"This attractive black and white tug is 30 meters long and 8 meters wide. She is a Sause Brothers tug, working near Astoria, Oregon on the Columbia River.”

Artist comment: "Pulling a barge, this large Sause Bros. tug seems to move easily upriver as she approaches the Astoria Bridge. Working with pastel on textured Canson Mi-Teintes paper, I sketched the scene with a triangle composition, from the bridge, to the boat's stern and across the lower 'third' of the paper. The line of the tree covered hillside outlines the top 'third'. I first painted sky and water, taking advantage of the texture of the paper to illustrate the ripply surface of the water. I carefully blended the clouds at the edges to give them a 'soft' look. The background trees are a middle value. I finished with the strong values of the boat with it's distinctive tower and antennas, mast, and stacks.”
