History of a Painting

The South Shore,

South Bend, Indiana.

 

Since I lived in South Bend, Indiana, I exhibited in shows in the area and wanted to capture some of the history of South Bend. The South Shore Line was very popular in earlier years, which ran from South Bend to Chicago.  The South Bend station was located downtown across from the LaSalle Hotel. The South Shore still runs, but no longer from downtown. I wanted to capture the end of the line, as the passengers exited the train.  It was raining so I could pick up reflections from the lights.  I even put a Studebaker in the background, since that was the main industry there, at the time. I hope you enjoyed your trip back in time.

I know a little about the South Shore line Larry, I used to live in South Shore in the 60's. Your art work is fantastic, thanks for sharing.

We did not have street cars in Southern California where I grew up, I have only seen them in San Francisco! Until now of course, we still have a line that runs from the South Bend Airport into Chicago.
