Instead of showing work at the Corvallis Art guild’s 48th Annual Clothesline Sale*, I opted to paint plein air at the Mt Tabor Centennial Celebration in Portland.

I had a lovely time showing my work to the neighborhood, painting with other artists, and partaking of the parades, concerts, and people/dog/kid watching.

I sold my first plein air piece of the weekend (I forgot to take a photo of it) from the plein air exhibit, and 2 studio pieces from my booth.

Here are my second and third plein air works.

* Not sure who gave the Gazette-Times the names of exhibitors. I’m thrilled for the publicity; but I was not scheduled to be there!

The peaceful expanse of Mt Tabor’s summit allows one to sit and contemplate, read, play music, or paint without too much bother.

This weekend, however, it will be swarming with people painting, performing, and eating cool deserts.

I’ll be painting there, but it won’t have that quiet that I prefer to paint.

In preparation for painting en plain air at the Mt Tabor Centennial Celebration in Portland, Oregon, I am painting scenes of Portland.

This image is of a view from the top of the mountain. I will find out what major street we can see here; not sure which direction I’m pointing.
