Oh, Portland....

Portland, Oregon is a beautiful city. Unless you're trying to navigate through construction on one-way streets.

Finding my way to the downtown Art Media store for the demo yesterday morning was not so bad until I discovered two blocks before my destination was closed down.... Thank goodness I was running super early and had time to circle the area three times before finally getting onto the right street just to find out where to park.

Oh, Portland...

The demo at the Downtown Art Media was quiet. Several people interested in discovering what PanPastels were, but just quiet in general.

Then off like a shot to Beaverton....what should have taken 13 minutes (according to Google Maps) took closer to 40 while trying to find my way to the streets the map directed after re-routing from the parking structure. Inhaled some food and into the Beaverton Art Media where a number of people were waiting for me!

The day was overall very exciting, meeting new people and showing them a new-ish medium.

Coming up, there's a show opening at the Emerald Art Center November 2nd featuring students of Jerry Dame's workshops this past year. I'll have a portrait and a still-life on display. If you're in the Springfield area, check it out.

Also, shortly thereafter, it's time for the Tools of the Trade show at the UofO! One of my favorite events all year.
