while visiting the rocky reach dam I saw this mural in the visitors center. I just fell in love with it. from above you can see the wall is curved to depict a dam and you can see dark and white horses in the mural depicting the water flowing over and the power or horsepower that is created from that water. took a while to find more information on it but HERE is more information on a blog I found which is how I found out the painter was walter Graham.
a close up of the work.
More on the dam later I just had to reserve this spot to honor this painter.
Amazing that someone thought of it and then had the talent to paint it! Glad you spotted it.
ReplyDeleteI remember this mural as a child, as we visited the dam often in the 60's! I have always loved it!
