The first outdoor Art Festival I exhibited in was in Nappanee, Indiana, about 30 minutes from where I lived at the time in 1976. It was an exciting time, as it was held in the apple orchard of a real working Amish Farm.
I exhibited at Amish Acres Arts and Craft Festival for 30 years and made a habit of eating at their Restaurant Barn on the last of the four-day show, before tearing down and packing up my display. They are famous for their Amish Family-style “Threshers Dinner”.
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.
No Prints Available at this time. If you are interested in a print of the original painting above, let me know, I am always looking for new good quality vendors!

While exhibiting at the Mountain State Arts & Crafts Festival in Ripley, West Virginia, we met a Dentist who wanted to barter for a painting of his boyhood home. After completing the painting, we also agreed on a painting of his mother’s home in Kenna, West Virginia. In the painting, he also wanted the old classic car you see in the painting.
