The Wallow

One of the many cobblestone remnants that are scattered throughout Medicine Park. According to Charley Wright longtime resident of the Park, this was the Medicine Park dive group headquarters. In the 60s they dove the many lakes in the area including Elmer Thomas Lake (one of the clearest lakes in Oklahoma) for spear fishing. Game included flat-head catfish (some over 100#), carp, gar and others.

The Medicine Park Motorcycle Shop

The motorcycle shop, aptly named "Chaps My Ass" caters to the hundreds of motorcyclists who annually visit or pass through Medicine Park on their way to or from the adjacent Wichita Wildlife Refuge. In this picture I used a little pastel work to supplement my watercolors. It worked pretty good. I may have to try more of it in future sketches and paintings.
