Yong Hong Zhong: 1. Looking for an interesting angle to paint my neighbor's house. 2. Rohdodendrons are blooming around my yard. 3. An alleyway near downtown Lake Oswego.
Regina Atwood: A rainy grey day, painted from my garage looking out past the driveway. A different type of being “out in the field”! I haven’t fussed with this at all in my studio which is unusual for me. But who knows, I may go back in to tweak a bit. :)

Celeste Bergin: 1. “How sweet to be a Cloud. Floating in the Blue” (– A. A. Milne) 2. I painted this from the car with gouache. It was on a road behind the way cool Colwood Golf Course. 3. Joanne gave me some fresh flowers and I painted them today.
Marti Brandtner: 1. Finished and on it's way to it's new home. Now to start another painting! So lucky we like to paint and draw. 2. Nothing better than getting dragged by your dog! Ozzie and Henry
Tedd Chilless: “Flowers for Inspiration” oil, 12”x 16” During these times I want to share color and gratitude for all those people working.
Stephanie Cissna: Not painting, but sketching something "cool": black leather jacket, in pencil and ink markers. My black leather jacket is from San Francisco 1980's with big shoulders, super cool at the time. Marlon Brando, motorcycles, Madonna, and me! (?)
Paul Clendenin: “Moonglow” is, of course, imaginary. In the Multnomah falls image, I have attempted to merge a number of photo images to arrive at this unique perspective of the falls, the lodge, and the historic scenic hwy. While these do exist in similar relationship, this scene would probably never be seen in real life.
Hilarie Couture: I just loved composing and painting this one and loved her socks.. I just thought she looked like a pretty cool chick!
Tom Daniels: 1. Good to get out a little today. 2. At Vancouver Lake park Sunday 3. The beach Tuesday at Vancouver Lake.

Serena Dinsmore: Drawing of a student who looked 'cool' to me.
Leslie Elder: Almost finished with this commission. Painted from an extremely faded photo from the 70's. A good excuse to do a monochromatic painting. I soooo love the bouffant hairstyle! I just had to crank the Aretha Franklin up while painting this!
Steve Ewoldt: A little Nebraska back on the canvas. (14x20 oil)
Sharman Frances: no text
Lisa Gilbert: Cool sunset at Mount Hood

Paula Hansen: A recent plein air pastel at a farm close to my home, and a study from Za’s class this week on portraits.
Dotty Hawthorne: This is a pastel painting "Elena's Daydreams" of my teenage granddaughter. It started with a photo I took of her in a bay window, and took me several years to decide how to put it together.
Blaine Johnson: 1-4 no text. 5. I’m still giggling. This is a strange painting. It was commissioned as a gift. The recipient’s name is Elisabeth. She is from Switzerland (and those are edelweiss flowers), but she also LOVES New Zealand - thus the kiwi. I’m assured she will love it... but I gotta say... I ain’t never thought I’d paint somethin’ like this.

Today's painting is a watercolor I did of a (cool) car I found in a wide spot in the road on the way to Yellowstone 5. This was done around Memorial Day. I hope no one is offended by flower pots on our flag. It was set up with respect, appreciation and honor in our hearts.
Lisa Marshall: This is Sabino Canyon just outside Tucson. A beautiful place to hike. Really gorgeous when the snow melt happens off of Mt. Lemon.
Mike Porter: 1. From my sketchbook of a few years ago when we were traveling through the south of France and stayed overnight at Carcassonne. I was sketching this and a French lady came up to watch. In my halting French and her halting English, I discovered that she was an art teacher! I received a favorable critique. While this was going on, a bevy of Chinese tourists were snapping photos of me at work. 2. This is the view out of our B&B when we stayed in north Wales, in Conwy. That's the castle walls on the opposite hill from where we stayed. Lovely town. Wales is a really nice place to tour around and explore. Very scenic.
Donna Sanson: I did this watercolor painting when my daughter was ten years old. She was very active in gymnastics at the time and I took a photo of her laying across a set of bars at a local playground. I substituted ribbon for the metal bars and suspended her from a tied bow held together with a large pin. The title of this painting is "Loosening Apron Strings And Other Ties That Bind." It was a reminder to me that she needed to be her own person, and an assurance to her that I would always be there when she needed me. I am the pin. I've always thought this was a "cool" painting.

My husband, Michael Gotz (guitar) and Keith Lowe (bass) playing their duo gig in Bellevue WA. 4. "Dinger's Dance" 20" x 20" acrylic. All the life in our garden is a treasure. We named this little hummingbird "Dinger". I think it's first name was Hum.
Donna Sires: This is a painting I did from a photo I took along a creek in Yellowstone. "Meadow in the Mist"
