Josh Keyes and John Brophy at Roq La Rue Gallery, November 2012
We made a trip to Seattle Washington in November 15-17 2012 for the 19th Annual Single Malt and Scotch Whisky Extravaganza at the Rainier Club and visits to both the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) and the Roq Le Rue Gallery.
At the SAM we saw ELLES: Women Artists from the Centre Pompidou (which we also saw when we were in Paris, France). Cool to see it again though, makes the art world smaller with each go-see.
And then we went to the Roq La Rue Gallery which I’d been itching to see for a long time. The current exhibition featured Josh Keys and John Brophy. I met Kirsten Anderson, Gallery Director, and bought a couple of art books (Mark Ryden and Marion Peck).

Learn more about the PechaKucha Tradition at pecha-kucha.org
PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
Pine Cone Squirrel with miniature bottle of Dalmore Scotch Whisky by Carollyne Yardley
I will be selling a miniature painting called Snowman Squirrel and greeting cards at The apARTment Gallery this winter (dates to be posted).
They are also putting up a Christmas tree and asked participating artists to create a unique ornament to hang on the tree. I thought long and hard, and decided a Pine Cone Squirrel Ornament with Dalmore Scotch Whisky would be perfect.
After creating my creature with a pine cone, puff balls, pipe cleaner and a glue gun, I decided he needed to be carrying something a bit better than just a nut.
So who else has package of miniature whiskies hanging around?
I decided to place the Dalmore Scotch Whisky instead of the Bladnoch or the Glengoyne
