General Anthony Wayne, painted by Karen Moriarity

Thanks to Joe Taylor at A Beautiful City for pointing me to Karen Moriarity’s webpage. Karen is a local artist who paints very colorful and stop-you-in-your-tracks renderings of Fort Wayne landmarks (Foster Park, the Anthony Wayne statute, the Landing, etc.).

Foster Park, as painted by Karen Moriarity

As Joe says, “[Karen's] impressionistic works skillfully meld the landscape and cityscape into single artistic representations of our lives here.” Exactly. (You knew that’s what I meant with the stop-you-in-your-tracks verbiage, right?)

Let me put it this way: She’s talented, and her artwork is gorgeous. I hope to own one of her pieces one day!

Pond, by Moriarity: one of the many works I’d love to have on my wall!

John McGauley at A Beautiful City posted a panoramic photo (or, more accurately, series of photos all “stitched” together) of the Fort Wayne Skyline. It’s really beautiful.

Don’t take my word for it (or this scaled-down version of it)–check out John’s post and click on the photo above to see the larger size .jpg.

John and his co-authors Kevin Whaley and Joe Taylor have a neat site too; I recommend checking it out. I guarantee that you will learn something interesting about Fort Wayne and/or find a really outstanding photo of Fort Wayne and surrounding areas every time you visit.
