Summertime in downtown Palmer, Alaska, fifty miles from Anchorage. The water tower seems to be an iconic symbol for Palmer. The 2-story building on the left is Valley Hotel and 24/7 Open Cafe. /the building on the right is retail shops and businesses, including Vagabond Blues coffee shop. The bicyclist was one of the last things to be added to this painting, in pencil, and never got painted, so far. Painted from life on location, the artist working out of his step van mobile studio.
