Purchased by Tri-Kappa in 1954 from the Hoosier Salon. You are drawn to this painting by a feeling of nostalgia… this could so easily be your grandfather's cornfield, where you loved to play so many years ago … good sturdy Indiana corn stalks in the foreground, a slight white of snow, dust falling and the reassuring old red barn and farm house in the background …you will stand and gaze at it, lost in dreams… Native Hoosier born in Richmond in 1904… throughout his school years was interested in art, but had no intention of becoming an artist … in 1940 he seriously took up his work in Fine Arts … his paintings have been shown in all major Indiana exhibitions as well as in galleries from New York to Florida in the area east of the Mississippi ...
