An Ohio folk artist's affectionate recollection of his boyhood in the Appalachian foothills. Rix Mills Remembered presents 100 of the more than 500 paintings by this highly regarded folk artist. With nostalgic affection, Patton describes the scenes he painted, recalling on canvas the sorghum mill, the blacksmith shop, the school, the general store, the church, and the life he shared with his family in the 1920s and 1930s. The paintings and narratives in this collection will be a welcome celebration of the State of Ohio.
Paul W. Patton was a self-taught Ohio folk artist who painted from memory. His work is carried by galleries in Ohio and New York City and is owned by many private collectors. He was a World War II B-17 bomber pilot, a former educational television administrator in Indiana, and a retired elementary school principal in Bedford, Ohio. Prior to his death in 1999, he was affectionately known as ""Grandpa Moses"" for his charming paintings of rural Ohio.
