and selling a product. During the season we
provide tents, tables and other gear. The Market

Cover Art
By Bill W. Dodge
Artist Bill W. Dodge will have his latest major new
Astoria original painting available for acquisition,
plus full size prints of the colorful new work. "I
wanted to further define what Astoria means to me
visually. The sights and sounds which make this
incredible area so unique and appealing. I
actually thought the large (22x28) depiction would
finally fully pictorially define its heart and soul,"
Dodge says about the painting. "But, try as I
might I can only proceed on my artistic journey to
depict Astoria. And the title of this new piece
says why I will continue defining Astoria visually in
the coming years. It is entitled 'Astoria is ... and
much, much more!"
Dodge has been painting scenes of Astoria since
1990 when he moved to the area from Carmel,
California where he had an art gallery for several
decades. Following a short period of artistic
retirement in 2012 the 83 year old artist has
resumed painting full time.
