Life in Iowa is much different than life here in the Hamptons. Small towns fifty miles apart, miles and miles of corn and soy beans, open skies, and absolutely no traffic.
There is a drawing here of Rick from Down Home Country Cooking that served us breakfast everyday we were in Strawberry Point. Best Pie in town, too.
Go Hawkeyes! Next time we'll take in a football game.

What are you doing in Iowa?
ReplyDeleteDrawing obviously…what a silly question.
DeleteWhat are you doing in Iowa?
ReplyDeleteThese are very nice, Michael. If I may ask, what size are they and what kind of sketchbook do you like to take out on the road?
ReplyDeleteit's a Strathmore all purpose sketchbook. I actually picked it up in Michael's… eek. It takes a beating with all sorts of paint. I think it's 8 1/2 x 11. I use all sorts of sizes.. depends on the mood. I like to draw also on watercolor paper.
DeleteI will note that some of these drawings were done on paper and not in the actual sketchbook..i use what ever I have.
