The original ink piece was completed 11"x14" in on Bienfang Water Colour Paper; a historic piece #2 of Historic Irvington, Indianapolis, IN, was created to honor our haunted, but fun, Historic Irvington piece for all of my Indy fans and followers. It has James Dean in it, reading a book by James Whitcomb Riley...Washington Irving mini-portrait...Free Mason Lodge #666...Thomas Carr Howe High School, named after the famous/highly educated artist major @ Harvard who during WWII was one of the famous Monument's Men, though not mentioned in the latest movie made to honor these heroes, some of whom gave their lives to save famous artifacts from around the world...the Benton House, home of the President of Butler College...and more historical locations in Irvington, Indy!

You have such a keen attention to detail & I love it! You've packed so much history into an 11"×14" space & the layout in this piece is so well balanced & has an amazing flow- this is something I would display in my home... Keeps the eyes moving in such an appeasing sense... Always something new to discover!Anonymous Guest 21 Jan 2013
I own this piece. It was a gift from my husband. I love it. The piece captures the essence of our beloved Irvington so perfectly. Thanks, Mark!Dani Dangerfield 27 Dec 2012

You've certainly packed a lot of historical references into this piece, Mark. The amber tone lends itself well to add a feel of antiquity over all, I think. Very good work.
