“I made this piece at a paint out along the INCREDIBLY beautiful Columbia Gorge. This was painted on the Washington side, looking west to Mount Hood. I have been casually reading about geology for the past 5-10 years and Oregon has some good geology to observe. I titled this piece So Much Time and Space thinking of geology. I will get myself into trouble if I claim to understand when things happened, but there’s all kinds of great massive basalt flows making up the dark brown rocks, then there’s the creation of the Mount Hood volcano by the subduction of the Farallon Plate (I think that was the name of it….) Anyway, and then the Gorge was carved out by the flooding of a melting ice from an ice age. Just marvelous stuff. Again - I know enough to be in awe, but not enough to be accurately talking about it. Doesn’t matter - we can all enjoy the sky, the enormity and beauty of it all.” - Sarah
