This photograph is looking upriver along the Pend Oreille river, about nine miles north of Newport, Washington, as it flows north toward the Canadian border. Autumn is always gorgeous along the Pend Oreille as the River Birch and Aspen change their colors to blazing gold against the blue of the river and the sky. Pilings left from the old lumber industry days still dot the river here because at Dalkena, a mere 2 miles further downriver, was a major lumber mill in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You can still find steel cabling and spikes in a walk along the shoreline. The area is home to blue heron, river otters, osprey, banded king-fishers, and bald eagles, not to mention the black cormorants that nest atop the many pilings.
Available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print
This piece is 32" x 12". The drawing printed on the mat board is of my original pencil drawing titled “Canadians on the Pend Oreille”, which is a gathering of geese on a mud flat on the shore of the Pend Oreille River. 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.
