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.

While exhibiting at the Mountain State Arts and Crafts Festival, in Ripley, West Virginia, a man stopped and asked me about painting the home he grew up in. Since I had done this plenty times before, I told him what was needed to complete the painting. He asked if I would be interested in bartering instead of payment in cash. After finding out that he was a dentist, we decided that I would have some work done every year I returned to the area.
The painting had his whole family outside the home along with the bicycles they had when growing up. I ended up painting another one later of his mother’s homestead for a Christmas present. Here’s the other painting in Kenna, West Virginia.
Oh, by the way, I had my teeth cleaned and whitened, a root canal and a crown, as well a filling. Even Evelyn had her teeth cleaned and whitened. I don’t remember if she had other dental work done, but we didn’t have any insurance at the time, so that was a blessing.
