Ballard artist captures Ballard's urban landscape, plein air style

Getting ready for his upcoming exhibit starting September 1 at Miro Tea, artist Matt Bazemore was seen painting on the sidewalks of Ballard Avenue this week.

Bazemore said "The Ave" is one of his favorite topics along with other Ballard favorites like Golden Gardens and trains.

"I do get out of the neighborhood a couple times a year but everything I need is right here in Ballard," Bazemore said as he continued to work on a painting of the Ballard Hotel.
