Roosevelt Park

Gouache 16 X 20 ca. 1980

The Tom and Beth Gerhardt Collection

I slipped into a non-chalant frame of mind. It was a small Rapid City park, near the creek. I thought less of form, more of color and very little of composition. The couple could be ghosts of the 1920s dressed warmly. Other forms, rocks, fish; maybe a residue of the horrible flood of '72. Simply, over-all - a moment of playfulness.
