Weldy Amish School

Weldy Amish School

Nappanee, Indiana

This Amish school, located just west of Nappanee, Indiana was just a small school with a couple of rooms for teaching and learning.  The old brick school with the steeple bell that used to ring, calling the children to school and after recess in the school yard, which had lots of play equipment for the students to play on.

The school has been replaced by a newer school that could accommodate more students, but not before I was able to take pictures of the school and it’s outdoor equipment and, or course the old hand pump that supplied the water for the school.

I later painted one of the broken swing that had one swing too many.

Amish Acres Farm House

Nappanee, Indiana

During my life on the road with my paintings, I was subject to many nostalgic places with an opportunity an opportunity to paint. While exhibiting at my first outdoor show, in 1976, at Amish Acres, in Nappanee, Indiana, I took pictures of buildings and farm equipment on the Amish Farm, where they held the show.

One of the pictures, that I later painted was of the old Amish Farm House. Since I photographed my paintings, this painting was photographed over 40 years ago, therefore the quality was not as good as the more recent pictures. Some of the other buildings, I ended up painting, were the Round Barn, now a theatre,  Meat & Cheese Shop and the Restaurant barn.

At one time, many years ago, Amish Acres Art Festival was in the top 5 art festivals in the Country, I have exhibited and sold my artwork here for more than 30 years.

The Round Barn Theatre

Nappanee, Indiana

Every year, about the first week of August, Amish Acres plays host to the Amish Acres Arts and Crafts Festival, located on the grounds of a working Amish farm.  My first outdoor festival, where I exhibited my artwork was at this show in 1976.  It was located in the apple orchard back then and long before the Round Barn Theatre was a reality. I exhibited at the show 30 times.

I painted several paintings from around Amish Acres, including the Round Barn after it was erected. Other paintings were the Meat and Cheese ShopRestaurant Barn and the Farm House.

At one time, many years ago, Amish Acres Art Festival was in the top 5 art festivals in the Country, I have exhibited and sold my artwork here for more than 30 years.
