1907 Courthouse


                  On the way home from Nebraska Stephanie saw the sign up on US highway 36 pointing us to the south side of town to this museum. We were taking the long way by going across the north edge of eastern Kansas and skipping the Interstate highway. I do not think we have ever been along this way together in all our years of being in Kansas. But then we needed to stop to rest my screaming back.  So I did this drawing while Stephanie read her book.  It would have been better to do some brisk walking instead of just standing there drawing. But I have forgotten the back issues now, and yet still remember the place by this drawing-  the stone porch, the brick walls, and some apparent concrete repairs done over the years to the arches.
                 Done with marker and pencil in a 9" x 14" sketchpad.
