- Description
- A blue, black and white print of a multi-windowed hotel as viewed from the dock. The roofline of the building exhibits two very angular peaks, with a white chimney shown on the right-side roof. The dock on the lower right corner is colored brown, along with three benches on the side of the hotel. There is an American flag to the right of the hotel and two boats floating in the water. Dyann Alkire; River Place; justice I like etching because I like to draw. Things such as deep sea life, insects, birds, fish, and architectural structures appeal to me, and I combine them in my compositions. Each piece has a certain theme that just evolves as I work on the plate, rather than having a set idea from the beginning.

- Biographical Information
- "Rive Place" is a work that was inspired by the River Place complex on the Willamette River waterfront in Portland. Compelled by the distinctive and unusual architecture, the artist made the Alexis Hotel the main character in a work that has a Northwest atmosphere to the surrounding water, boats, and sky. (Unkown, 1988)
