When Jerry DeWitt paints a barn, there's a bit of the gentle
clanging of cowbells mixing in with the watercolors.
That sound echoes back to his grandfather's Depression-era
farm at the end of a lane in Bedford County, Pa.
He was just 2 years old when his father left home for good
and the youngster was uprooted from Lansing, Mich., to live with his
grandparents.
And in between trips to the pasture to the hand-dug well for
another bucket of water, or out to the shed for an arm load of firewood, the
sights and sounds and smells of farm life wrapped themselves around Jerry's
memory, eventually finding their way to paint and paper more than 30 years
later.
Many of those works will be displayed in the show,
"Carroll County Farm Heritage: Paintings by Jerry DeWitt," opening
Sunday, March 18, at Carroll Community College, 1601 Washington Road,
Westminster, with a reception from 2 to 4 p. m… http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-03-17/explore/ph-ce-dewitt-and-wisdom-0318-20120317_1_oil-painting-smallwood-farm-life
