Busy Weekend

It was a very busy weekend of art activities for me. On Friday the 6th the Rental Sales Gallery of the Portland Art Museum, celebrated 50 years of growth with a Gala event in the grand Ball Room. here is a view of the party when I arrived.

The crowd is mainly member artists,gallery volunteers,patrons and museum staff. A beautiful coffee table book was published which tells the history of the gallery and has reproductions by over 100 of the gallery artists. This is the painting that I have in the book.
"Edge Incidents" 36x36 Acrylic on Canvas

Then on Saturday morning I had breakfast with family members at the Jory, the restaurant in the Allison Inn. They furnished the property with all original art by Oregon artists and I was fortunate to have 8 of my paintings purchased for their collection. After a leisurely meal we toured the spa; the men's lounge has two of my paintings and here are pics of me next to them.

Sunday I enjoyed an Oyster and Wine tasting event. Different oysters and preparations with different wines. Raw, barbecued, and oyster stew made for a full afternoon if you liked oysters. I'll spare my readers from pictures of that happening.
As always thanks for looking, and feel free to leave a comment or share this post with a friend.
