Portland Oregon USA Peeps

I painted this today. I was inspired by one of my friends photos. I love high contrast! I have downloaded this three times in this website. In Member’s Gallery, World Watercolor Cluc and now in this group. Is it necessary to download it so many times?

Hi, Kate, hope you received my email and friend acceptance. Let me know if you didn’t. Nice of you to have a meet up. Cool painting of your studio! I plan to be there. Can I bring anything? Or is it a bag lunch? Best, Janis

I can\’t seem to reply directly to Kate? I find this forum difficult to use. Anyway\’s I would love to get together. Although if you are looking at a weekend, only June 16th is open for me. Weekdays are more do-able.
