Wallowa

Finished.

For the Lake Oswego Chronicle invitational show this summer I'm doing a painting of Kate Power and Steve Einhorn singing in the sunshine at Wallowa Lake. This was a magical day last September during Cycle Oregon, and the painting's title is borrowed from a song of theirs. I'm listening to their cd "Brick and Mortar" while I'm painting (thanks for the cd, Dad).

The exhibit is June 26-28 in Lake Oswego.

The Rehearsal

This painting was done live at (and to benefit) the Multnomah Arts Center auction. The initial charcoal sketch is about 8x10 inches. In-progress photos were taken during the hour and a half painting session. I would like to thank my support staff: Becky for taking photos, Bill for bringing me drinks, and everyone who stopped by to ask if it was paint-by-number.
