My Travel Paintings - Washington Pass Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest

My Travel Paintings - Washington Pass Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Peaks, Spires and a Ridgeline Covered with Snow. On the original image I posted here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/14723335@N05/38672370244/in/album-7...), I commented on standing at Washington Pass Overlook while in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and savoring the views and cool temperatures...and loving it! But it was an uncertain stop that I have to thank the friend I was with for wanting to go further on Washington State Route 20 in the North Cascades mountains. To think I might have missed taking in views of these rugged mountains...lucky me! As for the digital painting, I continued to practice more in using broader paint brush strokes like I'd seen in a Bob Ross video and watching another painter friend of mine. General highlights I worked on was with a Kyle acrylic brush. I like the digital effect it created as it seemingly had texture to it and not the smoothed over look other brushes have. I could then decrease the brush size for more precision in other area. I used more of Kyle’s Rakes - Zen Grind brush for the trees going up the mountainside. Work that I wouldn't call my favorite one but good enough to convey some changes in color and hue to create a sense of relief across the mountain. Could I have spent more time and added more detailed view of trees? Yes, but I was attempting to paint a quicker style and not spend weeks like I had in the past. What I did like was using a blend in colors as it produced a much better look than the typical Normal blend. The last area that really took a while to get the right look was with the clouds. In my mind, I knew the brush stroke I wanted but couldn't get that look on the digital canvas. I decided on using a Kyle's Dry Media -Compressed Charcoal and then adjusting the blend mode produced the closest result. What I found worked best was to brush out the brighter white area. I could then darken the hue, adding a shade feel to a portion of the clouds next to that brighter white area. I would blend at the edges. I would repeat that with an even darker area next to that. I would repeat all that again in another portion of the clouds. There's still some work to do, but I like the result more with feel of clouds. The last area was my continuing work with blue skies and adding a watercolor brush on top to break up and not have that smooth sky look. In the left foreground of the painting, you'll find that stick figure image of me "hiking" with my Cubbies hat, loving my time exploring the North Cascade mountains of Washington :-)

Architectural Finds, 06/24/2023
My walk today was a brief 20 minutes, I was meeting up with a friend from upstate for some chai who had come down the night before to stay with some other friends. We met up at the Chai Spot on Mott St. (which I definitely now recommend) and we relaxed in their backroom lounge with our chai's for 45 min or so. She eventually had to leave to catch her bus back upstate & I walked her to the subway stairs hugged her and said goodbye. Feeling the warm weather on my skin and the caffeine in my veins I decided to walk up Broadway, here were some of the architectural highlights.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This cute turret room on the top of the building on the NE corner of Bleecker & Broadway. Doing the smallest ammount of googling I am finding out this was Peter Venkman's (Bill Murray) apartment in Ghostbusters 2???? ok.
It just looks like it would be such a whimsical little tower to hang your hair from, idk.
Building Facts: Built in 1891 as the Manhattan Savings Institution, also known as Bleecker Tower. Architect Stephen Decatur Hatch.
Built in the Romanesque Revival style with arches and ornaments, as well as the red sandstone and signature rough cut stone of this style on the base of the building (definitely why it caught my eye, I love Richardson Romanesque/romanesque revival).
The tower on top eludes my brief internet search, but if anyone has pictures of the inside please direct them to me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next up we have this lil copper cutie who looks like it just got a face lift judging by the shiny copper facade on top. It is currently a FootLocker so hopefully they're treating her nice.
Building Facts: (obv) Built in 1889 by Architect Alfred Zucker.
The menacing gargoyles are cute.
(maybe more of an opinion than a fact, but) there used to be a bookstore called Shakepeare's on the bottom floor and the top floors were 1-per-floor studio spaces for artists to live/work in, & I wish that was the case today, not footlocker and high rent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MOVING ON, we've got this pair of cuties. Don't they look like the best of friends holding hands ready to face the world side by side? These guys are 734 (left) and 732 (right) Broadway.
734: Built in 1872 by Architects David & John Jardine in Cast-Iron Neo-Grec style. Until ~2015, the facade had become a rusted brown/black mess until they cleaned and repainted it.
732: Built in 1854 by unknown.
