The Port Townsend Leader newspaper puts out a free summer magazine for visitors, and this issue has a piece of my Mount Rainier mural on the cover. That’s fun for sure, but they also used a bunch of smaller wildlife paintings scattered throughout the inside, making the entire thing sort of an Eifert Gallery in print. These magazines are on all the local ferries and in the terminals, lodging and visitor centers, a nice thing for awhile until I get sick seeing this painting everywhere I travel. Thanks, Marian, for being so delicate when you chopped up the painting and moved a few critters around. Here is the entire magazine online.

And here’s the original painting in the Ohanapecosh Visitor Center, Mount Rainier National Park.

I did this painting back in the day when I used to just dance into park offices and offer my services – as if I were somebody. I was cheap and completely unaware of the ‘rules’ of RFQs, IDIQs, funding sources and liability insurance policy constraints. I’d just go in and say “you need this” and they’d say, “sure, we’ll take it out of this fund here in the bottom drawer”.  Now? Well, don’t get me started.

Thanks for reading this week. Send this to someone who might appreciate what I’m painting and tell them to sign up. I’m trying to expand my list. An email will work.
