Quick trip to Portland

With Retired Guy as my driver, we headed down I-5 early Tuesday morning. First stop, drop Annie off at the Vet for plays days and overnight boarding. On to Olympia to deliver 3 pieces for The State of the Arts Gallery Small Works Show.


Back on the road to Attic Gallery in Portland, Oregon to drop off two new pastels.


Then, on to Art-Substrates to pick up two 36 x 36 x 2 inch birch panels from Matt McCalmont in Portland. Beautiful surfaces, I'm excited to use them for large oil paintings.

Back in the car and to Portland's White House Bed & Breakfast. What a beautiful old home built in 1914. We stayed in the Rose Room. Myra took good care of us and showed us all around. It was like staying at Downton Abbey...well, a much smaller version but very nice!

A light dinner at Newport Seafood Grill then to bed on the feather mattress. Breakfast by candle light the next morning in the formal dining room and back on the road heading north to Washington and home. We stopped at the Nisqually Wild Life Refuge for a photo shoot - cut short because it was so cold. A relaxing, fun time with Retired Guy, best driver ever!