This little building has a complicated past but ill try and summarize the small dig I just did on it. Originally it was a 3.5 peaked-roof building as a set of 3 houses for wealthy sisters (daughters of John Mason) from 732-736 designed by an undocumented architect. It underwent large renovations twice in its life, and one small renovation adding the Treffurth's sign on the roof cornice. The first renovation happened in 1885 by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh (god write a romance novel already would you) and allowed the introduction of E. A. Mac's bookstore to take the place of the earlier saloon on the bottom floor. It was then renovated in 1900 by Bruno W. Berger to the Cast-Iron more or less Renaissance Revival facade we see today.
-
Im going to keep these next ones brief because I'm beginning to lose steam :)
Tumblr media
1 Astor Place
Built in 1883 by Architects Starkweather & Gibbs (they also designed the Potter Building). Brick & Terracotta above Cast-Iron ground floor facade.
Originally it was used as a hotel and boarding house with ground floor stores. The harsh vertical motifs on the exterior caught my eye, and I was drawn in even more by the harmony of the design elements and color choices.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
10 Astor Place aka 444 Lafayette St
Built in 1876 by Architect Griffith Thomas to the same owner as the above building, Orlando B. Potter, who seemed to have impeccable taste in architecture.
I love the ornate implementation of the painted white Cast-Iron in the arches and pillar ornaments on this one. As well as the eye-popping contrast of the white paint on dark red brick, kind of a juxtaposed take on themes seen in the building above with the way the red and black elements seem to blend in together in harmony.
Tumblr media
21 Astor Place aka Clinton Hall
Built in 1891 by George E. Harney.
Originally a Library for the New York Mercantile Library. I love the classic industrial look its such a strong look while they still tried to give elements of the facade some artistic nuance like in the arched windows and dark banding.
Tumblr media
Only Caught the side of this Collonade building but doing more research on it, it's owned by the Blue Man Group????
Built 1831 by Seth Greer and historically home to family member's of the Astor & Vanderbilt families, it is the oldest building I took note of today.
Tumblr media
And of course, how could I not be drawn into the Cooper Union Foundation building's charm. It stands seemingly so alone in the heart of Manhattan, close to a modern miracle.
Built in 1859 by Frederick A. Peterson in the (what I'm finding now to be called) Rundbogenstil German neo-Romanesque style.
I didn't realize it at the time but this picture also seems to be the back of the building. Still just such ornate and well-balanced design!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
HONORABLE MENTIONS: This house on top of this building and the cute lil mansard moment next to it, which I searched and searched for but I cant seem to remember where it is.
Edit: I found it, there were street signs in the picture whoops. The one with the cottage is 203 E 13th Street also known as Pear Tree Place. And the little guy with the mansard roof is 109 3rd ave, both of them resting above Kiehls 3rd ave.
Tumblr media
DISHONORABLE MENTIONS: This NYU Alumni building. Who designed you, they should be ashamed. What is going on with your offset, unbalanced terraces in the back? Awful. What was the point of all of these different colored brick patches?? Uncomfortable, awful. It looks like a neutral-toned Duplo set.
Built in 1986 and I cant even find the architect so you know they weren't very proud of it.

Anna Shepherd was born on February 11th  1893 at East Peterculter 3 miles west of Aberdeen.
Nan, as she was known, spent most of her life living in the same house she grew up in. As well as looking after her mother she went to Aberdeen High School for Girls, and studied at Aberdeen University before joining, what is now   Aberdeen College of Education, teaching English literature, Nan has been described as “an inspiring teacher, with a feminist approach in her lectures which was ahead of her time” She taught there until her retirement in 1956. 
Shepherd’s first novel, The Quarry Wood, was published in 1928, with two more following in the 1930s. All three are set in the North-East with the country communities and harsh landscape as background. Her book The Living Mountain, a work of poetic prose exploring her close relationship with the hills, was written in the 1940s, though not published until 1977. Hill-walking was Shepherd’s great love; her work mostly centred on her love of The Cairngorms.
I must admit I haven’t read much of her writings other than a few poems, but I recall s friend Steve, who lives on Skye posting about her on his, well his dogs’ twitter page, saying “Nan Shepherd has the gift to describe the mountains the way I feel it, and I only wish I could do it justice in words as she can.” This made me look her up and watch The Living Mountain: A Cairngorms Journey, it was on the BBC iPlayer but has gone now. I also found several clip on Youtube, just search for her and you will find them.
