Come Watch Me Paint Today at the Portland Plein Air Paint Out

Today and tomorrow, the Portland South Park Blocks turn into a lively outdoor studio. Come join me and other local artists as we paint many of our favorite landscapes and landmarks with oils, watercolors, and pastels. Artists will begin at first light and paint throughout the day on Saturday. Visitors are encouraged to watch and talk with the painters as they translate the landscape in front of their eyes to canvas.


On Sunday, we return to exhibit and sell selected works in the Museum's courtyard. Enjoy live music by jazz/swing trio Boy & Bean, handmade ice cream from Salt & Straw, and tasty sandwiches from Lovejoy Bakers. Sweets, wine, and beer will be available for purchase in Museum Grounds cafe.

Hope to see you there!
