Life gets in the way

Very little progress; hope to spend a longer amount of time on this one over the weekend.

You can see photos of this historic resort on my West Baden page. For more Daveland art, visit my main website.

West Baden Springs Hotel

I used a vintage black and white shot of the West Baden Springs Hotel to help me do this painting. I was volunteering as a tour guide during the restoration of this hidden Indiana gem, which has just reopened for business. The recent opening black-tie gala was a smashing success, and the ol’ gal probably looks better today than she did over 100 years ago when she first opened. One of these days I hope to tackle the huge painting of the atrium that I sketched out almost 10 years ago!