Nan Shepherd was renowned for the enthusiasm with which she taught and helped students, colleagues, and other writers. Her generous attention was not confined to caring for her invalid mother and the family housekeeper; she devoted much energy to friendships with many writers. She is represented in anthologies of Scottish women poets, and books of mountain poetry. Nan joined those Scottish writers already honoured in Edinburgh’s Makars’ Court when a stone dedicated to her was placed there in 2000.For those of you in Scotland, and have made it this far into my post about Nan, and maybe still haven’t heard of her, dig in your wallet or purse and dig out a Royal Bank of Scotland £5 note, that’s Nan you have been looking at for the last five years.
Summit of Corrie Etchachan
by Nan Shepherd
But in the climbing ecstasy of thought, Ere consummation, ere the final peak, Come hours like this. Behind, the long defile, The steep rock-path, alongside which, from under Snow-caves, sharp-corniced, tumble the ice-cold waters. And now, here, at the corrie’s summit, no peak, No vision of the blue world, far, unattainable, But this grey plateau, rock-strewn, vast, silent, The dark loch, the toiling crags, the snow; A mountain shut within itself, yet a world, Immensity. So may the mind achieve, Toiling, no vision of the infinite, But a vast, dark and inscrutable sense Of its own terror, its own glory and power.
The pics of the house are Nan’s Shanty on the edge of the Cairngorms, high on the shoulder of Morrone, with views over the village of Braemar and the Dee valley that’s her in the doorway with her friend Amelia McGregor, it is said to be the highest in Scotland.

“There is no calm for those who are uprooted. They are wanderers, homesick and defiant. Love itself is helpless to heal them though the dust rises with every footfall - drifts down the corridors - settles on branch or cornice - each breath and inhalation from the past so that the lungs, like a miner’s, are dark with bygone times.”
- Titus Alone, Mervyn Peake

Alamosa, CO (No. 2)
Alamosa is located along the Rio Grande in the San Luis Valley, in the highest general agricultural land in the United States. Elevation is about 7,544 feet (2,299 m) in Alamosa with peaks over 14,000 feet (4,300 m) within 23 miles (37 km) of town in the Sangre de Cristo Range.
Alamosa is the gateway city to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.
Source: Wikipedia
Alamosa Masonic Hall
The building’s elaborate stamped metal upper story represents a period of construction associated with the arrival of the railroad and the resulting ability to import prefabricated architectural elements.  Built in 1887, it was one of the first major buildings to be constructed on what would become Alamosa’s main street.  Street-level retail stores supported the second-story hall both physically and financially. 
Built in 1887, it was one of the first major buildings to be constructed on what would become Alamosa’s main street.  Street-level retail stores supported the second-story hall both physically and financially.
The Alamosa Masonic Temple Association, with its own funds, city support, and SHF grants, installed emergency exit doors, replaced the roof, and repaired and repainted the windows.  The second story cornice-and-cast-iron facade, with its elaborate Italianate trim, was badly damaged, weather, and faded.  Restoration required replacement finials, cornices, and parapet caps, all of modern zinc-coated steel and sheet aluminum.

Notebook/On Lucian Freud/On the Veil
Mark Doty
I love starting things
*
Fat and shadow, oil and wax, mobility solidified, like cooled grease in a can –
*
Seeing how far I can go
*
     Analiese said, happily, ‘He paints the ugliness of flesh,’      but that isn’t it: flesh without the overlayer, how we ought to see it, all we’re taught –
     January sky over Seventh. To the north,      a slab of paraffin. A wax table. Then it pinks,
     shifts, at the most complicated hour, after sunset, before dark, the lamps already on. A deepening blue at the sky’s centre, but the tops of the buildings still warmed by the last of sunlight,      the way he fixes the face at its most subtle hour
*
One of the things that makes you continue is the difficulty surely
*
     all the decisions of colour revealed, light making available every nuance of a (sur)face so plainly itself it’s become plea and testament.
