A Litany of Salmon April 8, 2010

A Litany of Salmon is a watercolor exhibit by artist Eileen Klatt. Her paintings exhibit what has been lost regionally of the salmon species of the Pacific Northwest river system. Each life-sized painting of two spawning salmon is dedicated to a river and species. The exhibit features 30 watercolor paintings accompanied by a written litany. The artist traveled more than 2,000 miles and visited every tributary stream of the Columbia River in order to document the once-magnificent fish runs.
