I was born and raised in the Heart of the Midwest and whole heartedly chose to remain and raise my children here. I capture - the unadorned, the gentle life of the Amish community, strong Midwestern architectural landmarks. It is my hope that you enjoy the feeling of the Midwest as I present it to you "straight from the heart".

The old Coca-Cola Sign
This was a demonstration piece I did for my students at the Elkhart Art League.
I have a friend who has the actual sign in his shop, it makes great reference for
art pieces, although, his is in much better condition. I like things that are rustic
in nature, kinda like the artist doing the art. So I aged the sign.
The piece is 15 3/4" x 11 1/2". It is a pen and ink with watercolor. The piece is
on 140 lb. D'Arches bright white hot press watercolor paper.
This piece is available for purchase. For inquiries email at: scottlhendrie@gmail.com.
The Last Golden Delicious
We had two Dwarf Golden Delicious trees in our backyard. The squirrels
used to steal all the apples. So I took the very last branch off one of the
trees to eat. In the process, I decided do a piece of art of the apple.
That first piece hangs in a very good friend's kitchen. I repainted it because
I really like the feeling for the composition.
I wanted to foil the squirrels appetite. I did eat the apple and it was
delicious.
This piece will be available for purchase on Ebay. The piece is 11" x 17".
The art is on 140 lb. D'Arches bright white hot press watercolor paper.
It is pen and ink with watercolor. Inquires to: scottlhendrie@gmail.com
