Jefferson in Early Spring—some thoughts on why this scene popped off the paintbrush… 

Did you know aspens have eyes?   A friend pointed it out to me one day while we were walking.  They form in places where branches once were…. scars healing over with kohl black "tree eyeliner."  Now when I pass a grove of aspens I look to see what they see--silent sentinels watching the seasons pass. 

In my opinion, this particular group of aspens has an exceptional view. Before the leaves of summer fill in the picture, these trees have the opportunity to watch the spring storms come in and cover Mt. Jefferson with a fresh coat of white snow.   I bet the water in the foreground brings in lots of ducks and Canadian geese for company.  These migrant waterfowl wing in with tales to tell of other places they have seen but the aspens just nod in the wind and say… " Thanks, we'll stay right here and watch this show."

Kathy Deggendorfer, December 2007

High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon is pleased and honored to make available artwork by regionally acclaimed Oregon artist, Kathy Deggendorfer.

About Kathy Deggendorfer: An accomplished self taught artist, Kathy studied in workshops from some of her watercolor heros--- Carol Riley, Judy Morris, Judy Hoiness. Her study included works of artists such as Kendall Jubb (color and pattern) and William Matthews (style and line). A love of Sisters, ranch life, the Sisters community and the beauty of the Cascade Mountains are captured in Kathy’s original watercolors. "My work reflects my environment . . . if it's primrose season . . . they just appear in the painting. If it's winter and the magpies are eating the cat food before the cat does . . . there'll be some magpies hopping off my brush," stated Kathy Deggendorfer. In 2005, Kathy was awarded ‘Citizen of the Year’ in Sisters Oregon for her contributions to the community and the arts and selected as the 2007 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show™ poster artist. High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Sisters and Redmond Oregon is proud to exclusively represent Kathy Deggendorfer in Central Oregon.
