“The Broken Swing”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Although I spent\u00a0many years traveling around the country with my work and painting many\u00a0landmarks that only the locals would appreciate, I also did several local Indiana shows. One of them, being Amish Acres, in Nappanee, Indiana.\u00a0 I exhibited there 30 times since 1976, receiving many awards and watching the festival grow from the apple orchard, (When I started) to the huge festival it has become today. \u00a0I did several paintings from this area.<\/p>\r\n

One of them was Weldy School, an Amish School that was located just west of the town.\u00a0 I was also fascinated in the school yard with the playground equipment they had. I\u00a0painted the old brick school building, since then been demolished and replaced with a new school.\u00a0 They had a hand water pump outside\u00a0the school which I also painted.<\/p>\r\n

The broken swing gained plenty of interest as\u00a0it tells a subtle story, with the stubby yellow pencil nestled in the grass and the swing hanging by just one chain.<\/p>\r\n
