Stephen McMillan’s Klamath River (1990) depicts the quiet majesty of Northern California’s Klamath River. Created after a day-long bike ride through cold rain, the print conveys not only the geography of the river valley but the atmosphere of the moment—the weight of damp air, the softened outlines of trees, and the silvery reflections on water.
