Ireton Depot Painting

by Mark Anderson

(Very) Limited Edition Prints Available

In March, 2007, award-winning wildlife artist Mark Anderson created a painting of the old Ireton train depot.  Siouxland Propane of Ireton was the high bidder when the painting was auctioned at the 2nd annual Talent Show.  Siouxland generously donated the painting to the City of Ireton and donated the print rights to the Ireton 125th committee.  We appreciate their community spirit!

A very limited edition of 25 prints has been made.  They are signed and numbered by the artist.  Print #1 is framed and will be auctioned at the Family Fun night activities on Friday, June 22.  The remaining prints are available for purchase (unframed) for $100 each by contacting Dennis Van Oort at the Iowa State Bank in Ireton (712-278-2321).  Prints are available on a 1st come, 1st serve basis.

Mark Anderson is the 2004 winner of the Federal Duck Stamp contest.  He has been selected as "Artist of the Year" by numerous state and local Ducks Unlimited chapters and his work graces many wildlife stamps.  He generously works with local groups to help them raise funds through auctions/sales of his art.  The Ireton Depot painting is his first painting focusing primarily on a building rather than on wildlife.  The 125th committee extends its deepest gratitude to Mark for his contributions to the 125th celebration.
