T.C. Steele

Lily pond
Juliette loves to be in the Kelty
Hiking on the trail of wildflowers...unfortunately we missed the peak season and there were only a few. Allie's expression is so funny in this!
Walking around the beautiful grounds.
We took a tour of his house and at the end we were able to see T.C. Steele's studio with a wide range of his paintings and could see his brushes, desk and squeezed out tubes of paint. The girls were able to do a few drawings of their own.
T.C. Steele is a famous American Impressionist painter born in the mid 19th century in Indiana. He settled in Brown county (near Bloomington where the IU campus is located) where he painted many famous Indiana landscapes. We visited this historical site on May 6th.
