"Mother's Day Oasis" is an original oil landscape of Ponytail Falls by Oregon impressionist Talya "Tali" Johnosn.
Behind the Canvas
On Mother's Day my family trekked up Horsetail Falls trail in the Columbia River Gorge. I set up my painting beneath the gigantic basalt overhang right behind Ponytail Falls, as the rest of the clan proceeded on the trail ahead.
I've rarely witnessed such lush greens as there were that day, with the sun coming in and out from behind the Pacific Northwest overcast clouds. The sound of the falls drowned out any curious hikers that passed behind me. For a few precious moments I was able to immerse myself completely in the scene. The power and magnitude of the falls seemingly washing away all my cares as it tumbled down toward the majestic Columbia River.
May this painting bring you to that oasis of peace as well, reminding you of the transient nature of worldly cares in comparison to the majestic universal plan.
Production & Printing
While my family and I handle the design and creation of each artwork, the printing and shipping processes are sometimes managed by professional partners who share my commitment to quality and ethics. I carefully vet all printing partners to ensure they meet my own standards of locality, rigorous environmental and labor standards.
- 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: My chosen printers use eco-friendly materials and practices, including sustainable inks and responsibly sourced wood and canvases. This commitment helps minimize the environmental impact of each print.
- 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: I collaborate with printing facilities that adhere to fair labor practices, ensuring that every person involved in the process is treated with respect and paid fairly.
By outsourcing to trusted professionals, we can focus on creating unique, high-quality art while ensuring that every step of the production process aligns with ethical standards.
