Hospital show

Here are some shots of the portrait show I have hanging at the Providence Medical Center on 48th and Glisan.  So far I've managed to resist pushing people out of windows in order to raise attendance.

Auction Piece, Mayor Visit, New Portraits

You can call off the search parties; I'm back.  First off, here is a selection of some of my favorite 3 hour portraits from the last month:

I'm going to be having a show starting July 17 of 20-25 of these portraits at gallery in the Providence Medical Center on 48th and Glisan...if you're going to take a look at it, hopefully it's of your own accord. I also have an update on the piece I'm working on for the September Auction. Here's my progress so far:

Haven't taken as much time on this one as I would have liked.  Probably will devote more attention to it as soon I put up the portrait show.  Finally, along with several other artists, I met with mayor Sam Adams to talk about my work and the experience of living at Milepost 5 so far.  He seemed nice; busy though, so it wasn't a long chat.  Here's a couple photos of that meeting:

Okay, that's all.  I'll try and update more regularly, but working this keyboard is pretty exhausting.

Last minute show...

Here's a photo of my paintings in Sam Adams' (Mayor of Portland, Sketch Comedy Actor) office.  I'm one of  8 artists from Milepost 5 that have pieces up through July.  As far as I know it isn't open to the public, and there's not going to be a reception...so if you're the mayor or work for him, check it out!

New 3 hr Portraits, Show in Mayor's Office

Have a few new 3 Hr portraits to share.  Getting close to back on track for the year now.

Also, I'm going to be part of a show at the mayor's office here in portland.  It's a last minute thing, so I don't know all the details yet, but I'll update here if there's anything else to know.

Early Swimmer

Working on a new piece for a charity auction in September; I have plenty of time to work on it so I'm planning to take my time to do it right.  It's the largest piece I've worked on in about 6 years; It feels good to really lay out some paint with my larger brushes for a change.  I'll update every now and then with my progress on it as time goes on.

I have a number of shows coming up in the next few months, so it's looking to be a pretty busy summer.  Should be fun.

Samples, new photos

Finally got some decent photos of the paintings from my last show.  I've added a few to the slideshow, and here are some pieces that haven't been posted here yet (as far as I know):

I've also added samples to the price guide. More to come soon.

New info and pricing

Hey everyone, the grand opening at MP5 was a big success; big crowds and a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone that showed up.

I probably should have done this before the opening, but I've just simplified my pricing structure and FAQ to be easier to understand while including lower cost options for those on a budget. Take a look in my sidebar to the right. If you want to do a direct negotiation or barter, I'm of course still open to that; just call or email.

I'll be posting more samples and hopefully adding online payment very soon.
