The 12 bridges crossing the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon

Here is our new canvas/panel with the 12 bridges crossing the Willamatte River in Portland, including the beautiful new bridge Tilikum Crossing.  If you visit Portland Saturday Market this weekend, we will have two of the new bridge-panels . . . one in color and the one shown here.

 (digital painting by YvonneMestre)

Tilikum Crossing is the "Bridge of the People" and it is carrying Max trains, cyclists, and pedestrians . . .  NO CARS.

St. Johns Bridge Portland, Oregon

We frequently hear visitors to our booth at Portland Saturday Market mistakenly call the St. Johns Bridge "Cathedral Bridge" and the Willamette River "St. Johns River"?    

Further, we heard one visitor tell his guests that the bridge was built over 200 years ago . . . Lewis and Clark would have really appreciated having the bridge waiting for them!

Come to Mesman Images booth 216 near the food court and see our pictures/canvases and digital paintings of Portland's most beautiful bridge or check out our YouTube video about the making of the picture below.

Jaliscos' Mexican Food and Halloween Art at Waterfront Park

This past weekend, Portland Saturday Market had a Jack-o-Lantern carving and painting contest.

Here are the winning Jack-o-Lanterns made by Sara from Jaliscos at the Portland Saturday Market food court, where Sara and her husband sell all natural Mexican food..  One would never expect that a food vendor would have such artistic talent as well.

Well, this weekend, after you have had a taste of Jaliscos' food, step across the aisle to Mesman Images . . . we don't have Sara's talent but we have a different one.

It is Summer! Portland's Waterfront and its multiple fun things to do.

This last weekend of June is perfect to show Portland visitors a nice day at Waterfront Park.  While on Sunday it will be a beautiful day in the upper 60's . . . it will pretty much be a dry day on Saturday, although the forecast includes three of those very SPECTACULAR and EXTREMELY SHORT showers as we have experienced the last 2 days.

  

 Well . . . during the first shower at 10am, you can visit the Portland Saturday Market and stroll under the canopies, the bridge, and the plinth . . . decide what would you like to take home at the end of the day . . . choose . .  and . . . pick it up as you leave in the evening!

The second shower, at 1pm, is a good time to visit our Pee and Poop facilites . . . they're well organized due the fact that everyone has to wait for his or her turn 

then visit our food court featuring good food from very different parts of the world and have a meal under our large canopy with ample seating while your kids have fun in the fountain and the rain nearby.   Bon appétit!

The 4pm shower . . . no reason to explain what happens . . . go to Mesman Images (row 200 space 216) and pick up the canvas or the print you studied in the morning, while you tried to locate the 9 wonderful landmarks included in YvonneMestre's digital painting.  By the way . . . Mesman Images does ship  . . and . . . ships only at cost  . . . no fee.

AND . . . if you saw this blog ask for 15% discount!

The rest of the day have fun at Waterfront Park!

A great weekend in Portland, Oregon

A great thing to do this weekend is to check out Portland's Waterfront, the old town, and of course the popular Portland Saturday Market that's also open on Sundays.  Walk through the Esplanade, relax on the lawn, checking out the massive steel of the double-deck, vertical-lift bridge . . . the Steel Bridge as the name indicates . . . have a bite at Portland SaturdayMarket's food court, then find some original, handmade souvenirs at Portland Saturday Market, or find a new creative piece to decorate your home . . . and since we are in Oregon, there is zero sales tax.

Weekend at Portland Oregon's Waterfront

Did you know that there are actually three different weekend markets at Portland's Waterfront?

The oldest, existing since 1974, is the only juried one.  Portland Saturday Market (open on Sundays too!) doesn't allow imports from China, nor can its vendors sell items that aren't handmade or selfmade.  Portland Saturday Market is not to be confused with the Skidmore Market and World Market, both of which are set up right next to the Portland Saturday Market, and selling items originating from anywhere in the world.

Check out the quality of the creative items sold at Portland Saturday Market  (Sat10am to 5pm and Sun 11am to 4:30pm)  and come visit us at the Mesman Images booth on the waterfront space 216 near the food-court and get 10% off any purchase.
