November 2019: Carl and Nina chased a wild hare and went on an impromptu Urban Sketching roadtrip through north-western Nebraska in early November. Carl's ultimate destination was the area around Lexington, NE, but the first leg of the trip took them up to Alliance where they visited Carhenge - if you haven't been there yet, it's worth going out of your way to see (not just as an American cultural monument but a sublime urban sketching model in a rural setting for anyone looking for unusual subject matter). The second day they meandered through the Sandhills and stopped for the night in Broken Bow. After lunch, Nina drove them around in circles for a while before she fell in love with a power plant and settled in for an hour or two to urban sketch.
Heading south out of the Sandhills, they drove to Minden where one of Carl's prime objectives on the Nebraska trip was the Harold Warp Pioneer Villiage in Minden. The museum there was rumored to have a steam powered hay press from the 1870's that he was particularly interested to see. It was a little bit like finding a needle in a hay stack, not at all for lack of organization on the part of the museum or its staff but rather due to the extensiveness of the museum itself. It's a pretty impressive place with lots to see. Carl and Nina meandered through the museum for most of the day, still didn't see everything there was to be seen and had to be ushered out by the staff past closing time. Before hightailing it back to Colorado, Carl had some research to do for a chapter in the next Guerrilla Painter's Notebook Vol. 6 (coming soon!) which involved a visit to the courthouse in Lexington.
Stay tuned! As we know more about Carl's upcoming trips, we'll post them both here and in our weekly newsletter (you can sign up for it at the bottom of this page).
