The nature of watercolor painting seems to lend itself to portraying old, weathered buildings in harmony with their natural settings. There is a beautiful simplicity in architecture created for utilitarian purpose whether it is an old barn or lighthouse. They were built to withstand the elements like sentinels watching the march of time. Jay likes to record their presence before they succumb to nature or man, and to share that special feeling and emotion that can be felt when light touches a scene in a magical way. Jay Benzing grew up not far from the ocean in New York as part of a family that considered art a part of everyday life. He found encouragement from his father who loved to oil paint and his High School art teacher who was also an accomplished Madison Avenue artist. Jay majored in art education at Morehead State then taught art in Boone Co., Ky for 30 years. Upon retirement Jay and his wife Wanda moved to South East Indiana to be closer to his subject matter…and the water. Jay is a member of the Madison Art Club and Gallery and the KY Watercolor Society. His watercolors are available at River House Studio […]

KYLE HOUSE The first hotel built on this site was known as the Kyle House. George Harrison Kyle took possession of the lot in 1853 from the International Order of Odd Fellows. He was an architect and builder and must have built the original hotel. It was destroyed by fire (date unknown) and was rebuilt by Thomas Delaney, who had bought the property in 1884. An impressive brick house, it then became known as “The Delaney House.” DELANEY HOUSE Delaney was an old Irishman. He came from Ireland as a hod carrier. “The hotel had an oil lamp in every room and had 22 regular boarders – the courthouse men, some school workers and lots of traveling men. They would display their goods in the sample room. There were lots of draymen who pulled wagons to and from the river. Storekeepers from all the country stores and from Ghent, Carrollton and Warsaw, Kentucky came to pick up goods.” PHOENIX HOTEL By 1898 the place was known as “The Phoenix Hotel,” because it had risen from the ashes. “There are thirty-two guest rooms, hot and cold water baths, is lighted by electricity and heated throughout by furnace. The culinary department and […]

Bonnie Peugeot has been painting since she was a little girl and feels that the act of painting is a sharing, an imparting of her soul to others through visual art. Her medium of choice is oil, but she is very versatile in her expression and also has a passion for mono-printing as well as chalk pastels on velvet paper. For Bonnie, it is the love of color that drives her passion to paint, “Color, to me, creates such mood and emotion which it then evokes from the viewer.” The majority of Bonnie’s paintings are traditional Flemish style with vague delineation of paintbrush strokes. She also has done a few impressionist style paintings and very unique acrylic abstract mixed media paintings. For Bonnie, it’s more about feeling free in her work and the color of having its own purity and expression. Throughout the early 1980’s, Bonnie was a regular exhibitor in the Madison Chautauqua Art Festival, and established her own art gallery in Madison from 1996 to 1998. Currently, Bonnie’s paintings are in collections at Oakland City University and England. Bonnie has a double major –in Art and in Education. She first attended Oakland City University for her undergraduate studies […]
