Artist Comments
Mitchell painted this piece en plein air on an overcast early spring day on Sauvie Island. "Great to get out of the studio for a change," he says. "The scene lent itself to a fast impressionistic treatment, as I had to paint quickly before the rain started up again."

About the Artist
Mitchell Freifeld cannot remember a time when he did not draw and paint. He won his first juried show at age 10 and decided that someday, he'd be a 'real painter.' He settled in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early '70s and got involved in the burgeoning tech industry. From there, he moved to Portland upon accepting an information technology position. On the drive home after being laid off the day of the September 11 terrorist attacks, he realized life is short and decided to devote himself full-time to painting. His work focuses on architecture and cityscapes, and portrays everyday places that become lost to our curiosity through sheer familiarity.
