When asked by a patron for any Dubuque pieces I might have left, I searched and found this one of the iconic Lock and Dam II, drawn off a bluff at the Eagle Point Park. I pre-sketch almost every painting in the field before I start in the destined medium, which was the case here. I painted a large, long painting, changing the format after completing this ink study. I had run out of frames, so this one was not framed for the show, and came back home in my paper tote. Such a unique place! Painting number 2645 in 2645 days.
