An acrylic painting (16 x 20 inch canvas) of Emigrant Lake, Ashland, Oregon early one morning in June. Below is a slide show showing the painting developed over time (late 2018 through early 2019), the last three slides are close-ups.
Ashland is the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians are their living descendants. It is with humble gratitude that I walk and find inspiration from the land that these Indigenous people lived and stewarded for thousands of years.
