Mitch was contacted by Southwest Art after his painting “Morning Ensigns, Italy” received both the Best of Show and the SW Art Award of Excellence at the prestigious Annual American Impressionist Society show held in Denver, CO in October. Southwest Art Magazine has long been considered to be one of the finest art magazines by collectors and artists in the United States. The awards add to a long list of accolades Mitch has received over the years and his reputation as one of the premier painters living in the Northwest today continues to grow.

Eric Jacobsen Commission Painting For New Library

Eric's painting of the Gorge hanging in its new home in the fireplace area.

Eric with his painting after it was installed.

The Fort Vancouver Regional Library recently commissioned Eric Jacobsen to do a painting of the Columbia Gorge for the new Cascade Park Library. Eric and myself delivered the painting on Tuesday morning the day of the grand opening and it was installed in its new home over the fireplace. The painting which is from a view from the hills above White Salmon, Washington looking west, is a gorgeous addition to this spectacular new library. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by to see Vancouver's newest beautiful library and make sure to look for Eric's incredible painting as the pictures I took don't do it justice.
