Schnitzer were right there, waiting for us. The two of them<br />
grabbed us and said, ‘You have to go to Hebrew school,’ because<br />
they were apparently giving out an award for the number of<br />
people you could bring in.”<br />
For many years Westerman has donated paintings to the<br />
Portland <strong>Jewish</strong> Academy and <strong>Oregon</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong> Museum auctions.<br />
He recently painted a portrait of Harold Saltzman, a<br />
baseball hero of his youth in Old South Portland, and donated<br />
it to OJM, where it is on display in the museum’s summer<br />
exhibit, “In the Game.”<br />
Westerman’s work appears in many books, including The<br />
Best of Watercolor Figures, Best of Watercolor, Basic People Painting<br />
Techniques in Watercolor and The Best of Portraits. He is the author<br />
of two books, How To Become a Famous Artist Through Pain<br />
and Suffering and Paint Watercolors Filled with <strong>Life</strong> and Energy.<br />
Westerman says his 2012 exhibit at The Attic, which opens<br />
on First Thursday, Sept. 6, will feature “a number of paintings<br />
about people loving each other.”<br />
“The joy of being an artist is there’s always something else<br />
that’s exciting,” he said. “I have a million ideas I’ll never get to,<br />
and the wonderful thing about doing what I do is I’ll never die<br />
because I’ll bring a lot of smiles, a lot of thoughts to people by<br />
the work I do.”<br />
