Thai Anyone

Thai Anyone? 16x20 oil on canvas ($350)

I was in Portland, Oregon for 3 weeks.  I walked by this Thai restaurant everyday on my way to the office.  What a great color.   Luckily, when I went back on the weekend the sun was shining and made these wonderful shadows on the building.  Sun shine was not a common occurrence when I was there.

Spreed Bump by artist Dave Coverly

I swear this could be me!

I love Dave Coverly's comic Strip Speed Bump, especially when his topic is art.  I wish I had half his imagination.

I have to be careful when I’m in museums and have a camera.  I sometimes have to remind myself to enjoy the artwork because I'm busy watching the museum patrons.  It is rare that I can’t find someone who seems to compliment to the painting they are studying.

Sometimes this is how I feel when a painting isn’t going the way I want it to…
