 So I spent about three months going back and forth from Ames to Oskaloosa and interviewing, I think, about a dozen people, taking them to coffee. I set up shop in the Smoky Road coffee shop for a long time and and created about 13 paintings of different aspects about Oskaloosa that they felt were good. And one thing that really resonated throughout those conversations was Oskaloosa's ability to sit down at a table together and make things happen.
