Woodland Bottoms

The Woodland Bottoms, between I-5 and the Columbia River in Southwest Washington.

Pasture lands, corn fields, dirt roads, a railroad trestle, cows and horses. I think I'll just keep painting it as often as I can because there are rumors of a new Wal-Mart. More rumors of aggressive industrial development.

For some people, it looks like a good place to build something. For me, it is a place to rest my eyes and mind.

Until they pave it. And put in a parking lot.
