There must be an infinite number of possible thoughts on any one piece of art, but we will only cover seven, a weeks worth. For 52 weeks, through 2009, you will see a work of art from the Portland Art Museum* and a riff each day inspired by it – prose, poetry, photos, video, thoughts or ponderings.

Gregory Grenon ~ Sighting at the Ecotrust Building
This painting, "I'm Very Well Protected (1991)" by Gregory Grenon (week 16), can be seen at the Ecotrust Building. A local artist here in Portland, you can see his oil paintings on glass around town. Two of them (images here) are in the entryway of the Westin Hotel on SW Alder. Three clues that you're looking at a Grenon. His images are almost always of women. The colors are intense. The surface is glass, not canvas or board.
Love Grenon. Was hoping to steal a small work at auction last night but had no luck. He's just too unique not to notice
