- Biographical Information
-
A horseback trip to the Snake River, from Dug Bar to Copper Creek to Tryon Saddle, rounding back through Deep Creek to Dug Bar again, provided the inspiration for a year's work. The huge vistas brought out paintings of deep space, like this one. The canyons, with trails barely hanging on to the steep mountainsides, often have grassy meadows on the high benches. The colors are rich and varied, ever reaffirming my position that "there is no such thing as a grey rock." I feel fortunate to live in the alpine meadows of Eastern Oregon and endeavor to communicate my sense of wonder through my paintings of its landscape (Slinker, 1990).
