Painting Roses at the Centennial Celebration of the International Rose Test Garden in Portland Oregon

-
Saturday, August 26th, Portland Parks celebrated the Centennial of the International Rose Test Garden in Portland Oregon. Oregon Society of Artists participated in the celebration by plein air painting roses and providing an opportunity for kids and adults to paint roses. 5000+ people attended the event and hundreds stopped by the OSA table to paint roses. There are a lot of rose painters out there. Peggie Moje, Sandra Pearce, Michael Musto, Randall Vemeer, Kara Wilde, and Myself painted roses. While Nancy Klos, Sharon Hall, and Yolanda Valdez-Rementeria enabled the hundreds of kids to paint rose themselves. I have never seen such dedication on the part of the kids and adults. We also had two eagle scouts helping us all day, Tony Kollman and Neil. Tim and Barbara Mahoney provided transportation and support all day also. Thanks everyone for a great event.
