This painting features the iconic water tower of South Whitley, Indiana, rising quietly against a wide Midwestern sky. Soft washes of blue and green give the tower a weathered, lived-in presence, with rust marks and faded lettering hinting at decades of service and community life. Framed by drifting clouds and nearby trees, the structure stands as both a landmark and a symbol—steadfast, familiar, and deeply rooted in the town’s identity. The piece captures the calm pride of a small Indiana town, where everyday structures become quiet monuments to place and memory.
