Fine Art-Eric Sloane

(2) Oil paintings by Eric Sloane 1905-1985 Museum quality

A bit of his history..."In his career as a painter, he produced over 15,000 works. His fascination with the sky and weather led to commissions to paint works for the U.S. Air Force and the production of a number of illustrated works on meteorology and weather forecasting. Sloane is even credited with creating the first televised weather reporting network by arranging for local farmers to call in reports to a New England broadcasting station. Sloane also had a great interest in New England folk culture, Colonial daily life, and Americana. He wrote and illustrated scores of books on Colonial-era tools, architecture, farming techniques, folklore, and rural wisdom. Every book included detailed illustrations, hand-lettered titles, and his characteristic folksy wit and observations. He developed an impressive collection of historic tools which became the nucleus of the collection in the Sloane-Stanley Tool Museum in Kent, Connecticut." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Sloane
