Vintage Dessert Landscape of Rattlesnake Mountain Southeastern WA State - Signed Gramps 1982

This charming original landscape painting, dated October 15, 1982, captures a serene and nostalgic view of Rattlesnake Mountain in southeastern Washington State. Rendered on a 12 x 16, inch Fredrix canvas board, the artwork features a soft, atmospheric sky hovering over the iconic treeless silhouette of the mountain. The foreground is alive with a textured desert palette, punctuated by vibrant purple sagebrush and weathered shrubs that beautifully evoke the quiet, rugged beauty of the Columbia Basin.

Adding a touching layer of personal history, the piece is affectionately signed by the artist as "Gramps" in the lower right corner alongside the date. This signature suggests the painting was likely a cherished family keepsake or a gift, imbuing the work with a sense of warmth and local heritage. The piece is housed in a rustic, dark-stained wooden frame that perfectly complements its earthy tones and vintage character. On the reverse, the authentic Fredrix "Since 1868" stamp confirms the quality materials used. This artwork serves as both a lovely example of regional amateur art and a heartfelt tribute to the unique geography of the Tri-Cities area.
