Down the Gorge III

Down the Gorge III - 6x6 - Oil on Panel

As I drove down the Columbia River Gorge the corridor turns from wooded hills to cheat grass covered desert. The weather system of fog and light snow followed behind me, casting a beautiful atmosphere over the landscape!

Down the Gorge II - Columbia River Painting

Down the Gorge II - Oil - Landscape - 6x6

Sold

No amount of expressive brushwork seems to be able to capture the chilling wind I felt at the top of the Rowena Crest when I drove along US 30, the Historic Columbia River Highway. But I tried anyway!

Down the Gorge I - Northwest Landscape

Down the Gorge I - Oil on Panel - 6x6 - Landscape

Sold

I am so excited about  this series! Last week I drove through the scenic Columbia River Gorge to take a class by the amazing Cathleen Rehfeld, and along the way I took as many pictures of the dramatic patterns of sky, earth and light as I could. This one is looking across the Columbia River and deeper west into the Gorge. So no matter how many virtual road trips I take through Alaska, I still love my home state!
