the artist. Illustration style painting by Indiana artist, Steve Haigh.
Background:
Found this lovely barn while cycling in Brown County, Indiana. What character! Luckily, I was able to come back later the same day to do a quick plein air study (see my Facebook post recording under Steve Haigh Fine Art where I painted this live). Needmore, Indiana is just a store and a couple of buildings near Lake Lemon. Legend has it, early settlers who lived here were always in need of food, thus the name. This painting is a studio piece based on the plein air study. Let me tell you, this piece really glows with rich reds, burnt

About the Artist:
Indiana painter, Steve Haigh
was born and raised in Toledo, OH, where from a very young age his love for the
outdoors was ignited. As a young boy, Steve was always outside exploring
the woods and meadows behind his house.
For as long as he can remember, he has been creating with his hands and
excelling at art. So much so that he was
honored as the top artist at his high school graduation. Steve is the proud owner of a 1972 Gibson SG that he still plays from time to time.
Now as passionate
outdoorsman and artist, you're just as likely to find Steve with a fly rod in
hand as you are a paintbrush, chasing trout, bass, and beautiful scenery around
Indiana or as far away as Montana. His
inspiration and passion for painting comes from his lifelong experiences in the
outdoors, his family, and his faith. " I feel God's pleasure when I
paint," says Steve. Steve donates his
profits to charities such as World Vision and Building Tomorrow.
Steve spends many of his
weekends painting "en plein air", meaning outdoors from life. "I try to get as much done as fast as
possible outside to capture true colors and the quickly changing light. Using reference photos, I refine back at the
studio," says Steve, "To capture the true essence of a scene". As a juried member of the Hamilton County Artists
Association and a member of Indiana Plein Air Painters Association, Steve has
won many awards for his work such as Honorable Mention at the Carmel On Canvas Plein Air Event, the People's
Choice Award at the TC Steele Plein Air Event, and the Figure Drawing Merit Award
at the Indianapolis Art Center, to name a few.
Steve's paintings can be
found in private collections throughout the United States. Here are just a few quotes from his many
happy eBay customers:

memories and even emotions". --Jack - State Senator, Florida
