Mt. Hood

 Mt. Hood Obscured

 Mt. Hood Revealed

Mt. Hood Winter

Three views of Mt. Hood, the first from photographer Kary Stewie, the second from a photo by Tim Young, the last one from my own view from Mt. Tabor.

Mt. Hood Obscured is part of a show at the Pittock Mansion, "Mt. Hood Perspectives", opening January 31 and running until July 5.  There is plenty of time to tour the elegant Pittock Mansion, see (and purchase) artworks by local artists, and stroll the grounds with expansive views of the city of Portland with Mt. Hood in the distance.

Celebration

"Celebration" is my interpretation of what the 100 year anniversary of women's right to vote in Oregon means to me as a contemporary Oregonian.  Some things obviously change, like fashion, and more women holding public office.  For me, the young woman gymnast strutting and leaping with confidence symbolizes the feeling of freedom, backed by the history of those who fought for the right to vote. The Pittock Mansion is hosting an exhibit on this theme in July and I hope to have a painting included.
