Behold, it’s painting Friday (is that a thing?). Anyway, we have a few paintings in our special collections including this beauty: “Circus Day at Dosewallips” (1953) by Mr. Otis. Mr. Otis has been rumored–although he repeatedly denied it–to be author Stewart Holbrook (1893-1964), one of Oregon’s most prolific authors and popular historians in the mid-twentieth century. Adding to the evidence of the Holbrook/Otis connection, the painting was a gift to our collection from his daughter, Sibyl. -- source link
