Another of Portland's amazing architecture. Portland's kind of funny that way-- it's a vibrant growing city, with lots of new construction everywhere, and yet there's still tons of gems like this rundown sign.

Powell's Bookstore

Powell's Bookstore, oil on canvas, 10" X 8", 2007

Available at Dezart Gallery

I made a stop at Powell's bookstore on my recent trip to Portland. One of (if not the) largest independent bookstore in the USA, they have a great selection of new and used art books. I picked up a copy of the Artist's Handbook of Materials and Technique by Ralph Mayer, and found a book by an artist that I've never heard of before: Antonio López . Beautiful stuff. I passed up a book on (warning! link not safe for work) Jenny Saville's work-- nowhere near enough pictures of her paintings.

I made a recent trip to the Oregon coast to visit my dad and his partner Nancy. I stayed in Portland on the way down so I could walk around and look at downtown Portland architecture. This is the first of what will likely be several pictures to come from that trip.
