- Description
- Sauvie's Island uses simple black lines to capture man and nature. The silhouette of the solo male figure, with a hat and fishing lie, is placed next to a large tree by a pond. There is little movement in the image aside from the man's turned head. The bottom of the print exhibits fishing and plant symbols and a frying pan.

- I have often been out to Sauvie's Island on fishing trips and I have never been disappointed by the visual beauty of the place. It has a haunting, other-time quality and is a unique area in the Oregon community. (Cunningham, 1987)
