Anyone <\/strong>who has followed these posts will recognize the river’s name, because I’ve painted images here before. And you may know the name, but I’ll bet few of you have actually hiked beside it or stuck your toes in it – but you should. The Sol Duc is one of those glorious Olympic rivers and runs unblocked for about 75 miles, from the alpine to where it joins the Quillayute just short of the sea. The North Fork is roadless and entirely within Olympic National Park, and has only a trail beside it – and it’s sweet and pure magic to meander among these huge trees and sculptured bedrock. It’s not one of those raging torrents like the Elwha or Hoh with gigantic piles of messy torn out trees blocking every bend, but a very refined and elegant bit of water you just don’t want to leave at the end of a hike. The catch? There’s a half-mile climb between your car and the first ford – a little hump that weeds out the weak. I think there used to be a log bridge, but that’s long gone and in my mind it’s a good thing. Keeps the trail isolated enough so you’ll have it to yourself. We just slip on river sandals and in a minute we were on the trail to paradise, listening to the sounds of falling water and breeze high in the canopy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This painting is a remembrance of a fine day of hiking. It was time to leave, but there was this one final moment when the sun highlighted the last bend just before the ford. It was a moment to dream about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ORIGINAL painting is varnished acrylic on linen canvas, 16″ x 20″ and $790 unframed.
I have some nice wood or gold frames for another $30 and shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone or if you take the frame. This is the original painting, NOT a print.
Email <\/a>us for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading this week.
