Americana Project Celebration and “My Own Two Hands Art Auction”

Location: Sisters, Oregon (Art Auction to take place on April 14th at the Ponderosa Forge & Ironworks)

I donated an original pastel painting “April Afternoon at Cathedral Rock”  for the auction to benefit the Americana Project.  (see article)

About the Painting:  I recall it was cold and windy standing on the side of the road, but the view was worth it! Cathedral Rock is about 2 1/2 hours from Bend, and is close to the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument near Kimberly, Oregon. I painted here twice and then finished the piece from a photo.

Take note of several varieties of ground cover accentuated with colorful planted pots.  Enter the studio of a working artist and enjoy more color.