*
     Ugly: resist the term, or open it:       the living edge resisting?      Surface the heart of the matter.      Strange achievement: to see skin       as no one else.
*
Never any beauty
greater than the body hung in the ceaseless wind of time and repeating in that current its stream of postures,
skin perpetually lit from within as if by its own failure –
*
When I paint clothes I am really painting naked people who are covered in clothes
*
January in grisaille.      Sarah and Lucy erased,            weirdly euphonious terms:
lymphoma, heroin.      Then an anonymous body            on the sidewalk,
a fifth-floor room onto Sixth Avenue,      the aching window open all afternoon.            A man on our block
pulled from his car and beaten      with a tyre iron by another driver            who wanted him to hurry up
and pass the garbage truck.      Flesh fails and failure            is visited upon it.
The book of Freud’s paintings      a brooding invitation, catalogue            of human suspension in time
and today I think they’re an oil      and pigment howl,            outpouring against limit.
But as soon as I’ve said it,      the old argument resumes,            the ambiguity of vanitas:
do these paintings of dying things      warn or celebrate,
does their maker caution or consume?
My life in the fields of this argument,
shifting skin      the live veil,
elongated grammar of muscle,
this moment’s agreement of light
on the pure actual. (No such thing as the body,)
Fact of a wrist.
Vein troubling a forehead.
Melville: How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall?
*
                                   (By the waterfountain in the gym)
On the huge man’s left arm TRUST above an image he called the god of joy on his right forearm inscribed above the veins a centaur
symbol of leadership he said of direction
I couldn’t speak, in some deep basement of myself thinking Maybe his great body is the fact
I require …
the dream of being realised
And half the night I’m thinking of the immense human wall and veil of him. What is it we want from a body;
the lying-awake longing, to what does it attend? Whitman: These thoughts in the darkness why are they?
*
Clothing veils the real;      flesh conceals –
what to call it? quick lively presence quickening through the lidded eyes,
a moment’s sharp attention,
the painting looking back at us?
*
The mystery isn’t mind      (what else are we, evidently,            besides aware?)
but materiality, intersection      of solidity and flame,            where quick and stillness meet –
Materiality the impenetrable thing.      We don’t know what it is            other than untrustworthy –
all bodies, even the young,      who rightly think            they’re untouchable:
that faith’s their signature      and credential.            I am a body less reliable,
and therefore the rough-scumbled peaks      of these faces thrill, familiar –            aspects of flesh breaking here,
the way we say waves break –      become visible at the instant            of their descent.
Caught somewhere in the arc.      How will these look            in a hundred years?
Stunningly here.
*
Intricate wall of appearances –
                       lit at its highest entablatures,
water towers and rooftops, cornice and capital,      smokestack and chimneypot picked out
by the glow slanting across the river,      intensified Hudson-light,
and warm lamps in the high windows,      neon over the shopfronts
flickering on;
world of consummate detail,      the city lay back, shambling, corpulent, nude … (why he loves the big frame: because it is no longer            flesh but the flesh)
*
Nothing ever stands in for anything. Nobody is representing anything.
*
My god: every body of a piece, every factual expanse of skin, the contour of them –
that’s what language can’t do, curve and heft of it, that stretch … Oil and shadow, fat and wax, grief solidified.
There’s no one else. You and I the common apprehension of this.
*
Our chests open, arms back, the teacher said, ‘This is a position of FIERCE VULNERABILITY – ’
I thought, that’s it, that’s exactly a position one could live toward, to stand in permeable faith,
and yet such force in that stance, upright, heart thrust out to the world, unguarded, no hope
without the possibility of a wound. ‘To hold oneself in this pose,’ he said, ‘takes incredible strength.’
*
Everything is autobiographical
*
I look at his pictures and want above all language muscling up, active work of pushing out some sound, throat and muscle of the tongue,
some hope of accuracy –
*
and everything is a portrait, even if it’s a chair
*
Accuracy? Go on, then –
to write the tragedy of this body
*
I want to go on until there is nothing more to see

North Olmsted Old Town Hall
5186 Dover Center Rd.
North Olmsted , OH
The first mayor of North Olmstead, Ohio, George S. Willet, was elected December 8, 1908. No municipal buildings existed, instead the council met at the mayor’s home. On August 19, 1912 legislation was approved to purchase land on Dover Center Road from Dr. F.A. Rice on which to build a town hall. Successive legislation approved expenditures to design, construct and furnish the building, which was ready for occupancy by the end of 1914. Since that time when Town Hall was furnished, it served as the seat of municipal government for a small village that peaked in population of approximately 34,500 around 1980. All legislation necessary to operate a city government was enacted here. As additional office space was needed, other buildings were either purchased or built, but the original offices still remain, only slightly changed.
