Ravine

"Ravine at Ashby Park," watercolor

The great thing about being part of a sketch group is regularity. Our group has a pact to go outdoors and sketch, weather notwithstanding. That means rain, snow, wind or otherwise, someone (or several or many) go outside. We may not get great images but nevertheless we go. 

This little watercolor is from a while back. There are quite a few parks in Des Moines, and this one hasn't been visited by our group. It's a mixed place--playground, picnic tables, and the like plus a relatively unimproved area that features a deep and steep-walled ravine that needs stairs.
