So tonight I drove out to the Wortendyke Road to the Bontrager Auction house -- not to take pictures (but you know, I always have my camera with me) but to bid on a set of 10 Don Carmichael prints.
If you've ever been in a local business and seen a pen-and-ink drawing of a local historic building, chances are, it's a Don Carmichael print. (Lorie Longhany has also done some wonderful drawings of local buildings).
I had my heart set on winning these at auction tonight, but it turns out it wasn't meant to be.
Still, the auction was great fun and I always enjoy taking pictures.
More pictures after the jump:
Howard, I grew up 3 doors
Howard,
I grew up 3 doors down from Mr. Carmichael. He was a wonderful artist. I wish his drawings were more readily available too.
Keep up the great work.
