Studio Hartig

In preparation for the flight back to Michigan Renee has been trying to dry and ship out as many paintings as possible. This is what her studio looked like this morning.



Brian finally went out and bought pets, just like the ones Renee has been asking for (sort of).

Portland Saturday Market

This past weekend Brian set up a booth and sold illustrations at the weekly Saturday Market. It is times like these that a car would come in handy, however our entire set up broke down and fit into a single suitcase (the tent and table were rented from the venue). The booth was a hit and I'm sure we'll be doing it again. Check out Brian's website if you want to see examples of what he sold.

Fireworks

Now you can tell how behind we are with uploading pictures! This is a view of the fireworks display in downtown Portland. The Portland fireworks are said to be twice as big as any other display in Oregon. There were amazing views from the bridges (which they close down).

Have you seen this squirrel?

Wanted:
This fierce creature has an addiction to almonds and often confuses human fingers for food.

For those of you who haven't heard about the incident that took place after this was taken just watch Monty Python's Holy Grail and reference the scene with the cute bunny rabbit.
