Power Company Yard with Capitol Dome
Power Co. Yard with Capitol Dome I IPad-painted this last Sunday morning in Madison's new “warehouse district.” It was lots of fun and to be honest when I started it I thought nothing would come of it because there was way to much stuff to organize. But I'm really happy with the way it came… Continue reading Power Company Yard with Capitol Dome
