Northwest of Portland, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, is Sauvie Island. Half is protected wildlife preserve, the other for farming. Such a fun place to paint! Even though it`s popular for it`s beaches it has an uncrowded timeless feel to it. Being a freshwater island, it used to flood regularly, now dikes hold back the rivers. The views across this fertile landscape are vast and peaceful.
