Oregon - Trojan Park

5 May 2011
8" x 10", acrylic on paper
While driving back from the Broderick Gallery in Rainier last month (for the May Day exhibit reception), I stopped by Trojan Park, former site of the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant, for some views to paint.  The park incidentally has a disc golf course (with apologies to any disc golf aficionados, I actually hadn't heard of the sport before), and will be the location for the 2011 Oregon Disc Golf Championships.
