I got to see the newly renovated Portland Art Museum with my partner Suzie and good friend Alyson Bowen yesterday. The improvements are amazing. We all enjoyed the large exhibition of Rick Bartow’s work. Fantastic / heavy stuff. This is called “Song Bear” (2011). #art

That place is pretty amazing.
