Pittock Mansion-Portland Oregon Painting

I painted this painting one fine day.  It always is a fine day when you get to paint.  I went with the Portland Plein-air painting group to the Pittock Mansion in 2010.  As a lover of history I was amazed by the grandure of this mansion.  I could imagine people coming to the front door in their carriages to call on Mr. and Mrs. Pittock.
And the surprised looks on their faces when they say someone like me with this wild looking canvas painting the house. (remeber I talk to my paintings).
Between the great weather, great subject matter, and my very creative imagination I had a grand day and this painting proves all that.
