Vision of an open air greenhouse in Sedro-Woolley, Wa. In the distance is the Skagit River. A mule pulls a load of flowers for transport and sale in Seattle.
Artist’s Comments
The flower grow house is set on the Skagit River. The time is the early 1900’s. Metal drums provide heat, and the resulting smoke diffuses light for the interior. These constructs create light and contrast reflecting off the rising smoke and walls.
