Celeste Bergin: 1. I painted an oil sketch from one of our French Quarter meetings (‘Story’) 2. "Together, but alone" when social distancing was more a state of mind than a real thing 3. Za's niece Momo
Marti Brandtner: "The Long Awaited Rest!" Two beautiful family companions enjoying their rest after helping corral calves 11x14 Acrylic
Stephanie Cissna: 1. ”Back Cat" a color study that became a doodle. Where did that cat come from, is that a snake? 2, "Summer Story". Memorial Day, Sauvie Island, a big group of artists gathered for a paint out at Coon Point, on the dike. There were dogs barking in the kennel behind us, cows wandered on the field between zigzagging blackberries. A scattering of wildflowers, sun & clouds, distant hills. At first I painted the cows in the foreground, then they became tiny brown dashes in the distant background, then they disappeared. Hills became smaller, nestled against the clouds. Zigzags painted out, more flowers, more color. Original title: "Cow Field", now the cows are gone to other fields.
Hilarie Couture: Prompt is story. 16x12 pastel .... you tell the story....
Tom Daniels: My wife in the backyard this morning June 11 2. Some roses 3. In the alley behind the house

Cynthia Jeffrey: A ride home over the hills through the Willamette valley. Acrylics, David Hockney influence.
Blaine Johnson: Stories
Tara Kemp: "Secret Swimming Hole", 16 x 20", oil on canvas. I went out to Mt. Pisgah, near Eugene, Oregon looking for a place to paint near the Willamette River. I found this hidden spot where it looked like many swimmers had slipped into the river for a refreshing dip. There was just the right amount of sun coming through the trees to make it bright and warm, yet the dappled shade kept it cool on a hot summer's day.
Thomas Kitts: Winding Road, Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, CA. 30 x 40 inches, oil on canvas
Bhavani Krishnan: I don't have anything for the prompt story right now but here is a recent peony painting.:)
Susan Kuznitsky: 'Once Upon a Time' pastel 18 x 18
Anna Lancaster: This was painted in the traditional (indirect) painting method. Models are high school friends of my sons Dan and Phil. The painting is a 36x46 so it is quite large and took me over 6 months to paint. I haven’t completed a painting with a story in mind since last years painting for coastal watchers project for the Elizabeth Jones AC. though I have several with achromatic studies done that I haven’t taken the bull by the horns and started the larger studio paintings.
Lisa Marshall: Sunset on the Lake
Ken Mazzochi: This 24x30 oil on canvas tells the story of going through rock hard times, seeing ahead that much joy awaits. 🌞
Mary McNeil: the Story goes
Louisa Moutos: no text
Micheal Musto: A watercolor based on photos I took of some old barns in the formerly bucolic town of Southborough, MA. They were eventually sold off and torn down by developers.
Pamela Orazio-Mlady: These are copies of drawings I did for a children’s book a few years back. The story was about a strange weird lady named Pockets. ‘Story’
Sandra Pearce: Sunrise in the Garden
Mike Porter: Watercolor greeting cards I’ve painted in the last few days. 5x7 on Strathmore card stock.
Chris Rectenwald: I painted this of 2 of my grandsons when we were on SE Hawthorne St. 2 years ago. It was a really hot day and we had just left the toy store and were walking to get ice cream. Note to self, never ever attempt to paint a tee shirt logo like that again! "My Summer Boys". Oil on canvas 16"x20".
Debra Renard: no text
Loretta Sampson: “Porch View” Ink and water soluble wax pastels.
Donna Sanson: This is a small mixed media painting which I call, "One Third of Les Braves." It depicts a portion of a large memorial sculpture by French artist Anilare Banon and is installed on Omaha Beach next to its two companion pieces. The sculptor gave sub-titles to each section and the named this section "The Wing of Hope." The memorial honors the brave soldiers who fought and died on D-Day.
Eunice Sause: Basset Hound ‘Story’
Raphael Schnepf: 2 Great grandmas 8" x 10" oil on muslin board.
Karen Shawcross: Dusty Path, soft pastel painting.