     When Town Hall was built it was used for the entire village government operation. There was a Council Chambers, Mayor and Clerk’s office, vault, jail and general office which included the Justice of the Peace, Street Commissioner and Board of Education. The main floor of Town hall served as a community center. School plays, Grange meetings, church choir performances, graduations and dances were held in the auditorium. The small elevated stage was used for dramatic productions. Residents remember playing basketball in the auditorium in the 1930’s.
     Architecturally, the building is an early twentieth century version of Colonial Revival style. The structure is reminiscent of colonial Virginia’s eighteenth century county town halls: simple, red brickwork, restrained wood details at doors, cornices, trim and proportioned fenestration, one main large room on the first floor and a pediment porch at the entry façade capped with a cupola which signifies its public purpose. 
     A 2023 Community Project Funding request for $1.4 million is tied to the rehabilitation of the historic Old Town Hall building.  The building was listed the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1980, so there is a challenge to restore, because they have to be very specific in how they are attempting to rehabilitate the building.  The needed restoration work includes roof and soffit repairs, new windows compliant with U.S. Department of the Interior Historic Preservation Standards, tuck pointing of the brick façade, ADA accessibility repairs, waterproofing the basement and foundation, and adding adequate HVAC equipment.  When the work is completed, Old Town Hall is anticipated to provide an additional revenue stream as a rental property. The venue also would be home to the city’s local community theater scene.

More than 310 people have died climbing Everest since exploration first started in the early 1900s.It's dangerous to retrieve the bodies, so many litter the mountain to this day.Many have blamed overcrowding for deaths in recent years, and 2023 saw a record number of climbers.Dead bodies are a common sight on top of Mount Everest.On average, six people die climbing the world's tallest peak each year. The year 2015 was the mountain's deadliest in recent history, when an avalanche killed 19.Climbing season in 2023 came close to that record with at least 12 deaths and five more climbers missing and presumed dead. It was also the most crowded year on the mountain yet. Nepal issued a record 463 permits.Including sherpas that accompany climbers, that means about 900 people tried to summit the mountain from the South side during the main 2023 climbing season, which only lasts about eight weeks, each April and MayIn April, three Nepalese sherpas died while trying to set the summit rope up for other climbers. In May, an American man died on his way to the summit.When people die on Everest, it can be difficult to remove their bodies. Final repatriation costs tens of thousands of dollars (in some cases, around $70,000) and can also come at a fatal price itself: Two Nepalese climbers died trying to recover a body from Everest in 1984.Lhakpa Sherpa, who is the women's record-holder for most Everest summits, said she saw seven dead bodies on her way to the top of the mountain in 2018."Only near the top," she told Insider in 2018, remembering one man's body in particular that "looked alive, because the wind was blowing his hair."Her memory is a grim reminder that removing dead bodies from Mount Everest is a pricey and potentially deadly chore.Everest is crowded with tourists Climbers descend from the summit of Everest down the Hillary Step and across the cornice traverse to the south summit in Nepal on May 23, 2019. Twenty-nineteen was one of the deadliest years in Everest in recent memory, with 11 deaths.Climbing the Seven Summits/@TENDIGUIDE/via ReutersThese days, tourists spend anywhere from $50,000 to well over $130,000 to complete a once-in-a-lifetime Everest summit. It's difficult to know for sure exactly how many people have died trying to get up and down, and where all those bodies have ended up.Recent fatality estimates are as high as 322 after an especially deadly 2023 season. A BBC investigation in 2015 concluded "there are certainly more than 200" corpses lying on Everest's slopes.Some hikers are blaming the surges in deaths in recent decades, in part, on preventable overcrowding.As May temperatures warm and winds stall, favorable springtime Everest climbing conditions sometimes only last a few days. These brief climbing windows can create conveyor-belt style lines that snake toward the top of the mountain.Mountaineers line up as