Wallowa Lake

from $30.00

In far Northeast Oregon near Joseph, the lake reflects the Wallowa Mountains, home to the Eagle Cap Wilderness, called the Alps of America. This land was the ancestral home of the New Perce Indians, whose Chief Joseph is known for these words when he surrendered to the U.S. Army, “From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.” His grave is near this spot. Interesting side note. My great grandfather, James P. Rains, was killed by a renegade band of the Nez Perce in 1870 near his homestead on the Salmon River in Idaho.

Printed on acid free archival paper. Signed and numbered!

Available in three sizes, all are landscape orientation.

10 × 8, image is 8 × 5 3/4

14 × 11, image is approximately 10 ¾ x 7 1/2

19 × 13, image is 15 × 9

View fullsize Well here’s a new illustration I just finished. This is the view from the Council Bluff Trail in southwest Washington. It’ll be on the December page of my 2027 calendar (because of, duh, the snow) (although we hiked this on October 25). I

View fullsize Perfect summer day for getting my ORU out for a kayak trip. Scappoose Creek has a very cool gizmo to launch the boat, see last pic. Mt St Helens looked like it was erupting again with billowing white clouds. Turtles and snowy egret. 
Such a nice day.
View fullsize Yeah the elk are everywhere in Cannon Beach. This guy photo-bombed our sunset photos, then trotted off up the driveway!

View fullsize Oregon Coast never fails to impress, especially when there are minus tides, which we had every day. Love anemones. And starfish. Random elk visited us. Side by side comparison of my illustration and the view this summer, this year there’s no bi

More minus tides this week so more photos coming but next time we’ll go to the other point.