Nancy Smith-Klos: 1. Dragon Dancer oil on 16 x 20" canvas "Women of Color Series" 2. Liz in Florence. oil on 16 x 20" canvas
Jim Syfert: “Story”. Sharing two paintings done this week. The first one is a wooden wheelbarrow that was made for my dad when he was very young, he cleaned it up and gave it to my son and the irony is that I hesitated to let my son play with it as it was intended because it was old and somewhat fragile. I regret that to this day, perhaps one day I can get it to him if he even remembers it as a gift from his grandfather.
The second painting is of the lighthouse at the entrance to the Newport, RI harbor. This is from a photo that I took from the ship we cruised the New England states and eastern Canada a few years back. Would love to make that trip again and perhaps spent more time on Prince Edward Island, a gem of a location.
Take care as we appear to have hit phase 2 of the infamous virus. Stay safe and healthy.
Harley Talkington: This oil pastel was my farewell gift to my former school’s principal at St Rose, in NE Portland. Poignant for me today as I just yesterday went by the school for perhaps my last time as an educator there.Having retired from teaching there in 2015, I have been active in other ways there since then, substituting, scoring papers every summer, serving on the school’s advisory council, but that has just ended. I am so grateful to have been a part of this school family. It has shaped who I am and allowed me to be a part of hundreds of students’ lives. God bless all students!
Joanne Thorpe: Just playing around with that pallet knife again. No story here except that I do miss my trips to Arizona
Kathy Towne: Prompt is story. "She is Known". 18x24" oil on canvas. Just finished this piece.
Loretta Unger: Inside and Outside (‘Story’)
Bonny Wagoner: Remember the old black and white Perry Mason TV reruns on TV where Perry would catch the bad guy/gal trying to leave town at the train station? The original Union Station lobby in Los Angeles still looks very much the same as what it did back when they were filming the series so it's kind of like stepping back in time for a moment - only in real life. This is is a watercolor in my sketchbook of the cool brass panels that were designed to cover what would have been unsightly utility areas inside the original part of the station. It's like they are a piece of art themselves. If I had even an inkling of how to work in metal I would make room dividers or some such just like this.
Elo Wobig: The story here is that I made it up. I love the sparkly water but rearranged some of the land masses.
Adding the figure, I imagined myself out there among the sparkles. 12x16 oi
Tim Young: 1. 16x20 oil on canvas panel klickitat, klickitat, klickitat 2. 12x16 oil on canvas panel The Hood
Vicki Zimmerman: My quarantine story. I've become a "grey head"
Yong Hong Zhong: 1. Another one from my neighborhood. 2. Rainy Day in NYC 3. Koi
Regina Atwood: story Italian drama in conversation. I love the enthusiasm of the Italians when making their point. (Or trying to)
This is a painting from a trip to Italy. Ciao!
Diane Bestor: I wanted to become a children’s book illustrator. I wrote and illustrated my own book. It was called “One Story.” Here are a few illustrations from that unpublished work.

Next Zoom meeting is Thursday Thursday July 2 10am
(In about two weeks)
The TOPIC is Your brushwork: (How would you rate your current brushwork)?
This is a meeting that you have to plan and prepare for.
In this meeting we are not going to be holding something up to the camera. We’re asking you to email the image in advance.
Send one good brushwork example* to allaprimaportland@gmail.com with “ZOOM JULY 2” in the subject line.
*We don’t mean a close up, send the entire painting image, we’ll share the painting onscreen with the zoom share screen feature and discuss each participant’s painting. Be prepared to talk about features of your current brushwork.
Structured Zoom meetings* are now once a month (the first Thursday of every month at 10am).
The new format requires that you email one image of a painting of yours that best fits the Topic.
*We will still do “occasional social zooms” every now and then just for fun, but they’re going to be on random dates, so please
Always check facebook and the notes in each weeks blog for dates and times. If you get weekly emails from me you’ll get an invitation to each Zoom meeting.
If you don’t think you are on the list and want to be, email allaprimaportland@gmail.com
