Rural Realistic Paintings Of Hancock County, Ohio

I’ve had a fulfilling 60-year career as a designer and artist, including 20 years with Marathon Oil Company, and while my passion for painting remains as strong as ever, my need to make a living from it has faded. I truly cherish the hours I spend at my “bliss”, and when others appreciate my artwork, it feels like the perfect “frosting on the cake.”

My subjects range from detailed studies of nature and man-made objects to serene landscapes featuring farmsteads, barns, fence rows, and wood lots all inspired by the rural area I’ve called home for my entire 82 years. My watercolors of solitude lean toward mild impressionism, characterized by peaceful and quiet scenes, soft brush strokes, and muted colors. I focus on capturing the beauty of sights that many people pass by without noticing and experiencing their beauty.

I humbly gift framed 18×12 prints as random acts of kindness to residents of the county, along with donations to special causes that support Hancock County.
