I have been working so hard on my upcoming solo show at Powells Books and the opening day is tomorrow! Yay! I have over 45 paintings in the Basil Hallward Gallery. Powells Book is the biggest used book store and it is a Portland staple. My mother would take me here and we spend hours exploring, finding books and hanging out in the coffee shop. The show runs the whole month of March. I will also be there tomorrow at 6:30!...
