Wash the Dishes, Aloysius

I don't make a lot of drawings, so I get as much mileage out of each piece as possible by scanning stuff when I think of it. This is just a little postcard-sized sketch with markers. I'll bet some of you remember seeing it before! This is an Iowa farm that Jeff and I found on a backroads ramble in May 2005. I also don't know what this has to do with washing dishes, but I'm fascinated by the fact that "dishes" sorta rhymes with "Aloysisus". Who would think that it's pronounced "Alowishus"?

I love this sketch! We need to go back to Iowa soon. Greg Brown is doing a concert at the Seed Exchange in July and Barbara Damrosch and her husband are speaking there a week later! Heirloom diversity, baby!

Yes, remind me and I'll show him to you. He's very cute.

Cute Iowa farm. I do remember the card and actually saved it. I think it was a b-day or thank-you card.
