Once youthful
now hath grown old
with character, charm & cherished memories
the history of it all
without trying to be anything
other than what it is
with character, charm & cherished memories
the history of it all
without trying to be anything
other than what it is
at the heart of its architectural soul.

this beautiful weathered stone Lake House-
While casually exploring, looking for the view,
the path wound in and out along the shoreline.
Making my way around the bend
across an ancient bridge
and down the stone steps, it felt oddly familiar.
I suppress a shiver, the Lake House
is drenched in radiant light
looking like some mythic fen
at the edge of the world.
I knew at once
that I would paint the scene;
*It stirred my soul*
The End
photos 1-5 boat house that is situated on its own private island in Lake Oswego, Portland Oregon.
This most unusual boathouse, designed by architect, Richard Sundeleaf, in 1933, is constructed of stones, sculptured turrets, wrought iron gates and exposed beam interiors. Inside, on an old stone bench, the owner can sit, look at the lake, and beyond see an unimpeded view of Mount Hood.
