Oregon wall art runs from the volcanic blue of Crater Lake to Mount Hood, the waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge, and Portland's river skyline. A run of coastal pictures from Florence and Cape Perpetua and the state's two-sided flag round out the range. Water paired with a snow-capped peak appears in most of it.
Crater Lake formed when Mount Mazama collapsed after a major eruption roughly 7,700 years ago, and the water that filled the caldera is now the deepest lake in the United States. The blue in these pictures is not a filter; the lake's depth and clarity produce that color on their own, in every season from summer to the snow scenes shown here.
The small cone rising from the lake's surface is Wizard Island, itself a later volcanic formation inside the larger caldera, and it appears as the one solid shape breaking the water in several of the wide lake views. Pictures without the island are shot from an angle that faces away from it, not a different lake.
Mount Hood is Oregon's tallest mountain, a dormant stratovolcano visible from Portland on a clear day, and it appears here reflected in Trillium Lake, seen from farmland, and lit at sunset. The reflection pictures need still water to work, so they read calmest in the early morning shots rather than the sunset ones, where wind often breaks the surface.
At 620 feet, Multnomah Falls is Oregon's tallest waterfall, and the Benson Footbridge crossing it partway up, built in 1914, appears in nearly every picture of the falls here. A winter version shows the same bridge and falls partly frozen, which is a colder, quieter version of the same scene rather than a different waterfall.
Vista House is a stone observatory built in 1918 at Crown Point, on the historic Columbia River Highway, and the pictures here show it above the river gorge rather than as a close building portrait. It is the one piece of built architecture in a range otherwise given to lakes, mountains and falls.
West of the mountains, the range picks up the Siuslaw River Bridge in Florence, the rocky shoreline at Cape Perpetua, and Heceta Head Lighthouse, still an active aid to navigation on the central coast. These are the only ocean pictures here, and they carry a cooler, greyer light than the inland lake and mountain scenes.
Oregon's flag is the only state flag in the country with a different image on each face: the state seal on the front and a beaver on the reverse. The pictures here show the flag waving and with its seal, which is the same design carried on both plain and detailed treatments.
A reflection picture, whether Crater Lake or Mount Hood, is a tall subject doubled by its own mirror image, so it can hang at a smaller size than a wide skyline and still read clearly. The Columbia River Gorge and Portland skyline pictures are wider and want closer to the full width of the furniture below.
The wide lake and gorge views suit a panoramic canvas, which keeps the horizon unbroken. Multnomah Falls and the frozen Benson Bridge picture are available as a vertical canvas, following the waterfall's own drop rather than cropping it into a square.
For the city on its own see Portland wall art, for mountains elsewhere see mountain wall art, for other waterfalls see waterfall wall art, and for the neighboring state see Washington State wall art.
Each canvas is made to order on museum quality material with archival inks that resist fading, stretched over a solid wooden inner frame, and shipped ready to hang, shipping included at no extra cost.
Crater Lake and Wizard Island, Mount Hood reflected in nearby lakes, Multnomah Falls and its footbridge, Vista House above the Columbia River Gorge, coastal scenes from Florence and Cape Perpetua, and the Oregon state flag.
About 1,943 feet at its deepest point, making it the deepest lake in the United States. It formed in the caldera left by the collapse of Mount Mazama roughly 7,700 years ago.
The Benson Footbridge, built in 1914 partway up the falls. It appears in both the standard and the winter, partly frozen versions of the scene sold here.
Oregon is the only US state with a different design on each side of its flag: the state seal on the front and a beaver on the back. Both faces use the same blue and gold color scheme.
A panoramic canvas for the wide lake views, which keeps the horizon in one strip. A single canvas at a moderate size works for the closer reflection pictures, since the mirrored image reads clearly even at a smaller size.
