Decatur Poets To Collaborate With Barn Colony Artists

The Barn Colony Artists recently had a plein air contest in which they all painted a Decatur landmark or landscape. They met at the James Millikin Homestead on October 5th for a short demonstration from artist, Jessica Disbrow. Then they had a week to do their paintings.


On Friday, October 11, they met at the Madden Arts Center and Jessica judged them.

There were three winners:


1st Place - Barbara Dove

2nd Place - Betty Moser

3rd Place - George Virgil


There were seven paintings in total. Decatur Area Poets will now take one painting each, and let it inspire them to write a poem. At a later date, the Decatur Area Poets and the Barn Colony Artists will gather for an art show/poetry reading. Below are the paintings that will be on display during the poetry reading:



Barbara Dove (Two paintings of the Scovill Garden Pond - 1st one won 1st place)




Betty Moser - Beautiful Church Towers (2nd Place Winner)


George Virgil - The Powers Mansion (3rd Place Winner)



Betty Moser - Finding Lincoln Collage



Elizabeth Holder - N. Water Street Country School House



Mike Delaney - Pavillion in Fairview Park
