Saw this building glowing in the sunshine while I was painting the previous "1889" building.  Now housing the local newspaper offices, the building originally was a bakery and confectionary on the ground floor with offices and apartments on the upper floors.

Painted on a sunny fall day sitting at a picnic table on the court house lawn.  Now for the history lesson:  the Marshall Block Building, built in 1889 (hence the title) was named in honor of Supreme Court Justice John Marshall.  It has been occupied by attorney's ever since.

For my cow loving daughter. If I can paint Pink-Pink's and my Fishy, I suppose I can paint cows, too.

  Would Moo-Moo like to pose for a portrait?
