Before the Show

14 x 11

Oil on canvas

Another painting that came out of our time in New Harmony. I mentioned the weather wasn't optimal most of the time, but the day I took this photo was the exception. We arrived on a beautiful day in the afternoon shortly before a ceremony and exhibit at the Hoosier Gallery. People were gathering and greeting each other, waiting for the show to begin when I snapped this pic of these lovely ladies. They just had to be painted. I don't think I'm the only one who took advantage of these unwitting models.
