This weekend I am going to try and sneak in some art shows and I think the hubs is going to take me to dinner and movie :). I also got a loaner
Instax 210 camera from my hubs little brother with some film! Woohoo! So excited and I can not wait to start snapping some photos and I also just love writing a little note on the photo.
Here is my painting for the day and it's of St John's bridge. For Portland being such a small city- we have a ton of bridges (I think we have like 7-8 for the one river) and this one is my favorite because of the bright green. When I was a kid my dad would take me fishing right under this bridge- there is a boat launch. I still remember my secret bait recipe- for catching fish.. it was velveta with a worm. :) Shhh don't tell anyone! Whatever happened to Velveta? Is it still around? What are you up to this weekend?
PS Painting is an oil painting- 8X8 for
the Goodfoot group show- 88 strong.

Velveeta...one thing from my childhood that can stay there..and bologna. ;)
My dad is from oregon and LOVES boats. He would totally dig this painting. Will it be for sale on Etsy?
So. So. Good! Velveeta with a worm, hahaha that's a great secret! Have a great weekend!
i'm so impressed with your painting a day because you don't create simple little sketches. there's lots of layers and textures. they're all wonderful, but my favorite so far is the polaroid camera! have fun with your instax and enjoy your weekend!

Firstly, thank you for visiting my blog! Secondly, I love your painting, the style and that it is a bridge and boats and a superb composition.
Think I shall follow.

The painting looks... Unsettling?
Don't get me wrong, it looks really good but it has that stormy- weather's- a- comin' feel to it.
This one is amazing! We have a green bridge in Long Beach. I love bridges
