Portland Art in Troubled Times

As soon as the protective plywood went up to cover the broken windows from the first night of George Floyd protests, in late May, the local artists went to work. They painted positive messages and memorials using their street graphics talents. I walked around this area photographing some of the murals. I will return to photograph more details and and the murals I missed. This is a work in progress, but I wanted to share it now. Not all is bad in Portland, as the medial would portray.
A book version of these and more photos is available on Blurb,com titled Art In Troubled Times.
