History of a Painting - Weldy School,
Nappanee, Indiana
Acrylic Painting by Larry Johnston©
The Amish School, located just west of Nappanee, Indiana was just a small school with a couple of rooms for teaching and learning. The old brick school with the steeple bell that used to ring, calling the children to school and after recess in the school yard, which had a lots of play equipment for the students to play on.
The school has been replaced by a newer school that could accommodate more students, but not before I was able to take pictures of the school and it's outdoor equipment and, or course the old hand pump that supplied the water for the school.
I later painted one of the broken swings that had one swing too many.
