High Desert Art League member Janet Frost is exhibiting her landscape paintings at the Oxford Hotel during the month of May.  Inspired by Central Oregon’s landscape, Frost’s works in oil interpret the natural beauty and atmosphere that make the region unique.   This exhibit, entitled “River Impressions,” focuses on the banks of the upper Deschutes River. 

“One of our area’s favorite pastimes is to take a float down the Deschutes.” Frost says.  “In creating these paintings, I was thinking about what one might encounter along the river on a summer afternoon.  On a single float, you might experience brilliant sun and dark storm clouds, woodlands and wetlands, and, of course, the abundant wild life that make the river their home.”      

Frost is an award-winning artist who received her degree in fine art from the University of Redlands and has continued her painting education through numerous classes and workshops over the years.    She is a member of the High Desert Art League, Oil Painters of America, the American Impressionist Society and Plein Air Painters of Oregon (PAPO).
