Good-bye February and hello March! I just finished this Ireland-looking tower drawing last Friday and I have to admit this gave me a hand cramp from all the detail put into these stones but definitely such a rewarding experience to sit back and look at what I've done and all the time spent on this. This is a tower in Winterset, Iowa and it was built out of limestone in memory of Caleb Clark, who was a stonemason and the first white settler of Madison county, and his wife Ruth

Here is one of my in progress drawings that will be posted in my gallery for sale soon! I'll be adding a slight touch of red color to the slide. A very memorable slide to many people that have grown up around the SE Iowa area. Thinking of doing Snake Alley and the Burlington bridge next. Need some more memorable places to draw if anyone has any ideas for me...? #slide #citypark #crapo #burlington #iowa #childhood #red #inprogress #charcoaldrawing #canvas
