I went to the Art Walk today and ended up buying a painting. I wasn't expecting to do that, but I really love it. It's by an artist named David West. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute and was the director of the Sioux City Art Center for a number of years. He died 5 years ago, but his wife still has all his art stored in a portion of his old studio and opens it once a year. I do collect original art by local artists, so I was thrilled to get this one.
