Check out Dad’s ink drawing Cincinnati Skyline — part of a really cool painting you can see at WSG. Dad this about the same time (circa 1978) he did the Love Letter to the Queen wall mural — now viewed as perhaps downtown Cincinnati’s most frankly modern public work of its era. You can see pictures of Dad working on the mural at this link: https://www.williamschickelgallery.com/shop/p/love-letter-to-the-queen
