Chainsaw Massacre-SOLD

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…..

White House

A friend’s home in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Watercolor and pen & ink.

Family Home

This was my mother’s family home in Mount Washington, Pittsburgh, PA.  It is my usual mixed media of watercolor, ink and colored pencil. Unfortunately, this is a photo of one of the prints I made for family members, the colors are incredibly more vibrant and green in the original, which, I gave to my uncle as he was the only one still living in this home when I painted it,  but you get the idea.

Old School House, Laotto IN-SOLD

Old school house converted to a home in Laotto, Indiana. This painting was done plein air style, a friend lives here and she was kind enough to allow me to sit in her yard and do this piece.
