WADAC member and local artist, Mark Wood is currently in the USA, having been commissioned by a musuem to paint three large paintings of the area, to be hung in the World Forestry Center in Portland, Oregon. He says he is being inspired by the magnificent mountain scenery, trees in Fall and nature in all its forms, is being well-hosted and is working hard! See below for photos of the museum, a local scene and a preliminary sketch for one of the paintings.
