Another painting from down on the Farm.
Acrylic on canvas.
The Old Brick is what we called the house.
Built in 1848
The house is sited on the high point of the farm which was also close to the high point of the rail line between Indianapolis and Richmond Indiana.
The old steam engines were slowed by the grade and there was a hobo camp in a wooded area close to the tracks back in the day.
Mom remembers some of the wayward travelers coming by the farm for a meal.
The painting is a memory of mine from 1960s.
The Collie in the yard was named Lassie of course.
A fine dog.

Very nice indeed.
Grandpa worked the C&O line. He taught me to cook up Hobo beans when I was a teenager. Haven't made them in years. Good memory from your post!

Betty Lou is Going Out Tonight
Acrylic on Canvas

Farm lore:
The neighbors had brought in a Bull for their herd that Betty Lou one of the milk cows must have taken a real shine to.
Betty broke down the fence and escaped for a rendezvous with her paramour.
Betty was recovered without harm.

A friends dad ,

Captain John C Miller just clears the fence doing a hi speed low altitude pass over a British airfield in the first five minutes of the 1969 film Battle of Britain.

Captain Miller flew the A 26 and then the B 29 In World War II and Korea.

I took a little artistic license in depicting the plane as a Messerschmitt BF 109 E instead of the Spanish built Merlin powered Hispano Buchon HA 1112 replica 109 used in the movie.
