Old Mill at Fowler Park

 

What a treat it is to paint in the pioneer village by Fowler Park! Mills and covered bridges are absolute favs to paint, and this is the first time that I've been able to paint in the pioneer village.  Surrounded by log cabins and other structures, it took me a second to choose this place.  The trees are already blushing with fall color here, so, of course, I pushed that a little.  Using my Artistic License is fun, indeed!  Painting number 5167 in 5167 days. 

Irishman Covered Bridge

 

I LOVE painting the covered bridges in Indiana - especially in such gorgeous weather!  Joining me today is my Mom, and artist friend, Teddy Jackson.  She is responsible for twisting my arm into plein air painting, all those years ago!  We're heading to a favorite event, and will be painting a few lovely bridges on the way.  It's so nice to paint for the joy of painting, in places like this.  Painting number 5160 in 5160 days. 

Irishman Covered Bridge

I just can't drive close to a covered bridge without painting it, so I headed over when I got the chance! The Irishman covered bridge connects the pioneer village to Fowler Park, and is well maintained.  Many were enjoying this place, visiting, fishing, walking and camping - much more activity than during Covid.  Mom and I first visited here while dropping artwork off at galleries two years ago.  With only a little time, I painted small and then took a speed walk on the path through the cottage. I found several places that would make perfect paintings, but alas, I'm out of time. LOVE painting the covered bridges of Indiana!!
