Gallery – Art On Oak – Hood River

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Elizabeth See @elizabeth.see.5. Elizabeth’s oil paintings of the forest and its creatures, as well as flowers and landscapes, are rendered in bold colors and simple shapes, yet the details and expressions are surprisingly striking. She wanders the woods and refuges of the Gorge to find her multitude of images. You can see her work and that of thirty other regional artists at Art On Oak, 210 Oak St., Hood River, OR, any day of the week from 10 - 5. “The friendliest gallery in the Gorge.” #oilpainting #fineart #animalpaintings #landscapepaintings #forestpaintings #peacock #hawk #moose #artlovers #artgallery #artcollector #artcurator #oregonart #oregonartists #hoodriveroregon #hoodriver #visithoodriver
