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.

An out of the ordinary sight captured at Portland Saturday Market

Last Sunday, as we were standing in the back of our booth at Portland Saturday Market, we heard some children's voices ". . . for this food, thank you God".  Turning around, we found these three boys in front of three small piles of popcorn, praying.  

Their dad introduced us to 6 year old Angel, Christian 5, Ricky 3, and Dominique, the two year old, who decided to put off the popcorn for a nap.

Once you have strolled through Portland Saturday Market, stop at Mesman Images, row 200 booth 216 and check out our necklaces and wall decor.

The weather forecast is perfect for a visit to the Portland Waterfront

Wow!   The weather forecast is promising for this weekend.  We just about thought that we'd lost the beautiful Oregon summers forever . . . the 90's dropped into the 70's and the "canicule" (French) has taken a welcome break.

 Here is a long lost view of a cloudy sky (taken yesterday) and . . . guess what . . . Portland Saturday Market is open all weekend and . . . we wont have to deal with  the scorching heat. 

Come and stroll through the Market  and stop at Mesman Images Row 200 space 216 to check out our photographs and digital paintings of beautiful Oregon.  Available as gallery wraps, canvas panels or matted and unmounted prints.  We are located close to the food court.
