Is this Des Moines?
This week I spent the a couple of afternoons sketching and painting in the Pappajohn Sculpture Gardens downtown Des Moines. I gave plein air painting a good run! The sun and slight wind enjoyed blurring my eyesight and tossing my easel or watercolor board around at times. Totally worth is as I watched and listened to all sorts of people enjoying this public space. I saw everyone from new brides to people enjoying a lunch hour, to kids tossing footballs. Was this Des Moines?!? It sure was! I am thankful for the donation and tax dollars that went into finding/procuring and saving this beautiful area.
Who took that picture of you? I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou must've *just* missed us at the sculpture garden on Friday - the kids (and I) thought it was pretty awesome! My favorites were the "Man in the Moon" series (creepy faces with a toothy grin).
