The last rays of the setting sun cast their light across the mouth of the Columbia River, lighting the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse and it's namesake bluff, in an amber glow. The lighthouse stands 53' tall and was first made operational in 1856. The mouth of the Columbia River is one of the most treacherous stretches of water in the world, being the site of over 2,000 documented shipwrecks. In an attempt to make the channel passable, two jetties were built on the south and north sides of the mouth to narrow the opening and cause the waters to run deeper and scour out the sand, creating a deeper channel. One more easily navigated. As the sea is relentless, work on the two jetties is also continuous by necessity.
Available in Canvas, Metal, and Acrylic Prints
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.
