Steele, during his\u00a0last period, which he spent in Brown County.\u00a0By the end of 1907, Steele and his second wife, Selma Neubacher, moved to their new house in the hills of Brown County. He and Selma spent their later years in this home\u00a0they designed together and continued painting\u00a0using the nearby landscapes as inspiration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although most of Steele\u2019s works are landscapes and portraits, still life remained an optimal choice for his recreation during days with bad weather. According to Selma, Theodore Clement\u00a0would paint still lifes when the common summer storms in the hills shook the house. This still life also indicates Steele&#8217;s personal interests. Steele collected American ceramics as a hobby during his later life. The blue jar at the center of this painting is part of his collection and is still displayed in his house today. And the red fruit is probably a pomegranate from the nearby woods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Click the links below for more information about this\u00a0painting\u00a0and artist:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/elstoncollection\/art-collection\/j-otis-adams-still-life-1867-1868-oil-on-canvas\/pomegranates-in-indiana\/\">Pomegranates in Indiana<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/elstoncollection\/house-of-the-singing-winds\/\">House of the Singing Winds in Brown County<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/elstoncollection\/the-donor-john-collett\/\">The Donor, John Collett\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1MNwus5OOD8\" target=\"_blank\">Video introducing the House of the Singing Winds<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tcsteele.org\" target=\"_blank\">T.
