By Laura Frankstone in Mt Hood and Portland, Oregon
I flew to Oregon last week to visit my daughter, who’s also an artist. We stayed at the gorgeous and rustic Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood. There we sketched, snowshoed, ate, and drank, surrounded by beauty inside and out. Here are some indoor scenes, as close to urban in theme as I could get there.

Outside those Timberline windows, of course, were some incredible views. Here are some sketches of them. |
