15 Paintings of Mother Foucault’s Bookshop

Mother Foucault's Bookshop 523 SE Morrison St, Portland

Closing Reception. After a year long residency, I created 15 portraits of Mother Foucault's Bookshop. All work done in plein air and is for sale. I will be playing good vinyl records and there will be a dance performance by my friend @sahrab. It will be a very unique, positive, and uplifting experience. There will be wine and other booze.
