It has finally begun to rain so we had to move under shelter which changed the view of the river. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do! Watercolor on 140# hot press cotton paper. 4" x 11". It will be included in my solo show at the Columbia County Courthouse in Oregon, October 27, 2014 - January 7, 2015.

This piece is available for purchase.

The wild fires to the east and south of us are filling the valley with smoke. Everything has an eerie yellow cast to it.  The mountains in the distance are obscured. The air smells like wherever the smoke has come from, the burn was hot.  News reports the fires are 0% contained which explains everything.

It was chilly this morning.  Lots of fog that didn't burn off until well after I had to leave.  Just a sample of what is to come soon.
