Here's one of my impressionistic watercolor paintings of "Tom's Burnt Down Bar," I created on Madeline Island Wisconsin. Kind of a cluster of a painting and chaos with no focal point, but that's the beauty of Tom's.
For those that don't know; this bar burned down in the 1990s, the owner was left with the charred remains and no insurance payout. When a b**r delivery truck arrived for the grand opening, he simply started selling cold drinks out of the trunk of his car.
Its roofless and open-air today. Not sure how the fire marshall lets this go, but it is an icon and must visit when on Madeline Island.
