5.5x8.5 watercolor and ink done plein air last Sunday afternoon following rain so there were no great shadows. I've only sketched three buildings on the east side of Main Street as each one is unique; lots of details have been omitted. The sign for City Barber Shop is actually white outlined in red but it didn't show up well. You can see 1900 at the top of the far left building and I did not put James Currie sign under it in this composition (this was longtime store Big Spring Hardware owned by the Atkins family).
