Good morning! It's a rainy Friday, but our weekend looks bright. We will see both of our children and their spouses , our grandson, plus a visit from my wife's sister and son. Busy! Talking about busy , today's painting is one of two paintings that I created for Hocking College. It depicts the small, southeastern Ohio community of Nelsonville. I am known for "rearranging" community landmarks. I have elected to show the downtown area with its active Opera House. This small community has become an art haven. It has many art galleries, art walks , festivals and theatrical performances. It is also home to Rocky Boots. The train station, volunteer run, is quite impressive. Parts of the college and other historical pieces of the community complete this work. In the summer a train will take you to a small community of log homes with artisans.and in the winter there is a ride with Santa. Nelsonville, Ohio is certainly a small community worth visiting. I had fun doing this and met many nice people from the area. Meeting nice people seems to go with being an artist. I am sure that we all count as a blessing those nice people who play a role in our lives. Be safe!
