The Tsunami Gallery in Gardner, Oregon ...
... is a really must-see Gallery (and hopefully buy) notice the figure at the top of the gallery ...
... well here she is the creation of Mack Holman the gallery owner and ...
...bronze sculptor ...
... and a genuine Oregon artist.
Mack said there are over 60 artists represented in the gallery ....
... and every piece I saw there was great from this Native American bust ...
... this Brook Trout...
... to this great Sea Otter with her pup.
The gallery is bright and spacious and the works are diverse...
... uplifting the spirits...
...reminding me of just how creative we humans are...
... and how much a passion for art can set me free.
Closer to Reedsport we stopped near the Smith River from some pictures and found a Cormorant on a piece of wood...
... a wooden Railroad bridge...
... a man and his dog zipping along, scaring the Cormorant away...
... and a few geese honking along over the river.
We drove over to Winchester Bay and back through Reedsport to the Dean Creek Elk Preserve and I caught a huge bull hanging out with his harem. Male elk have large antlers which are shed each year and this must be the right season.
Dean Creek Preserve lies next to the Umpqua River (our third river today) displaying New England Fall colors. It was a very good day reminding us of Columbus Day a big East Coast Holiday.
Quote of the Day ~ "I'm also interested in creating a lasting legacy for collectors because bronze will last for thousands of years so I'm not really selling the art to this particular collector but it is being passed on." ~ Richard MacDonald
