This is one of two works exploring the theme of forest for The Portland Building. The Pacific Northwest is special for its forests. Portland proper is fortunate to include Forest Park. Consisting of some 5,200 acres, Forest Park is one of the largest urban forests in the country. During colder months, fog nestles in the hills. It has a dreamy, quieting quality.
