The scenes to be
found in rural and small-town Ohio provide the inspiration for the
watercolor paintings of artist Don Weisgarber. The varied seasons, the
lakes and landscapes, the Amish heritage, the centuries-old buildings,
and the friendly pace of life are all that are needed as subjects for
a lifetime of painting. The variety and uniqueness of the Ohio
landscape sometimes is best expressed in the spontaneity and freshness
of the watercolor medium. The artist grew up in rural Ohio, graduated
from Bowling Green State University with a degree in English
literature, and served three years in the U.S. Army. He was a fireman
for 22 years with the Massillon, Ohio, Fire Department, and it was
during that career that he began painting. He now paints full time. He
is currently affiliated with these Ohio galleries: Paint Valley Studio
(his home gallery) in Winesburg, Berlin Creek Gallery in Berlin,
Rochester Square Gallery in Navarre,
Carroll County Art Center
in Carrollton, and his prints can be found at numerous local shops.
His address is 10075 Justus Ave. SW, Beach City, Ohio 44608. Phone
