chairperson of the Columbia River Organization of Artists located on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington State, Barbara Martin, am sad to say that CROA has been dissolved! This in not entirely without joy in as much as the Peninsula Art Association has regained its former glory and is now back on its feet and having wonderful art shows at the World Kite Museum.
As you remember, CROA branched off of the PAA because its leadership was in disarray after decades of activity (2004/5). We enjoyed quite a bit of success. A new community center grew where our meetings, shows and benefits were accustomed to take place.
So, I bid you adieu! Please visit this site for a more personal blog that allows me to show you my work and that of my associates.
Thank you so much for visiting CROA. B.M. Martin, Long Beach, WA: ilwacocroa@gmail.com
