I don’t post much of this publicity stuff, but this was a nice bit of press recently (and we just walked in the door from five days in San Diego). This is the cover for the Olympic Peninsula tourist magazine, the Getaway, probably the one most visitors gravitate to. I thought the Port Townsend Leader newspaper did a nice job of incorporating the title into the painting. It’s cropped pretty severely but still works fairly well.

That’s Port Townsend’s Fort Worden State Park, a popular place with 2+ miles of beaches, a college, poetry press, marine science center, woodworking school, 1200-set concert pavilion where there are music and writer weeklong summer workshops and over about 500 rooms and campsites. It’s one of the best things about this little town. The painting location is on the road going up the hill to the old gun emplacements, giant concrete structures that look like a deserted futuristic city from Blade Runner – and in the far left background is Mount Rainier – at exactly 100 miles away, it still looks that tall, I’m not kidding.

We have prints of this image (not cropped) that now seem popular since it’s appearance on the Getaway. Here’s the link.

Thanks for reading this week.
