Sauvie Island Lane with Trees

A view from Sauvie Island near Portland Oregon.  The island is on the flood plain between the Willamette and Columbia and is accessible by a single bridge.  It's rural, but close to the city; it's a favorite spot for u-pick farms.  This one will be in a September show in Winslow Washington at Bainbridge Arts and Crafts Gallery. 

Sauvie Island Country Road

Sauvie Island is an island in the Columbia River near Portland.   The land is nearly flat and is occupied by fruit and vegetable farms.  It's a favorite blueberry picking spot. 

Road to Tanner Creek

Tanner Creek runs into  the Columbia River near the Bonneville Dam Fish Hatchery.   This road turns into a trail.  The trail follows the creek up a deep gorge and ends at a waterfall.  Even though the sun was shining, the valley was narrow and densely tree covered and most of the trail was in shadow.  A short beautiful hike. 

Columbia River Sunset

This is a view of the Columbia River somewhere near Kalama, Washington - just a quick glimpse seen from the highway late in the day.  This painting will be in my June show at the ArtiqueLtd. gallery in Anchorage Alaska.
