Cass Taxi

Cassopolis, Michigan

Not all paintings, that I created were for sale.  I have painted a number of them as gifts for members of our family. Cass Taxi, was a present for my mother and father.  When my dad got of WWII, he bought a chicken coop and made a taxi business in the center of the village of Cassopolis, Michigan.

In addition to the taxi business, of which my mother and dad ran 24 hours a day between the two of them, they also had a Greyhound bus station.  The painting was a picture of them standing in front of the office, with my mother holding our Boston terrier, “Puggie”.

They ran the Taxi business from 1947 until 1957.  I painted the painting and gave it to them for Christmas in about 1989.  The painting now hangs in my home.

Cartersville Train Depot

Cartersville,  Georgia

During the 1980’s, I traveled and exhibited in a number of shows in the Georgia area, including my home town at that time. Cartersville had several quaint places that I painted during that era, which included their train depot. It sat in the middle of the downtown shopping district, where all the activity was.  The trains still came through the center of town on their way to somewhere, USA.  The depot was no longer used for passengers.  The brick design was duplicated in other towns, as I was told that they used the same blueprint on all of the depots on that railroad line.

The painting and prints were very popular with the locals as I had a set of four Cartersville landmarks, The 4-Way Lunch, Train Depot, Roselawn, Ross Diner, and of course the Euharlee Covered Bridge which was a short distance west of town.

Bonnie Doon Drive-in, 1950s

Mishawaka, IN

Bonnie Doon had 5 Drive-in ice cream restaurants in the area. This was the original store where all the ice cream was made and sent to the others. It had a drive-in area as well as inside seating. I painted it to reflect the 1950s era. The ice cream became so popular that the grocery stores in the area were carrying their packaged flavors. I personally loved their banana splits and shakes. Here the other Bonnie Doon paintings I have painted: Bonnie Doon, US-31 North, South Bend;    Bonnie Doon, S. Michigan St., South Bend;    Bonnie Doon on Lincolnway West in Mishawaka:    Bonnie Doon in the 1940s on 4th St in Mishawaka.
