This is amazing! The artist is my father. I had no idea this work existed, and it is such a treat to see it now. My parents lived in Sioux City for a brief time in the late 50s as newlyweds when my dad finished his MFA. This piece, according to my mom, was part of his Masters exhibit. Dad died in 1987. Thank you for posting this. It has made my family happy to see it.
