Dynamic Dragon Boat Race on Willamette River, Portland
Vivid strokes of oil pastel blend to illustrate the vigorous motion of a dragon boat race against Portland's urban skyline. A team of rowers, clad in synchronized sportswear, powers through the shimmering waters of the Willamette River, their oars dipping rhythmically under a richly textured sky. The image captures a striking contrast between the lively, traditional dragon boat adorned with ornate, dragon-head prow and the modern architectural backdrop featuring the iconic steel bridge. The artwork’s Neo-expressionist style emphasizes emotion and energy, using bold, sweeping lines and an electrifying palette of blues and earth tones that evoke the spirit of competition and communal effort in this cultural spectacle.
