Portland Open Studios Hit it Out of the Park...

Portland Open Studios at Directors Park

Portland Open Studios hit it out of the park yesterday...Directors Park that is, in downtown Portland.  I had a grand time doing a couple of quick portrait paintings yesterday among all the talent and skyscrapers. I couldn't even look away long enough for a good pose (above)...so much art, so much  color, so much fun!

And I love being hemmed in by buildings...it's as cozy as a forest, but with more faces.

I was just one of many who peppered the park with a little extra spice.  I got to hold court with the following fabulous Portland Open Studios artists:
Christopher Bibby,, Jason Kappus, Suzy Kitman, Carolyne Landon, Patrick Noe, Theresa Andreas-O’Leary, Barbara Paanakker,  Yer Vue, and many more.

It was like the perfect appetizer before the main entree to come...

There was a fabulous model to draw inspiration from...






I hope you had a chance to visit Directors Park, but if you didn't...please be part of the Portland Open Studios Tour this fall.  Autumn begs a change in palette!
