I have been drawing animals most of my life. Some of the first images made by man are animals. I am from Iowa and some of my relatives were farmers. I go to the county fair every summer to draw the animals there. For two years there was no fair. It returned this past year and I tried to take advantage. I tried to fill my sketchbook. I like the accordion book format. It provides me the opportunity to stretch the images out across a table top… much like the parade of the animals on the way to the show ring at the county fair.
