If you drive north from Newport, Washington on Hwy 20 in Pend Oreille County, you'll come across Box Canyon Dam, which is a gravity-type hydroelectric dam on the Pend Oreille River. It is a "Run-of-River" dam, which means the river is allowed to flow constantly, which has less negative impact on down stream environments. The reservoir behind it extends 55 miles to Albeni Dam in Idaho. Box Canyon dam is 160 feet wide and 62.4 feet high at the top of the gates and was made operational in 1956. Sadly, the railroad trestle above the dam is no longer in use.
Available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print
This print is available as a 20"x 8", and 32"x12" custom framed print. The drawing printed on the mat board is of my original pencil drawing titled “The Canadians”, which is of a gaggle of Canadian geese on a mud flat along the Pend Oreille River. The Canadians visit this stretch of the river twice yearly, as they move between winter and summer migration areas. The handcrafted, custom frame is 2 species of wood, Black Walnut with Cherry insert.

All prints are available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print - I love custom orders!
Any print can be combined with a handcrafted, custom hardwood frame with or without a companion mat board.
Pictured are three styles of handcrafted moulding I currently produce, but I'm always open to new ideas and always working on my own new framing concepts.
Art Deco Mahogany: Any species of light colored wood with the rough bark left intact on the sides. I add Art Deco corner devices, and a high-gloss Mahogany finish. A unique contrast between the rough bark and the high-gloss finish for an intriguing presentation.
Art Deco Cherry w/Black Walnut: These frames are made from Cherry, which darkens over time, and uses Art Deco corner devices made of Black Walnut in varying arrangements.
Black Walnut: This Black Walnut moulding is clean, elegant and minimal, setting off the artwork nicely.
Although printed mat boards are one of my trademarks, the mat may also be clear of imagery and in its pristene condition.
Finally, I use anti-reflective, UV-resistent, museum-quality glass or acrylic to cover and protect my prints.
