The Chief Ice Cream

The Chief Ice Cream

Goshen, Indiana

Nostalgia Artist Larry Johnston

When Spring arrives, thoughts of warm weather, being outdoors, the approaching Summer with trips to the beach, swimming at many of the local lakes and most of all, The “CHIEF ICE CREAM” in Goshen, now with a new location in Granger. For over 25 years, The Chief has become a social staple to Goshen, Indiana.  With that in mind, my latest painting was a no brainer.  With both seasonal locations opening, my painting is a reminder of the homemade ice cream they offer and the many flavors available throughout the season.

BBF – Burger Boy Food-O-Rama

BBF

Burger Boy Food-O-Rama

Columbus, Ohio

BBF first opened in Columbus, Ohio in 1961 competing with the McDonald’s fast food chain. They eventually opened 48 BBF restaurants in Ohio West Virginia and Kentucky before it was sold in 1970 to Bordon, Inc. The revolving neon Rotospheres on top of their sign always fascinated me and I’m sure it helped attract business. I painted the BBF to accept the sign, as well as the nostalgic history of one of the 15 cent hamburger pioneers.  I also included a few classic cars of the time to add to the nostalgia.

Fresh Fruit

Painting a still life is always fun, especially when you start from just an idea. I decided to do a setting that would go well with this Fresh Fruit cart w found. We were travelling in our motorhome, so I decided to make use of my son’s kitchen, with the brightly colored wallpaper. We spent a lot of money to make this happen, then had to eat it all before it all went bad. Here are a few close-up shots of the painting.

Martin’s Grocery

South Bend, Indiana

The Martin’s grocery chain started in South Bend, Indiana in 1947 at 1521 Portage Avenue in South Bend and has grown to over 20 stores in northern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan. The chain has since been purchased by SpartanNash from Grand Rapids, Michigan.  This painting of the first Martin’s was painted prior to the purchase. I included a milk truck that was used during that time.

Newell’s

Goshen, IN

Located on Main Street in downtown Goshen, Indiana, It was well known for woman’s clothing.  With changes throughout the building’s history, I tried to create the store as it once looked.  Since 1880 when the store opened, Newell’s sustained 4 generations of the family business until 2008. The store has changed in many ways, but the “Newell’s” stained glass sign still remains at 201 S. Main St., Goshen, Indiana.

Family Home

 Gas City, Indiana

While traveling in Indiana and exhibiting at art shows, we would stay at a campground, so I could spend the week painting, getting ready for the weekend shows.  Since we were is a motor home, Evelyn would spend the day at the Ft. Wayne Library, working on the family Genealogy.

My family, on my mother’s side were from the Peru and Kokomo, Indiana area. I remember going to Gas City, Indiana to the family reunions as a child.  I am not sure how it came about, but we ran into a family that was actually related to us, who lived in Gas City. They had just remodeled their home and wanted a painting of the finished project.

This is just one of several family homes, that I painted for customers over the years.

Underwater Face

While exhibiting at my hometown show in Georgia, a fellow artist, who painted a lot of portrait paintings, painted an underwater picture of her daughter swimming.  It received a lot of attention and the painting received many awards. Years later, I decided to paint several underwater pictures as a self-teaching color study.  I painted 3 paintings.  The underwater face was the first in the series.  The second was from Underwater looking up, through the surface, showing everything above the water distorted and the third was an underwater painting of the Underwater Diving Dog.   a painting of a Dachshund diving into a pool after a bone.

As many of you know, we had a Dog that is a Dachshund, named Wolfie.  He knew his BIG name too, he wasn’t usually in any trouble but when we called him Wolfgang von Johnston, he knew something was wrong in his world.

Since I was doing underwater paintings, I thought I would include him in the set.  What does a dog look like from under the water when he dives into the pool? This painting became quite a hit and conversation piece. I painted 2 other underwater paintings: Underwater Face;   Underwater Looking Up.
