Mindszent, Szentes and the Great Plain/ Mindszent, Szentes es az Alfold

This photo was taken by my wife’s elementary school physical education teacher. The location is on the Great Plain not too far away from my wife’s hometown of Mindszent.
Here is a view towards the Saint Elizabeth Catholic Church from the levee that runs along the Tisza river. This is the church where we were married in April of 1999 which is when the photo for this painting was taken. 8″x10″
Here is quick study of Tisza Road which is where we ride our bikes on to go to the Tisza River from grandma’s house. 9″x11″
This painting is of a small, side street (which isn’t really a street) off of Klauzal Street in Szentes. I loved riding my bike past this bright yellow house. Some of these small houses in Szentes reminded me of small houses in the Caribbean.
Here is one of the most photographed views in Szentes which is now a painting. The Saint Anna Catholic Church is in the background along the Kurca which is a backwater of the Tisza. Somehow, the onion dome of the church doesn’t look right.
This painting is of a farmhouse on the way from Mindszent to Hodmezovasarhely.
