| "Elephant with Banner", Anonymous Colby College Museum of Art |
The first time I attended Parents' Weekend at Colby College in Maine, I made sure to visit their impressive art museum, one of the finest on any campus anywhere. I was amazed and delighted to find several examples of penwork hanging proudly in their American Folk Art exhibit.
They even mentioned old Platt Rogers Spencer! Pretty cool, I thought, since I had just come from the Spencerian Saga...
Some detail on that elephant:
Then there's the King of the Jungle:

And finally, a memorial piece by James Macomber. Apologies for the blurry photos....

| "Done with a steel pen" |
A lovely visit all around!
Wow! How cool is that?! The elephant and lion remind me of our class with Harvest at IAMPETH. (Old L.C. Horton wimped out on the lion's head) Thanks for sharing, Jody!
