Description

I was able to photograph Smith Rocks on a lovely mid-summer day. Smith Rocks State Park is one of Oregon’s scenic spots. Sheer volcanic rock walls rise straight up of the high desert here creating a deep canyon for the Crooked River below. Climbers and hikers come from all over the world to tackle the sheer cliffs and more than a thousand rugged trails. Many of the climbing trails are bolted. The most famous trail is the Misery Ridge Loop, almost 4 miles in length, that offers a breath-taking view of the Central Cascade Mountains at the top. The most well-known climb is the Monkey Face Pillar, attracting climbers from around the world. There are also miles of mountain biking trails and golden eagles, prairie falcons, mule deer, river otters and beaver.
Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and gift for the earth, hence the name of my art business, For the Earth. My mother painted in oils when I was young and encouraged my own drawing, painting and handcrafting in all forms. My father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result of these loving influences, I am a lifelong student of both mediums. I am grateful to my wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson, for training my eye and technique. I hope you will enjoy this image as much as I enjoyed its creation.
