The Blue Door
This colorful blue door through a wall emits warm calm feelings. Sometimes doors can be mysterious and other times it can be perceived as an opportunity to enter into some kind of magical world. The sunshiny courtyard invites us to go through the door to look at what lies within. The hollyhocks lead to the gateway and the adobe house can be seen as a welcoming vista to pursue.

Purple Irises
The scientific name, Iris, is widely used as a common name for all Iris species. These bearded rhizomatous irises are the typical showy flowers. The word iris takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, as well as the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow or Iris. Historically, purple irises were planted over the graves of women to summon the Goddess to guide the dead on their journey. One of the earliest artworks of an iris is a fresco, which was painted about 2100BC, in king Minos’ palace in Crete.

Burning Hills
The sky is warm and the arms of two great hills seem to embrace the pink clouds. Easing over the humps of the hills and venturing down into the blue glaciers, the trees emerge in the valley. The row crops spread over the flat wide-open land and down on to the pink and purple road that winds throughout the valley.

Baja Fish
These fish live in a rich, unique, and migratory world. The marine life is directed by a theme of being born, feeding, breeding, and surviving. The environment is influenced by the ocean stream and the coastline with sand, beaches, and rocks. The fishing industry, the rivers affect the ocean and the life of fish. The intense light falls down into the water and breaks into the ripples with a mosaic of reflected colors. Water, food, light, and fish commune together.

Italian Wall
Traditionally, most Italian gardens are composed of greenery, But this entrance reflects all of Italy that creates an allure for the artist. The presence of bright red geraniums (Pelargonium) are always a contrast against the common greenery. These steps climb a steep slope between the two white walls and lead to the double doors, which are flanked climbing vines. Above is a window that is suitable for Romeo and Juliet.

It was part of an indigenous fishery or tribal fishing area (Warm Springs, Yakama, Umatilla, and Nez Perce tribes) that was flooded to create the Dalles Dam. This painting is a recreation or what the 2008 sonar survey showed. Sonar signal strength is used to paint higher or lower intensity colors. The colors are depicted on a color spectrum with the strongest returns depicted bright Yellow, medium returns depicted Red, and the weakest returns depicted Blue. The sonar results indicate that Celilo Falls remains intact and is buried under the waters of the Columbia River above the Dalles Dam. The painting of the sonar shows the channels of the river, The rocky outcroppings, and the basins of the river bed.
