Burnside Bridge, from the Steel Bridge pedestrian walkway

This one is owned by my friend Scott Moore. He was an organizer of the Buckman School Art Show and Sell and we made a trade. I got one of his skateboards. Check out his site, it's the Subsonic Skateboard link!

Also, check back to the May 5 post for the full installation view of the Alpine Lake Triptych!

An interesting subject I thought. From the Waterfront series for the Buckman School. At the end of the day shooting photographs from which to select imagery for my series of two hour oil sketches, I'd focused enough on the archetecture of bridges and the light in the sky and reflecting on the water of the Willamette, and pointed my camera at this object as an unlikely subject for a painting.

At Play on the Willamette

Still on art made for the Buckman School art sale, and still on paintings that are in Dubai, this one was a Christmas Present for my nephew Alex year before last. I plan to use this photo as a study for a large scale painting soon. I do love painting water!
