About the Piece: “Beer Garden Dreams” is a reflection of how hops are integral to the beer industry in Bend, and in many ways, are the lifeblood of the economy. This piece calls to mind an early fall day spent dreaming of bubbling beer flowing through warm, glowing trees, under a frosty, beer-colored sky. Fun with beverages in surrealism! It is acrylic on sign board.
