Smith Family Bookstore

Stopped into a great bookstore on a trip to Eugene, Oregon over the weekend.  Racks and stacks of books everywhere and a huge art section.  I didn't have long to look but check out some finds.....

Merril Densmore, Moose and the Highway



Proud new owner of this Merrill Desmore work from the Slotin Auction over the weekend!   I first saw this piece in Kelly Ludwig's book Detour Art and it really stood out to me.  After doing some digging on Merril Densmore, you find that he is a featured artist from a nonprofit group from Vermont called Grass Roots Art and Community Effort or GRACE. The GRACE program has a great mission and has provided many with the resources to create.
