This building is not really historic, but the Dairy Dip and Pizza Place in Grand Bend has been a family tradition since 1960. The building is very colourful and busy, characteristic of the shops on the strip in Grand Bend. The photo reference was taken at unique angles, so it was challenge. Google street view was a great tool to get more visual information in order to complete the illustration.

Lack of Golf

Too much rain, not enought golf. Can't be on the course drawing, but can still draw from photo reference. These are ACEO cards. Top is Greenhills, bottom left is Heron Point and bottom right is Rocky Crest.  ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals". These cards have one main rule - they are 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches - the size of a trading card.
