"Water Tower Town"

6" x 6" acrylic on gessoboard
-SOLD-

Last night on American Idol, Scotty McCreery performed his new hit song, "Water Tower Town". The lyrics really ring true for this small town in which I live. And, it so happens that I've begun a series of paintings all about my little town. This is our newest water tower just north of town by the ball park. We actually have two water towers (woo-hoo!) so a painting of the old one will be next.

Thank you Scotty, you described my town perfectly. :)
