Titled so, because a friend and I thought this was the type of place where that kind of horrific tragedy might have occurred. We were only more convinced of our sick, twisted ideas of this old northern Indiana farmhouse, when the grinding roar of a vacuum started up inside the house, at least we told ourselves it was just a vacuum! Ha…..certainly added good memories of painting this landscape, as we laughed quite hard at our crazy story. This was done plein style from the end of the driveway, per the permission from the old lady that dwelled within. It is watercolor, pen and ink and colored pencil. I love the old barn in this scene, but it has since completely fell to the ground leaving nothing but old wooden boards and debris…..Good times…..

Very nice watercolor. I’ll take the weather and the apples from this painting.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment. I actually brightened up the weather on this one to be much more green and summer-like than it actually was, glad you like it….
Yay!……a post. I still have my picture that I drew that day out there. There is no way I would part with it just because of the good memories that day. …and, yes, this place definitely reminded me of the house in the Cahinsaw Massacre movie.
Your painting is so much more colorful than mine was and really brought out the beauty of the surroundings.
Thanks Leslie, yes, still sorry I sold mine, I actually tried to buy it back! But the new owner would not part with it, darn it, she did however, allow me to put in the art show going on in Garrett now, so that was cool. That was a fun day.
