Thanks everyone who traveled out to the western frontier of the Portland Open Studios tour, over the last 2 weekends. Although I didn’t get as many visitors as I may have gotten, were I more centrally located, I got the sense that many folks who came by did so because they’d looked up my website and liked what they saw.
I also had the opportunity to meet some followers of my blog, which is always great.
A few paintings found good homes, including one of my favorite recent pieces:
I’d have to say that the most popular work I had displayed was my sketchbooks. It’s always fun (and a little nerve wracking) to share them because they’re so personal. Here’s a panorama of the sketchbook table.
Thanks again to Portland Open Studios and all the art enthusiasts who visited.

Janet, I’m glad you like the work and thank you for taking the time to let me know.
Kathy, as always, I’m reluctant to plan very far ahead, not knowing when another shoe will drop with Les’ health.
Erika, thanks for coming by the studio. It was nice chatting with you. I admire your work. We are interested in some of the same motifs.

that’s a wonderful painting and your sketchbooks are proof that you are prolific. I love your work and wish I’d been able to meet you at your Open Studios, but I’m south of Boston and it’s a long drive 😉
