Historic Site. Their mission was to capture the feel of the House of the Singing Winds as it was during the 1920s.
Mundy painted the gardens, landscapes, and historic buildings. During this time, still life and portrait painter, Spalding, captured the domestic life of the Steeles’ home with her brush. Spalding is the first artist to paint within the walls of The House of the Singing Winds since the death of Steele.
Mundy and Spalding spent time researching archives, studying old photographs, and conversing with museum curators. The collection presents an authentic picture of life from a century ago. Works by T. C. Steele will also be on display for the showcase.
The artists’ works will be offered for sale and with a portion of proceeds to benefit the Brown County Art Gallery Foundation.
T. C. Steele’ s passion for his artistic career is represented by his body of work in museums, libraries, public buildings, and personal collections. Due to the dedication of Selma Steele, her husband’ s legacy is preserved for generations at the T. C. Steele Historic Site, 4220 T. C. Steele Road, Nashville( Belmont).
Lyn Letsinger-Miller, Brown County Art Gallery Foundation President and author of The Artists of Brown County, gives Selma Steele a voice in the one-act play,“ Selma and the Painter.” The play’ s setting is the 1940s— coming out of the Great Depression, but with ominous clouds of war ahead. Selma is determined to preserve the legacy of her husband. Much of the dialogue was taken from Selma’ s memoir, The House of the Singing Winds. Selma is played by Broadway and television actress Jill Tasker.
