Oregon Historical Society

We went to the local farmer's market in downtown Portland this morning and viewed the work being done on this mural of the Oregon Historical Society.
I don't know how many buildings they own but this one was sold in 2014.
The deal was to allow the OHS ownership of the famous mural, and it would be revitalized by both parties.
The 14,000 square foot mural is made of Keim silicate paint and was originally commissioned by the Oregon Historical Society in 1989. According to Richard Haas’ website, “the west face of this multi-part mural, painted on four sides of a six-sided building depicts four, thirty-feet-high participants of the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-05. 


It conveniently plays into tomorrow's Abstract Thursday theme which is: Portraying Depth - Leading Lines - and All That. Tag it AT48.
There is a lot going on in the mural that appears three dimensional but the beauty of this artwork is that a great deal of it is two dimensions.
So this is only one example of leading lines and depth.
Here is a link with other suggested avenues. Have fun getting into your depths of disguise.

Extra: The bicyclist in town was given some over the top lines in the spirit of "All That".
