8.5” x 5.5” (21.6 x 14 cm sq.) Opaque watercolor on heavyweight, cold press paper. Ruddy foothills interspersed with bare deciduous trees and the stumps of larger trees that were clear cut. Rich tones contrast the subject, which some would see as barren but many locals would point out the beauty that remains in the hills. Two figures poised at the back end of a pickup truck. Original. Summer 2021. Signed and Titled.

Not all of the foothills in south central Oregon are covered in trees; some USED to be. Fortunes were made on the life-giving trees in Umpqua territory, but not all of the locals benefited. Here, as an early morning lightens the overcast sky, a couple checks the tailgate of their pickup truck on a remote road near Roseburg.
