Monaco Bay,

Kalamazoo, Michigan.

During one of my Arts Festival shows that was in the middle of downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan on a main street, I met a man that was interested in a painting of his business.  After the show, we were taken on a tour of his Las Vegas Style nightclub, called Monaco Bay, which featured Dueling Pianos.  I was commissioned to paint the building, He later commissioned me to paint an apartment building, called The Prange Building.

The Nightclub was located at 300 E. Michigan Ave.  They have Dueling Pianos every Friday and Saturday night, with the dinner show at 7 pm.

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.

 

Amish Acres Round Barn Theatre

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 Shop,  Restaurant 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.
