Over the next couple of weeks, I am going to post some recently completed commissions. I spent two summers living in Goderich, whose downtown has an octagonal traffic circle known as 'The Square'. This ink and pencil illustration, approx image size 5" x 8" was completed about a month ago. I think I should draw all the sides of the historic and beautiful square."The unique layout of Goderich's core encompasses eight primary streets radiating from an octagon bounded by eight business blocks.

SS41 Courthouse Square, Goderich

I spent 2 summers living in Goderich, Canada's Prettiest Town. My plan was to shot some reference photography of the beautiful and historic Courthouse Square and Park, while there for a family wedding in September. But on Sunday, August 21 major damage was done by the destructive tornado, so that did not happen. Finally on March 23 of this year, I was able to get there to take some pictures. I choose this block, mainly because it did not have much damage. There is one store boarded up with a sign reading RE OPENING SOON, just a hint of the destruction. (size 3.5 x 10.5)
