New Harmony #3

Okay, so much for creative titles, huh? This is another one of the many old houses that caught my eye in New Harmony, IN......more on New Harmony later.

This is an 8" x 10" oil on linen panel. It is available for anyone who is interested. You can contact me at rtist6162@aol.com.

New Harmony #2

This is an 11" x 14" oil on canvas, and available for purchase - if you are interested just email me at rtist6162@aol.com.

This is a scene from the historic town of New Harmony, Indiana. It is such a beautiful old town....plenty of history, wonderful architecture, galleries, antiques shops, the Wabash river, etc....it is worth a drive there if you are looking for a little road trip. I don't recall which building this is, but I do recall that it caught my eye with the play of lights and shadows. The building is striking but the light shining on the brick wall and into the courtyard beckoning one to take a peak around the bushes is what really drew me. Okay, so much for the tour'isty' talk.

If you click on the image it will take you to a screen that shows the painting in a larger format...shows more detail.

Not easy, but I am working it.

Sunny Day in New Harmony

An oil on canvas, 16" x 20", of one of the historic homes in New Harmony, IN. I plan on doing a few other versions of this one as well as some of the other architectural scenes I am working on. I would love to be there right now....heading back soon though.

New Harmony #1

Okay, here is a little oil on canvas of a delightful little house and garden I came upon in New Harmony, Indiana. I was there a couple of weeks ago and found plenty of subject matter for painting.

I know in my previous post I said I would discuss New Harmony, but I think that will have to wait for another day as I am still kind've feeling 'under the weather'. Stay tuned!

Just a Little Something for Now....

Well, as the title says 'just a little something for now'. I haven't posted for...well, too long...so here is something to hold you over....kind've touching base. I have been under the weather all this week, but I did go to the doctor on Tuesday, and am starting to feel much better (relatively speaking) :). This is a painting I started a few weeks ago but have yet to finish it...no hurry...I had some of those 'Cutie' oranges and decided to paint them...thought they look especially pretty against the stark white linen with the delicate cut work. Have some others started....hope to get back to them soon.

Went to New Harmony (IN), a couple of weeks ago...will tell more in another blog (when I am feeling better)....New Harmony is a great art town, also full of history.
