| "Elephant with Banner", Anonymous Colby College Museum of Art |
The first time I attended Parents' Weekend at Colby College in Maine, I made sure to visit their impressive art museum, one of the finest on any campus anywhere. I was amazed and delighted to find several examples of penwork hanging proudly in their American Folk Art exhibit.
They even mentioned old Platt Rogers Spencer! Pretty cool, I thought, since I had just come from the Spencerian Saga...
Some detail on that elephant:
Then there's the King of the Jungle:

And finally, a memorial piece by James Macomber. Apologies for the blurry photos....

A lovely visit all around!
