A Touch of Astoria Summer

A Touch of Astoria Summer celebrates one of Astoria's most vibrant seasons, when the city's streets come alive with visitors, artists, musicians, flowers, and community gatherings. Inspired by the lively atmosphere of the Astoria Sunday Market, Bill W. Dodge captures the energy and color that make summer along the Columbia River so memorable.

Collectors may even spot Bill W. Dodge at his own booth, a personal touch that reflects his longtime participation in the Astoria Sunday Market.

Market booths filled with artwork, local foods, flowers, handcrafted goods, and smiling visitors create a bustling streetscape set against Astoria's historic waterfront. The Astoria Riverfront Trolley, Columbia River, sailboats, cargo ships, and familiar downtown landmarks provide a backdrop that is unmistakably Astoria.

Like many of Dodge's narrative paintings, every viewing reveals new details and familiar faces, inviting collectors to slow down and explore the scene. The artwork reflects not only the beauty of Astoria in summer but also the strong sense of community that has long defined the city.

Part of Bill W. Dodge's beloved A Touch of Astoria seasonal series, this fine art print celebrates the warmth, creativity, and welcoming spirit of Astoria during its busiest and most colorful season.
