A wonderful tribute to my Dad.

Ray Hendershot, born in Bangor, Pennsylvania in 1931, carried the essence of his home state into every brushstroke. From his studio in Pennsburg, he drew inspiration from the landscapes and textures of rural Pennsylvania—weathered barns, crumbling mills, stone fences, and the quiet endurance of farmland life. His art captured not just the appearance of these places and objects, but the soul of them: the stories told through peeling paint, worn wood, and fading light. Hendershot’s ability to find beauty in the ordinary and to preserve Pennsylvania’s rural heritage on canvas made him one of the most respected realist painters of his generation.

Beyond his canvases, Hendershot made a lasting mark on American art culture through his masterful use of watercolor and his dedication to elevating realism. A signature member of the American Watercolor Society, the National Watercolor Society, and the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, he earned national recognition and numerous awards for his craft. His works, such as Working Late, which captures the warmth and solitude of twilight labor, and Blue Moon, a haunting study of light and atmosphere, stand as testaments to his skill and vision. Through his paintings, Hendershot preserved the spirit of Pennsylvania’s past while contributing to the broader conversation of American art.

The print is available in two sizes on either paper or canvas. See our website www.stonerowpublishing.com and click on the Store tab.

"The American Indians called the January full moon Full Wolf Moon, named from wolf packs roaming in the dead of Winter. This is a time to protect loved ones, family, and clan. The moon is rising outside, but inside there is the sign of life indicated by the lit first-floor window and the wisps of smoke from the chimneys. As it is with my night scenes, I imagine myself being “nighted”, not knighted. I finished the painting by signing it “Sir Bradley Hendershot” in honor of my “nighthood”." Bradley Hendershot

The image shown is a practice study by Ray Hendershot for a remarque.

A remarque is a hand-drawn or painted image that an artist sometimes adds in the margin of a reproduction in order to make it unique. Here, Dad was experimenting.
