Calloway’s Round Barn

Rochester, IN

As I review many of my paintings, I will be including some of my early paintings, as well as my recent and more complex ones. Calloway’s Round barn caught my attention because of the design in the roof shingles. The barn is located near Rochester, Indiana, which is located between Kokomo and South Bend, Indiana, north of Indianapolis on Hwy 31. There are other barns in this part of the state that have other designs, such as tractors, American Flags and vintage cars.  This round barn has the barnyard animals all the way around the barn, which makes it fun to see.

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.

Wings For You

Wings for You!

Lilburn, Georgia

I have had businesses and restaurants commission me to paint a painting of their places.  One of them was “Wings for You!” that started out in a concession trailer. They had served wings from that trailer for a number of years and were in the process of expanding into a shopping center space.

As a reminder of how they started, they wanted the painting to hang near their front lobby, for all to see, when they entered the restaurant.

The restaurant was located, in an eastern suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, but unfortunately, I have not seen their new business after it was finished, so I am unable to report on it at this time.
