Springtime in Indiana

 

"Springtime in Indiana" is part of my "Around Town With Joplin" series of paintings that preserves scenes from my walks around town with my dog. She wanted to walk forever, but she also took frequent bathroom breaks. During her stops, I couldn't help but notice the scenery and take some photos. Oil on 11" x 14" stretched canvas. 

Summertime in Indiana

 

I believe I took the reference photo for this painting in late summer when sunflowers had bloomed. It must have been late morning because the sun cast shadows from the flowers and iron fence onto the narrow sidewalk. Oil on 12"h x 9"w stretched linen.


This painting was in the exhibit I had with my mother at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in Ligonier called "Looking for the Light in Dark Times".

Snowy Townscape

Is 'townscape' a word? Spell-check doesn't recognize it, so I guess I just made it up. It isn't a cityscape or a landscape, so I thought that title was appropriate. The big, brick Victorian house on the right is a prominent, though abandoned (hint, hint to the owner) house in Indiana, PA. Seriously, I wish the owner would either sell this house or repair it... quite sad. This painting is 12" h x 16" w. SOLD.
