Shoot - have to work this weekend.......
I hear the Wyeth exhibit is pretty special at the Portland museum. Features NC, Andrew and Jamie.
I went to the opening of the Wyeth exhibit at the SAM (Seattle Art Museum) and it is astonishing! If you're in the NW for a short time, it's well worth seeing. The Christies American art expert kept walking around saying, "Wow.....wow......wow". Many paintings from private collections, just in from Chadd's Ford, PA - ends 1-15-18 and not going anywhere else.
I'll be set up there at my usual table right inside the door - stop by, say hi, and check out some Pretty Pennies!
