We came here for breakfast one morning on our camping trip and I really liked the beautiful old structure with Mt Jefferson visible behind it.
Thanks for your visits
Ah, yes! Timberline Lodge. The C. S. Price wing of the lodge was named for my artist uncle. lt has several of his large murals on the walls. Been there numerous times.
@jgpittenger Clate was an internationally known artist,. He died in 1950. His paintings are in the NYC Metropolitan Museum of Art, the White House, for starters. The Portland Art Museum has a room of his paintings and a lot more in their basement archives, which I've seen. I have several of his paintings in our home. The Halley Ford Museum in Salem, OR. also has a collection of paintings and large and small carvings he did. My husband and I were contributors and did a lot of technical work -- I proofread the book at least six times before it was finalized -- on a book my cousin and a coauthor wrote on C. S. Price several years ago -- "The Life and Art of C. S. Price..... In Pursuit of the One Big Thing".
@jgpittenger Clate lived in Portland from 1929 through his death in 1950. He was a cowboy at heart, was friends with artist Charlie Russell. Preliminary to my cousin writing the book, John and I spent two weeks in Portland, spending every day going through boxes of archives the Art Museum library there has of Clate's personal papers, letters, etc. My cousin and I were the only ones who really knew his history, and knew of the many he corresponded with, etc. It was a real experience.. John took his scanner into the library and scanned everything we might need for the book. The entire project was about two years out of our lives with all we did for Frances, seeing the progress from dream to printing. Book is now available in various museums around the country and on Amazon. (Incidentally, Frances, my cousin, was in her mid 90s when and her coauthor startedd on this book.... finished at 98. Died three months before her 100th birthday in 2014. We happened to be in Portland visiting her on our way to Alberta the week she died, and she was completely still "with it"! She went into a coma the day after we left and died three days later. (We ended up "inheriting" seven bankers boxes of research material used during the writing of the book. Why?? Because of our close involvement with the book and the fact that she gave me the copyright of it when she passed away. What do we do with all this stuff.????
