Columbia At Donald Bridge

"Columbia At Donald Bridge", 9 x 12 In, Oil on Panel

This weekend was the virtual paint-out of the Columbia River for Plein Air Washington Artists. I traveled from the origin of the Columbia, which is Columbia Lake in British Columbia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Lake), and headed north along the path of the river without many glimpses of the river itself. The road isn't always next to the river and when it is, there are mostly big trees obscuring the view. Additionally, apparently not many photographers take shots of this road or the river in this remote country and post them to Google.

I also didn't realize how many dams there are on the Columbia River. In some respects, the Columbia is one long lake. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dams_in_the_Columbia_River_watershed).

In the small town of Donald in British Columbia I "stood" on the bridge and painted the Columbia as it heads north.
