About the Artist: Dave became a full-time artist after a long career as an electrician in a steel mill, where art was never far from his thoughts. As soon as he could hold a pencil, the artist started expressing his artistic talents. One of his first drawings was a threshing machine on his grandfather's farm in Ohio. "He drew all the little details," remembers his mother, who encouraged her son to pursue his art. Dave Barnhouse recreates the best of times in his definition of rural and small-town America. His paintings are snap shots of life the way he remembers it from the 1950's and 60's. Today he paints full time in his studio, which is part of the Ohio home that he shares with his wife, Marie.
