A lot has happened since my last update, so I hope you'll bare with this lengthy post of mine.<br /><br />Fall has arrived and I am finding the colors of the trees and their rainbow leaves fluttering in the wind to be soooo hypnotic. Yes, being an absoulte color junkie autum is easily my most cherished time of the year and I am feelin very inspired.<br />However the chill is makin its way in, so I was quite pleased to find myself doing some live painting/demoing inside the warm an cozy, newly opened Portland Saturday Annex Shop last weekend:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6328235066/" title="Painting Demo in the Annex by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Painting Demo in the Annex" height="340" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6225/6328235066_52684ff833.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6327483987/" title="Painting live in the Annex by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Painting live in the Annex" height="329" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6095/6327483987_a0d89484d6.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6327484375/" title="Painting Demo in the Annex by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Painting Demo in the Annex" height="331" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6218/6327484375_43caf1c3dd.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6328235200/" title="My art in the Annex by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="My art in the Annex" height="336" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6092/6328235200_a37b46a812.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />You may be wondering what is this "Portland Saturday Market Annex shop" I speak of.<br />Well its an amazing drool worthy shop housing handmade art, clothing, pottery, jewlery and a billion other hand made items from members of the Portland Saturday Market here in Oregon.
