This is another painting for an upcoming show depicting the land and people in different parts of rural Oregon and northern California.  The subject here is the "Pie-Lady" at Apple Valley Store in the Hood River Valley as she makes some apple/berry pies.  She said that she probably made 3500 pies in 2010!  Wow!  The store is wonderful!  They sell jellies, jams and other condiments they produce along with amazing pear dumplings and a big variety of pies from locally grown fruit.

As part of the Reflections on Rural Life project, we are visiting people, businesses and orchards in the Hood River Valley in north-central Oregon.  Such a beautiful spot!  Marcia, the pie-maker at Apple Valley Store, graciously agreed to let us photograph and paint her.  She made 3500 pies last year!  Visit their site for a look at a great family-run business and delicious foods to order.
