Happy Monday! I am so incredibly excited that I finished this painting and it took me a really long time because of the complexity of the composition. It was tough getting the balance just right with the organic quality of the city and the business of the industrialism. I am totally obsessed with doing lettering on signs, buildings, or pretty much anywhere. I'm not sure what it is about getting the lettering perfect but it is my favorite. Have you ever had
Stumptown coffee? They do their own custom roast, and its pretty delicious. This corner is a pretty busy area of SE Portland and has grown quite a bit over the years. The light poles always have a ton of fliers and grow so fat until the city clears out the layers upon layers of fliers. You could stroll this street and poke into fun shops, drink a tasty treat and just people watch all day.. which is very Portland.
What are you up to this Monday?

That painting looks amazing! I had to take a second look, I honestly thought it was a print or a photo.
Wow! So many details in the painting! Good job Erica! This post caught my eye because I live right off of Stumptown Rd here in NC!
Love that painting!!! This monday I was up to nothing much...working and soaking up the sun and managing toddler meltdowns! ;)
Gorgeous painting!!! That perfectly captures so many of my favorite things about this city. Well done :)

That's GORGEOUS, you did an excellent job balancing the texture, composition, and juxtaposition of urban/natural elements. Right now I'm doing a blog-catch-up before listing lots on Etsy. Then more writing and antique mall switch-outs... work forever!
Love the painting, it´s so full of life! :-)
