This is a composite of my sketches from a trip to Diablo Dam in the Cascades. The paper is a piece of scrap left from other sketches and it resisted accepting the watercolor. I won't use it for watercolor again! Frank B

  2. Beautiful Frank. I know I'm being greedy but I'd sure like to see more of your work (when convenient).

    1. No this is Diablo Dam and Lake, which has a boat that takes you to the trail head for the climb to Ross Dam and Lake. Diablo is the middle dam of the three; Gorge is the first one, Diablo is the second, and Ross is the third and highest, I believe. If you stop in Marblemount at the visitor center you can get information on the dams and it's a short walk to the Gorge Powerhouse, which has a viewing space so you can sketch the turbines. Thanks for asking. Frank B
