Rendered entirely in palette knife, this
oil painting is of Josephine County's Indian Mary Park as seen from the
landscaping at the front, featuring it's
double totem poles in the foreground. The driveway passes around behind
them and the ranger's house can be seen in the background amid the lawn
and the trees. Farther in the background towers the mountainous
Rogue-Umpqua divide (the mountains which
separate the Rogue from the Umpqua Rivers) and of course that blue band
partially visible through the pine trees is the Rogue River itself.
Of course you can't actually see the
Rogue River from the top of the park any more than you can sight the
ridgeline of the divide, but it seems to me you
ought to be able to do both -- without huffing and puffing your way up
the hill across from the park along
Buck Trevillian's old path, which is also an option for photographers --
but impertinent I took a little artistic liberty with the
situation. While I was at it I also took out superfluous signage,
debris
and such, but some folks have said I should've left the "Galice Road"
sign up. What do you think? Maybe I'll go back and add it, but for
now I'm presenting it as finished.
If you are interested in
acquiring this painting, the most certain way to make sure
someone else doesn't get it first is for you to use PayPal and
buy it right this instant! I will ship it to you
ASAP, or if you are local I can bring it and meet you at the
Grants Pass Artisans & Crafters market on Saturday, or I can
personally deliver it to your southern Oregon home or business.
