This was one of my favorite places to visit as a teen. The beauty of the place has not change, since my teen years. This spot is known by locals as the "Four Arches". This place is in Greencastle Indiana in Putnum County.

It poured down rain  on Saturday during the paint-out in Brookville Indiana. It made a soggy day of painting, so I gave up and painted this in the motel.

I've been staying with some friends this summer on their farm. In the back part of their property I have found an artist dream. Old farm equipment to paint! It has been such a delight to spend my summer here with them.

It was a very cold morning. I don't think I have ever been that cold painting. 

I liked the color of the barn which seemed to brighten up the cold gray sky. I had fun painting this painting along side with another artist. It's always fun if you have someone with you when you paint. 

This painting was painted in New Harmony Indiana for the "First Brush of Spring" paint out. 

New Paintings Coming Your Way

I will be updating new painting next week to my blog. There will be paintings from my New Harmony trip, First Brush of Spring.

Each painting will tell a story of my adventure, and people I have met. Along with pictures of this unique Utopian town. The adventure is just days away. See you in a week.

This was an exciting trip to Derby Indiana at the end of September 2012. The trees were starting to change their colors, and the days were still warm. I could not ask for better weather. It was just perfect to paint plein air and take photos.

Derby Indiana is along highway 66 and Highway 70 in Southern Indiana. There is not much there in business, but it offers cabins for a getaway along the Ohio river, and beauty all around for sight seeing.

This was a perfect vacation on the weekend and I would love to revisit this place some day soon.
