VIEW IN MY ROOM
6th of 9 paintings in my history series about my family. We were part of an exodus from the coal mining area of Virginia. My grandpa is shown holding 2 B&W photos of labor leaders. The photo of the man is John L. Lewis, who helped organize the miners. We heard stories of Pinkertons and others breaking strikes by use of ax handles on miners. The photo of the woman is NOT the one in the original photo. I could not find her when I researched. I replaced her photo with another famous woman labor leader. Not shown is the union badge that my grandfather wore on his jacket. Note the contrast between the color and B&W sections of the painting. This was organic, not planned originally.

I welcome offers. Price includes delivery. For local collectors (Cincinnati, Ohio, USA), I can hand-deliver the item, if you like. My work uses texture and color. For oil paintings, the canvas is usually rough weave stretched over a frame hand-made by me. Application with putty & palette knives, and occasional brush work enhances texture. Colors are directly from the tube or with minimal mixing with other oil colors. None are casually made. All live in a space and most paintings take months/yrs to create. I studied drawing & painting under John Stewart, then painting under the mentorship of Frank Herrmann. Frank changed the way I thought about painting. Merlene Schain was an informal mentor, encouraging me. Born in a town (in Virginia) of 6 families, we moved to Cincinnati, Ohio when I was still in a stroller (see me in A Day in the Park). First memories include love of color. Raised by a single mom, I grew up with 1 sister (now deceased) and 1 brother, plus a bazillion relatives. Married to the best person ever for about 35 yrs, I have 4 children, each special of course. Family is the best part of my life.
