After visits to the TC Steele home, ("The House of the Singing Winds") outside Nashville, Indiana, I decided to paint an impression of the living room inside the home. There have been so many wonderful paintings of the exterior including the gardens that I decided I wanted something different. One of TC Steele's most famous paintings is of his second wife Selma in her garden. It certainly is one of my favorites. For some reason, when I toured the house, I thought of Selma. Well, I didn't have her, but I did have her living room, preserved much as it was when she and TC shared their home in the early part of the 20th century. I'm sure she sat in one of those chairs and enjoyed a book or conversation with TC. The House of the Singing Winds, the grounds, gardens and the museum are a must see if you're in the Nashville, Indiana area. Be sure to take a peek inside the house. I did and this is what I found!
