Our final moments with Jackson and Oliver were at the American Bird Art Center, in Canton, and a small but gorgeous collection of bird art. The rest of the blog is taken from the Portland Art Museum and the first retrospective exhibit of Richard Estes, the great realist painter. One of the most thrilling art exhibitions I have ever attended, and the genius of Estes was on full display. The pictures speak for themselves.
