These artists spent 1998 and 1999 traveling throughout the state, each having different counties to depict. These paintings give us a glimpse of Indiana landscapes today, at the turn of the twenty-first century. The paintings are on exhibit at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis until April 22nd, 2000. After that they will be divided into smaller groupings for traveling exhibits throughout the state - making it possible for thousands more people to enjoy. Seeing the entire collection first-hand is an opportunity that should not be missed.
Every painting is remarkable.
For those who might not see the exhibit as a whole, an exquisite book with essays about each county is also available. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to Riley Children's Hospital. This fall the paintings will return to the Indiana State Museum, where a special gala auction will be held. Woodson's honors include 3 first place awards at the T.C. Steele Great Outdoor Paintoff, and Best Impressionist Oil at the 1998 Hoosier Salon Annual Show. His work is represented by Sigman's Gallery located in Broad Ripple and Honeysuckle Gallery located in Nashville.
