A Larger Painting today.<\/strong>We’ve added some names from Gallery Nine in Port Townsend, so if you’re getting this email and don’t know what it is, this is the weekly\u00a0art-blog for painter-writer Larry Eifert. Don’t want it? Just\u00a0unsubscribe below. I sent it about once a week.<\/p>\n

North Fork of the Sol Duc River.<\/strong> Now this is a special place. No one goes here because the trail doesn’t GO anywhere and today’s peak-bagging goal-oriented\u00a0hikers\u00a0 hate that. No lake, no peak, no stunning overlook – just miles and miles of stately old-growth forest and rushing river\u00a0awaiting. Elk, deer, salmon – and lots of dippers like this one.<\/p>\n

The Sol Duc is about 70 miles west of here in Olympic National Park. After hiking over a hill for about a mile from the Sol Duc road, we put on our water shoes and forded the river that was up to our thighs. Cold – but absolutely delightful – and these two natural barriers are what also help to keep most\u00a0hikers out. On the other side, with hiking boots back on, we ambled up the trail beside the river. Sometimes we were down on bedrock, other times up in maple glades festooned with hanging club moss and occasionally up onto deeply forested benches with enormous trees. There’s a lot of bedrock basalt exposed along the river, creating punchbowl effects and some very deep pools (like the painting). It’s a place to just sit and listen to the endless harmonies of water over stones, wind high in the\u00a0300′ hemlocks – and think about how lucky it is we still\u00a0 have these places.<\/p>\n

This original painting is varnished acrylic on linen canvas, 22″ x 28″ and is offered for $790 unframed.
\nWe can\u00a0custom frame this\u00a0for you in any style you’d like using our\u00a0wholesale framing\u00a0discounts (meaning you’ll save about 75% of what a normal custom framer\u00a0would charge). \u00a0This is the original painting, NOT a print. However, we offer custom\u00a0prints as large as 50 inches\u00a0on the shortest side.
\nEmail <\/a>us for details in your interested.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading this week.
