Artist's Rep

This is the last play of their season, and will be the last one in this theater, for another two years.  They're going 'on the road' while the building is remodeled, which will make it harder for me to get to their performances.  (Will they still host readings during Fertile Ground?)

Blues

At the NW hostel

Portland Art Museum

Today's challenge was to browse the new exhibit of b&w prints in the basement, then do a sketch elsewhere in the museum in the style of one of those prints.

I picked out this one:




And then did this:

Sellwood Bridge

Hawthorne Bridge from the Esplanade

Actually, four bridges: the Hawthorne, the Marquam, the Tilikum and the Ross Island, all in a row.  Done from the dock below the fire station.

Then I walked back up to the bank and found a good view of Big Pink, framed between two trees.

Kay had given me a brush/stylus.  That worked pretty well for doing the tree bark.

Pioneer Courthouse Square

Umbrella Man (AKA 'Allow Me')

Pub Trivia

This guy often shows up, but never plays trivia.  He gets a drink and sits alone, watching the TV, smiling. 

Scott thinks that he must be 'somebody'.  When he was in Boise to cover the women's games, this guy showed up to watch the men's.  And the men all made sure to shake his hand.
