As if our Malheur NWR project wasn\u2019t enough, this week I launched into a new project \u2013 and for once it\u2019s local. I\u2019m painting somewhere around 340 sq feet of paintings in 15 panels for one of my favorite places. The Hoh River Rain Forest here in our county, but it\u2019s all the way on the far side of the park and takes hours to get there. For awhile, a representation of it will live in our studio. The drawings are almost finished and the fun ready to begin.<\/p>\n

Top photo: This is a pretty complex painting, so I used my own photos to piece something together to start the process. This actually wraps around onto four walls; the bottom is the underground area, a railing with forest floor above that, and then an upper canopy area disjointed from the rest. Complex might be an understatement.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was thrilled to get this commission since this is one of our favorite places. Countless times we\u2019ve hiked the River Trail \u2013 the direct pipeline to Mount Olympus. We\u2019ve camped here, watched elk fight it out for their lovers, found the \u2018One Square Inch of Silence\u2019 (Google it). Below is Nancy at the beginning of that famous trail. I first hiked here in 1978 \u2013 who would have thought that 40 years later I would get to paint a big mural here.<\/p>\n
