Oregon Grape Shorts
Description: This is my acrylic painting of the Oregon state bird and flower, the Western meadowlark and Oregon grape. Native to the North American west coast, the Oregon-grape is an evergreen shrub with fruits that were a traditional diet of the Pacific Northwest aboriginal peoples. Today these bitter berries are used in jellies & jams. Oregon was admitted to the union on February 14, 1859 as the 33rd state. This painting is part of my state bird and flower collection.
Description: Springtime in the Pacific Northwest brings lots of blooming native plants, including the trillium, salmonberry, Oregon Iris, red flowering currant, wood sorrel, bunchberry dogwood, salal, pacific bleeding heart, Oregon grape, camas lily, and stream violet, featured in this hand drawn line art design.
