Portland Cherry Trees and Waterfront - Tamara Lion
Tamara Lion is a Portland area artist who was born in Germany and grew up on the East Coast before relocating to Oregon in 1995. Camping and hiking with her family as a child and later with her own children gave her a deep appreciation for nature and the animal kingdom. Her paintings celebrate the beauty of nature and the connection between people and the natural world. Her watercolor paintings focus on landscapes and florals using bright colors and brush strokes to show movement and joy. Her charcoal, pastel, and acrylic paintings focus on abstracts using textures, bold lines, and negative space to make strong statements.
Tamara's inspiration for her watercolor painting Portland Cherry Trees and Waterfront is the joyful scene of the famous Japanese Cherry Trees in bloom at the downtown riverfront during Spring. The Cherry Trees were gifted to Portland from Japan and represent the cultural diversity of our city and Oregon. Their glorious display during Spring brings visitors from all over the world. The joy, beauty, and renewal of Spring in Portland are celebrated in her painting as she captures the Portland Cherry Trees in bloom at the Waterfront, the Steel Bridge spanning the Willamette River, the Portland cityscape, and the Moda Center in the background.
