Sunday Morning, 36 degrees

Here's the sketch I did at the Starbucks at 2nd and Taylor, and the painting I did from the sketch. The painting is on display at Broderick Gallery, 814 SW First Avenue, during the month of February.

"Our House" Benefit

This was a great party! Phil Hunt and Marianne Ghim hosted twelve artists and thirty guests at a dinner party to raise money for Our House of Portland. All of the paintings made during the evening were sold in silent auction, framed, and sent home with the buyers.



This is my painting. I was at a party and there were two naked people standing on the surface of the pool. Everyone could see them but nobody could join them. They did not move.



This is the scene of the party, taken late after the sunlight was gone.

Nychole won the silent auction and bought my painting. She is also in it. Look for her yellow jacket.
