ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Log Rhythm is a figurative landscape painting by artist Roger Jones. The painting depicts a creek near the Pacific coast between Rockaway and Twin Rocks, Oregon. The artist notes, “In this painting, I dealt with my strong interest in nature and animals – the Great Blue Heron sitting by the secluded beach. It is an image of both fantasy and reality.”
