The image shows an unidentified man contemplating the piece "Tools of the Trade." This is an artwork etched into a glass window. The top piece features two houses set in front of a cityscape. Between the houses and the cityscape is a stick (perhaps a paddle) with what looks like a calculator at the end of it. The other end may be the handle of a shovel. Both sections are surrounded by a round border or dimensional circular platform at the bottom. Below the cityscape is a howling coyote, flanked by a map of the state of Oregon, and a few plant-like etchings. To the far right are words, a phrase or a quote, which cannot be discerned from this rendering., Tools of the Trade; etched glass; 1990, http://www.pdxcontemporaryart.com/main/shows/savinar_sept06.html, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
