The Bluff Over Oregon City


Willamette Falls and Locks were behind us, looking this direction you could float the river right through Portland if you had a few hours (or more) and a canoe.It's 26 miles from the 'Falls' Where the Willamette River empties into the Columbia. Portland is about halfway, quite a fun experience. This sketch is a medium point Pitt pen and watercolor.

  1. Carrie, this is absolutely one fabulous point of view! I love the watercolors and marker effect too. I am reminded of architectural renderings for some reason. Just a gorgeous piece!

  3. Thanks Sherry!

    Celeste this was started up there that day and then I was working on one of the paper mill so this was completed later at home.
