Sketched in line and painted in water color (plein aire) from across the street in historic restored section of Nauvoo, Illinois. Was there with my wife for a few days on a great vacation, wonderful place to visit. Many other interesting homes and buildings from the period of 1838-1846 have been restored and are full of period furniture. My Great-Great-Grandfather lived here with his family from 1842-1846 before he left for the Salt Lake Valley as a pioneer/refugee.
