View From My Window

View From My Window captures one of Astoria's most familiar sights—the towering green Astoria-Megler Bridge spanning the Columbia River as a freighter makes its way beneath its steel arches. Inspired by the ever-changing waterfront, Bill W. Dodge celebrates the quiet beauty of everyday maritime life on the Oregon coast.

A large cargo ship dominates the river while the historic Pilot Tug Arrow No. 2 escorts traffic below. Sailboats, seabirds, rolling forested hills, and bright Northwest skies complete a scene instantly recognizable to residents, boaters, and visitors alike.

Bill W. Dodge was known for transforming ordinary local moments into timeless works of art. Rather than focusing on dramatic events, he found beauty in the working river itself—where commerce, recreation, and history share the same water every day.

Printed from Bill W. Dodge's original artwork, this fine art print is available in one size and is a wonderful keepsake for anyone who loves Astoria, the Columbia River, or Pacific Northwest maritime life.
