Description
The painting is of the Zumwalt Prarie and the
Wallowa Mountains in Northeastern Oregon. I created the original and added a white overlay to created the dreamy effect.
The Zumwalt Prairie blooms in the the month of May and June.
The prairie encompasses 330,000 acres and 4,400 acres is a designated
National Natural Landmark.
The Zumwalt Prairie grassland is situated on a basalt plateau which varies in
elevation from (3,500 ~ 5,500 feet).
The Chief Joseph band of the Nez Perce were the original human inhabitants of the
prairie who used the area for hunting and gathering in the spring and fall.
The Nez Perce were forced out of the area in the 1870's after
President Ulysses S. Grant officially opened the Wallowa County to white settlement.
Many bird species are located here such as the Swainson's Hawk, Rough Legged Hawk, and many grassland songbirds.
