The Love of Nature
Through the Eyes of an Artist

SINGING WINDS
The highest aim of art is an interpretation rather than realism. Of course,
one must present truth, but the highest is interpretation.
–T.C. Steele
I always enjoy the rustic beauty of this picturesque landscape of T.C. Steele’s estate
and charming home, House of Singing Winds. I am always drawn in by the softly singing ‘glad you are here.’ The land whispers to me ancient stories of the Hoosier Group painters and reminds me of a visit during a past life. Walking the paths, smelling the warm sun hitting Selma’s fragrant flower gardens, and visualizing the past through this artist’s eyes. I am always moved by the expression of the Steeles’ philosophy of combining nature with daily life. I found enjoyment and inspiration in this painting, combining the lush coloration
with rather dramatic darks.

“For years I avoided painting in watercolors because I was too afraid of the medium, thinking I had to finish a painting in one sitting before it dried. Dale demystifies watercolors through demonstrations and guidance. Color palettes, layering, texturing and composition are part of every lesson. I simply could not have reached this level of success without Dale’s teaching.”
