Issaquah Mugs

Anyone who has lived in western Washington knows that water parks aren't exactly compatible with the weather, and having one open for the few months that you *may* have warm enough temps to enjoy them isn't really economically viable. While that may be the case, that didn't stop developers from building one in Issaquah, Washington back in 1984. Located at the south end of Lake Sammamish and just off I-90 in an area that is now just one ginormous business park, Waterworks Park claimed to offer more than a mile of waterslides. Built on a massive pile of excavated earth from the Mount Baker Tunnel project in Seattle, the park was sitting on an artificial mountain on land that would all too soon be too valuable, leading to its closure in 1988.

Issaquah Train Station is a color photographic art print of train tracks running in front of the Issaquah, Washington train station. The setting is Issaquah, Washington during the fall color changes. The amount of trees throughout this eastern suburb of Seattle that turn vibrant colors in the autumn is spectacular. The brilliance of this autumn display becomes the focal point this time of year with the natural pines that cover the mountain slopes nearby as a steady green backdrop.

Fall Bench is an art print I created with a prayer of mine as an overlay on a color photograph of a park bench amongst fall foliage. As a Christian artist, I seek to make sure that the prayer and thought I am using is a good marriage with the art print I put it on. In this particular case, the scene is perfect depicting a single park bench with no one around, perfect for a one on one conversation.

The Forest Mushroom is a color photographic art print of a mushroom head. I came across this scene while hiking a trail in Issaquah, Washington.

Mine Cart is a sepia tone photographic art print of a mine cart located at the Issaquah Railroad Depot Museum.
