Story Indiana

Story Indiana is such a cute little blink of an eye community with it's old historic Inn and gas station. I found the light gleaming through the trees would make a nice painting. The spring flowers add a nice color of pinks to go with all the green from the fresh greens of  spring.

Three Pears

I thought I would try something new for me, a still life! It's been a little cold for me to get out to do some plein air painting, so I went to the store and bought these pears. I know this is a good practice to do a still life. It is so much different and I find it challenging, but exciting to paint. Hope you enjoy this one.

The Shores of Whitewater River




The Whitewater River is one of Indiana's most beautiful rivers in the state. This was painted from Brookville, Indiana along Levee Road. If you ever get a change to visit Brookville, you have to take a drive down Levee Road. Part of the road had been washed away it made it a little tricky, but it was well worth it.

Holiday Show



The nest with red ornaments,were for the Holiday Show in December at the Hoosier Salon. I came up with this, thinking of what would a small animal take and put in a nest. This is one out of 7 nest that I have painted. I thought instead of putting eggs in a nest lets give it a little twist.

Change of Season




This was a fun time out in Brookville, Indiana. I was out on a paint out, but didn't have time to paint this plein air, so I drove around and took some photos. This was a painting I did right before Christmas from that photo.

Another Nest!



I painted this nest for the Hamilton County Artists' Association's Miniature Show in December. I could not think what to paint, so I thought do another nest. My husband told me "You are doing another nest"?  The theme for our December show was, "Good Things Come In Small Packages". The title is, "Early Surprise".
