i i i By B.J. Price I One dormie lived with a box oi them in his room songs abound about them and the newspapers are full of them — peanuts. "Pea nuts, pea-nuts, oh-oh-oh-oh an old song, dating 1 back to the '60 s. Too bad the lyrics didn t go on to clarify the worth of the lowly legume Peanuts are high in protein, phos- I phorous. potassium and niacin A point any school person | knows The peanut has supplemented many a vegetarian s diet, and is basically enjoyed by everyone How many times have you heard a bemoaned tale spoken by a true peanut person, relating the woes of bloat followed by a peanut eating orgy?

Barbara Rodeway exhibits paintings at Gallery West By PETER DURYEA Of the Emerald The paintings of Portland artist Barbara Rode way are currently on display at Gallery West, 1597 Oak street Her works fall into two distinct styles. First there is a series of oollages made from an assortment of subdued colors and finely textured papers pasted onto a beige backdrop In one of this series entitled "Beach Birds' the simple shapes represent a tug boulder and bird while the surrounded beige has a few flakes in it providing a visual similarity to sand. Each of these is put together in a manner rem iniscent of the Chinese characters, in that each is a symbol that tells a story. One such collage actually has a strip of Chinese newspnnt pasted into it. Rodeway s other works are acrylic landscapes with just enough detaiI to be recognized for what they are: a "Pond Reflection" or a "Summer Breeze." 1 Yet her emphasis transcends the necessary particu i lars to capture an exaggeration of color, forsaking form by allowing it to blur as in a hallucination. "Pond Reflection" is a visual explosion. The un adulterated orange and dirt brown are definitely Fall colors These colors are diluted in the reflection on top of the pond, whereas the form is matched on the water in an appropnately diminished size. All this is not extraordinary as they are natural occurrences. What is peculiar to the painting is its mixture between the fine foreground detail of cat-tails and thistles and its colorfully exaggerated back ground. where trees more or less "melt" into color. The depth is fantastic The pond s reflection absorbs the point between the forest and the trees The distinction is rooted clearly enough in landscape so as not to be abstract as this panting is a visual delight. ' Summer Breeze" has the same effect yet is executed in accordance to the wind. Catching the wind isn't easy without a sail, yet she does an alluring job of it. Again the essential clues are supplied as the blades of grass are bent to reveal what is an other wise invisible force. The grass is brought into fine focus in the bottom and middle of the picture, giving a distorted depth of field. Everything in-between is yel low and greens, melowly giving way to their many hues in a patternless blur. The concave curvature of the grass is accented in the painting. This forces the viewer into maintain ing a specific angle of vision to see.' But it is hung in the left comer of the gallery and this accents the convex nature of the bent grass contrary to the com position. It is a small point but one that either lets the piece of art be easily appreciated or hinders its success. One last digression about a piece that asks for it by its very nature. It's entitled "Spnng Thaw” and is an interesting set of two identical rectangular frames, each containing half of the whole. The kinectic aspect is implied by the two frames and brings to mind the Zen adage, "You can’t put your hand in the same river twice.” Well "Spring Thaw" is a point of delineation between the frozen and the free-flowing Is it before or after? Or is it dunng the process? Mu. The question can not be asked It (simply) is. Barbara Rodeway s works will continue to hang at Gallery West until May 1.
