Wonderful drawings capturing your local park as it is now, before it changes. I live the use of colour too. I live in the countryside, not far from a town. The development into the countryside is sad, i wish brown field sites were prioritised over green fields.
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, as you know, has been changing for a while. There's a new boom wave that just started this year. Improved buildings, new buildings, widened and new walkways everywhere downtown. Come check it out if you get a chance. (We'd love to host you.) Lots of SneakyArt opportunities. First Friday Food Trucks at Phoenix Park. Concerts in all the parks are just starting again. Soon, the weather will be warm enough to float the river . . .
That is wonderful to hear, Ellen! I do want to visit EC again sometime soon. Would love to see this new walkways! I remember the Friday Food Trucks. The first season they began, I did my first WPR interview by the new bridge. :)
The newest walkway is along the river behind the old State Theater and Hope Mission for Men, between Barstow and Farwell. A new condo complex is being built in the old parking lot between Galloway Grill and the river. There's a new Transit Center, being built in place of the old one at Farwell and Main, with additional apartments and businesses. The new L.E. Phillips Library is a sight to behold. All the books were moved to a temporary location near the Savers Store at Mall Drive. I'm not sure when the grand opening will be, but it's sure to be big. The biggest improvement to happen is the 21-acre UW-EC County Materials Complex with Sonnentag Center on Menomonie Street along the river next to Hobbs Ice Arena. They just broke ground a few weeks ago. Oh, one more thing, the Friday Food Trucks are scheduled all day, from lunch through dinner; so, you can go back twice and not feel guilty!
I love the use of color in these drawings. You have something new going on with that? Or have I just missed your color drawings? The fleeting nature of life: that’s all there is, right? Only moments to fill up to the brim, and above all to notice and appreciate them.
Hi Peter, the colour in this case was added digitally on my iPad while I was “cutting” the drawings out of the single page. I thought it was a fun way to look at them. 😊
The person hugging a tree — I die. I love it.
It was such a pure moment. :)
Love the color too!

So good to hear that, Emma. Thank you!
I hope the trees will be saved.
I'm enjoying the color enhancement. Simple. Fun.

OMG all of this sounds amazing! 😍 I can't wait to see it!
