Drought conditions have been present in parts of Iowa, in varying levels of severity, for about three years. The river I see most often is the Raccoon, which meanders through a floodplain north of my home studio called Waterworks Park. The river is the source of tap water for Des Moines and though it hasn't run dry so far as I know, the level has been low for months.
Not long ago the Saturday group went to the park and I took time to draw a bend of the river that comes near one of the park roads.
