The background of this piece is divided in half. The top portion is light brown and the bottom portion is an off-white. A rendering of a crumpled and torn piece of paper occupies the top two-thirds of the picture plane, and the bottom of the paper interects the division between brown space and off-white space slightly. The paper contains a dotted, red outline of a square and an indiscernable, shadey-gray shape. Below the crumpled and torn paper, in the off-white space, there is a sweeping line of what appears to be a blue paint dribble that rests above a horizontally oriented, skinny rectangle that is broken down into alternating squares of black and yellow., Paper Square; Scott McIntire; graphite on paper; Pendelton State Office Building, http://www.scottmcintire.com, The Oregon Arts Commission has nine Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

This landscape scene depicts a meandering body of water amongst tall grasses and trees., Allan Stephenson; Estuary-Gearhart; 10 x 18 inches, Allan Stephenson is an artist who draws his inspiration from the natural landscape particularly that of his native British Isles and also that of the Pacific Northwest where he now makes his home. *I am always looking for and attempting to communicate with the viewer that special sense of place that infuses some areas of the natural world with meaning, wonder and beauty. I hope my work can provide some escape from the sometimes frenetic world we all live in. I am a traditionalist. I don't see the art I produce as breaking any kind of new ground but rather I apply myself to existing forms and attempt to inject perhaps fresh content. I am currently enjoying the medium of pastel for it's direct hands-on quality that allows me to blend and sculpt the pigment using my fingers and hands rather than the intermediary of a brush.* (excerpt from artist's exhibition list), http://www.allanstephenson.com/index.php, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

This piece is comprised of four distinct sections.

A horizontal rectangular area across the top contains three separate squares containing three circles depicting three different views of a house.
