Oct Show at Tumalo Art Co.
Features David Kinker

David Kinker paints from his journeys on rivers throughout Oregon and the world. Rafting and kayaking wild waters brings him to hidden places only seen from the water and inspires him to capture the essence of these rare places. “Hydro Logic”, opening Friday, October 2, from 4-7pm, brings together new images from David’s recent trips to many of his favorite rivers.

Painting plein-air on long river floats deep into scenic areas, David then goes to his studio and paints many of the images on larger canvases. He teaches art and creates murals as well, and just finished a two-story, multi-wall, wrap-around scene of Central Oregon’s Cascade mountains in a private home. Working with unique exotic woods, David makes his own custom frames, giving his art an extra dimension of creativity.

Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District, open 7 days a week.541-385-9144; www.tumaloartco.com.

Grand Canyon in inspiration—”most of the best places in the canyon can only be found from the bottom up…for the moment enjoying the grotto, the sound of frogs and a cool pool to reflect on”—DK
