Stumptown Lodgings

great piece of art! v

Hey Folks? I am getting very excited! This upcoming June 12th is the special tentative date for my completing the next art piece including this same Stumptown Lodgings with the other design of Dandy Gnome as in a 1 large composition to be so titled "In The Wild". Originally then conceived as a large composition originally I so told my friend Robin W. that it would be titled as "Breakfast In The Wild" as it is to be somewhat if not at all completed about that evening time at the Hillsboro, Oregon The Artfull Garden store location during that evenings Tuesday Farmers Market. I got the title name from an album of pop music titled "Breakfast In America" which I wanted to answer as an unusual sort of a question just exactly where in it that might somehow strangely be? But only in America! I guess too the recent fantasy Wildwood book title also was an inspiration as for this "In The Wild" - but I have not addressed that as the exact same words as so now? YEP! The same artwork is however to be completed as a fantasy type of a piece as it has several unusual mushrooms, small ferns in relation to other woods type as things and all so the like too - also in it it is indeed that the gnomes are most incredibly small! So how many would be able to dance on a head of a pin as well as spin in a "Gnomobile" too now all you so wondering like some Disneys? I know I wonder still. - BP

Splendid Gnome drawing! Wishing you the Luck of the Gnomes! (I also have a love for the little fellows, painting Gnomes on found wood) Congratulations on your sale, may you have many more!

It's wonderful, Bill -- such a magical scene!

This is a recent FAA art sales to record for me! It is a side trip to Stumptown story line too? So this art piece was turned into a set of greeting cards I sold this year at The Artfull Garden Store in Hillsboro, Oregon and also featured on an unique postcard for it too as an art trade promotion item too. It will be featured perhaps soon as about 1/6th of a part in a much larger sized poster board composition underway now including the reclining Dandy Gnome character art piece included in it in the near future as well. It is being readied even now as it will be part of an art series of drawings to promote the fabulous one unique legendary Stumptown Portland, Oregon forest scenes also! They will be a series of greeting cards and post cards for downtown local Portland shops when it gets completed too. That will be a fine idea for showing people the weird however but good side of this big west coast city local wild kind of a scene? It will then be as a whimsical musing tribute on the outlandish and somehow purported Portland Wild Lands sometimes described by Writers and such Artists as a cards series by me and perhaps even be featured in an upcoming Gnome story too! That is a good idea then? So wish me luck on all of this with the recent sale of art too? Yes! And thanks! - BP

This art piece was started as an artist's demonstration at Bohemian Treasures in Beaverton, Oregon recently one late afternoon. It was an open house demo and as the customers and visitors entered the establishment of this art boutique they were greeted by the artists and I gave many of them a new post card image of my Ring Cycle drawing (with a website address for more art on its back) to amuse them. I only finished the background tree and started on the Fairy House by the time the shop closed. - BP