they make their way up a slope on Mount Everest on May 31, 2021.LAKPA SHERPA/AFP via Getty ImagesClimbers can be so eager to reach the peak and stake their claim on an Everest summit that they develop what's called "Summit Fever," risking their lives just to make it happen.Other Everest climbers complain about risky human traffic jams in the mountain's "death zone," the area of the hike that reaches above 8,000 meters (about 26,250 feet), where air is dangerously thin and most people use oxygen masks.Even with masks, this zone is not a great place to hang out for too long, and it's a spot where some deliriously loopy trekkers may start removing desperately-needed clothes, and talking to imaginary companions, despite the freezing conditions.Removing bodies is dangerous and costs thousands of dollarsNepali climbers pose for photographs after collecting waste from Mount Everest at Namche Bazar, on May 27, 2019, before it is transported to Kathmandu to be recycled.Prakash Mathema/AFP/Getty ImagesGetting bodies out of the death zone is a hazardous chore."Even picking up a candy wrapper high up on the mountain
is a lot of effort, because it's totally frozen and you have to dig around it," Ang Tshering Sherpa former president of the Nepal Mountaineering Association, told the BBC in 2015. "A dead body that normally weighs 80kg might weigh 150kg when frozen and dug out with the surrounding ice attached."Mountaineer Alan Arnette previously told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that he signed some grim "body disposal" forms before he climbed Everest, ordering that his corpse should rest in place on the mountain in case he died during the trek."Typically you have your spouse sign this, so think about that conversation," he added. "You say 'leave me on the mountain,' or 'get me back to Kathmandu and cremate,' or 'try to get me back to my home country.'"For years, Everest climbers often referenced one particular dead body they called "Green Boots" who some spotted lying in a cave roughly 1,130 feet from the peak. It was the body of Tsewang Paljor, a 28 year-old Indian climber who died on the mountain in 1996, during the same storm that inspired Jon Krakauer's bestseller, "Into Thin Air."Pemba Dorjee Sherpa, who has climbed up Everest 20 times, at camp three on the mountain in Nepal, May 20, 2019.Reuters/Phurba Tenjing SherpaBut in recent years, Everest's most infamous corpse has been tougher for hikers to spot, leading to widespread speculation that the body was either moved, or covered by rocks, as climber Noel Hanna told the BBC.Nepalese Sherpas generally consider it inappropriate and disrespectful to their mountain gods to leave dead bodies littering their holy mountain. In 2019, at least four bodies were taken down from the mountain by Nepalese trash collectors."There's sort of this idea that there's only one mountain that really matters in the kind of Western, popular imagination," filmmaker and director Jennifer Peedom told Insider when her documentary, "Mountain" was released in 2017.Peedom had climbed Everest herself four times as of 2018, but said the thrill of summiting Everest is largely relegated to the history books, and for "true mountaineers," it's just an exercise in crowd control these days."There seems to be a disaster mystique around Everest that seems to only serve to heighten the allure of the place," she said. "It is extremely overcrowded now and just getting more and more every year."This story was originally published in May 2019. It has been updated. Read the original article on Business Insider

An interesting ancient building! The cornices are angled, green glazed tiles cover the top of the mountain, and there are diamond shaped decorative patterns composed of gold glazed tiles in the middle of the roof. Brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, arch of wooden architecture, and colored paintings, each detail has been meticulously carved, with a sense of art, and the architectural skills are at the peak.

Birds from Parnassus, swift you dart from the loftiest peaks; you hover, dip, you sway and perch undaunted on the gold-set cornice; you eagle, god’s majestic legate, who tear, who strike song-birds in mid-flight, my arrow whistles toward you, swift be off;
ah drift, ah drift so soft, so light, your scarlet foot so deftly placed to waft you neatly to the pavement, swan, swan and do you really think your song that tunes the harp of Helios, will save you from the arrow-flight? turn back, back to the lake of Delos;
lest all the song notes pause and break across a blood-stained throat gone songless, turn back, back ere it be too late, to wave-swept Delos.
-Euripides translated by H. D.
