HOT SPRINGS - As a Hot Springs small business owner, Silk Road restaurant co-owner Merri Nadeem wanted to find a painting of the town that showed its beauty, for marketing purposes. Although a plethora of paintings capture the sublimity of the Black Hills’ natural settings, she could not find any that showed the loveliness of the town, with its distinctive pink sandstone buildings.
