Grammy's Pictures: (27) Floating Marine Laboratory

This painting shows the OSU Floating Marine Laboratory off the coast of Oregon.  I'm not sure where it is now, but I think it was probably a wedding present to Colleen, she was a student at OSU at the time she was first married.

Grammy's Pictures: (22) The Columbia River


This painting was a wedding present to Greg and me.  It is hanging in my basement.  Some years ago we swapped out the frame for a natural wood one.  The result is striking against the dark paneled walls.

Grammy's Pictures (21) Gig Harbor

Mother painted several pictures of Gig Harbor, though she was never able to visit our home there.  Her inspiration came from our letters and from the photographs we sent. This one of fishing boats was done, I believe, for Colleen.  it hangs now in the office room Tim has dedicated to his father's memorabilia.
