Ora Coltman (American, 1858-1940)
House in Hudson, OH
Oil on canvas
Signed lower left
22 x 26 inches
27.5 x 31.5 inches, framed
21 Aurora Street is locally known as the Isham-Beebe House because the Isham family built the home and the Beebe family were long time occupants. It was built in 1832/33 by Leander Starr (1804-1885). Warren Isham (1798-1863) was the publisher of the "Hudson Observer and Telegraph," which had a circulation of 1400 in 1831. His son, Warren Parsons Isham (1831-1863), was born and raised in this home and went on to be the assistant editor of the "Chicago Times" and later was shipwrecked on Lake Superior. The Greek Revival structure has original timbers in the attic and original plaster over split lathe in some areas. The present entrance on Aurora Street was modified and not of the original construction. During the 1850s successful merchant and former Hudson Mayor, Anson Brewster (1807-1864) bought the property and gifted it to his daughter, Ellen Brewster Beebe (1836-1912) and son-in-law and Hudson Mayor, David Duncan Beebe (1831-1889) as a wedding gift. Christ Church Episcopal acquired the architectural gem during the 1940s.
Ora Coltman was born in 1858 in Shelby, Ohio, but spent most of his working artistic life in Cleveland, and is considered to be a Cleveland artist.
He was a painter, block printer, sculptor, muralist, architect, teacher, and writer.
In the 1880's Coltman came to Cleveland to study law, but abandoned that career to become an artist. He worked as a designer at the Joseph Carabelli Monument Works.
He Studied at the Cleveland School of Art (The Cleveland Institute of Art) with William Merritt Chase at the Art Students League in New York City, and at the Academie Julian in Paris.
Coltman's first solo exhibition was in 1902 at the Case Library. He exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1900, 1903, 1911, 1929, 1932. Additionally, at the Society of Independent Artists, and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia from 1925-32. He exhibited in annual Cleveland artists' and craftsmen's shows, in oil, watercolor and pastel. Also at the Copley Society in Boston, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington. His works were exhibited at the Cleveland Museum of Art in the May Show from 1922-1940.
After 1918 he began spending summers painting in Provincetown, Massachusetts. His best friend was George Adomeit, and they often painted together in the environs of Cleveland and in Provincetown as well. Coltman was famous in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, where he had a studio. Coltman Road was named for him.
He was a member of the Cleveland Society of Artists and Cleveland Printmakers.
His works are exhibited at the Cleveland Museum of Art, The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.
He created a full size wall mural for the Cleveland Public Library entitled "Dominance of the City."
"Coltman produced Dominance of the City between 1933 and 1934. It was the first New Deal mural commissioned in Cleveland. The New Deal was a federal program under the direction of the Treasury Department. The first program put into effect under the New Deal was the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP), and it ran from December 1933 to June 1934. The purpose of PWAP was to employ struggling artists to create art scenes of American life for public and government buildings. Coltman’s contribution was Dominance of the City, a mural triptych. A triptych is comprised of three separate and distinct panels. In this work, each section depicts a specific area of Cleveland. The largest part, the middle segment, displays a bridge rising over the Cuyahoga River in the Flats. The left portion is a painting of the Ohio Bell building, and the right panel portrays the St. Theodosius Church, which can be found in the Tremont neighborhood. It is a beautiful and thoughtful piece of art which came from a talented and unique artist in a resilient city full of treasures and possibilities.
Dominance of the City can be found at the Cleveland Public Library Main Branch on the 3rd Floor in the CD Room.”

Historical Home Russellville Kentucky 1930

Mid-century Southern landscape of the historical Home possibly of the Artist and built by the Kentucky Governor John Breathitt for his daughter Jane (some historical accounts say) and later the McClean family lived there, in Russellville, Kentucky by Roberta Fisk McClean (American, 1882-1975). As we get the information confirmed we will update the description. Roberta painted numerous versions of the house and one example called it the Bowden House. There is a House that looks similar on E5th in Russellville called Governors Corner, but many look like the same structure of the time.

"Cottage in Lahaska"
By Joseph Barrett
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Illustrated in "Joseph Barrett, The Prime Years 1970s - 1990s", pg. 10 #011
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by:
Joseph Barrett (1936 – )
Joseph Barrett was born in Midland, North Carolina, in 1936 and studied at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Barrett, now of Lahaska, Pennsylvania, has been painting his entire adult life. His favorite subjects include the landscape surrounding New Hope and many local landmarks often encompassing figures into his compositions. Barrett utilizes a heavy impasto and his palette bears similarities to that of Fern Coppedge and George Sotter. Barrett’s paintings are always found in unique and somewhat charming handmade frames designed by the artist and finished in metal leaf.
A living contemporary of the no longer living “New Hope School” impressionist painters, Joseph Barrett resides outside of New Hope above his old-fashioned antique shop and studio. Entering Barrett’s shop is like taking a step back in time. Inside this cluttered and dusty haven of treasures from the past, is a studio spanning only four by eight feet. This little studio, containing cans of old brushes and hundreds of used paint tubes...
