"Country Matriarch, The Artist's Grandmother", Watercolor painted by Harry Richardson of his grandmother on her 75th birthday.
In 2011-2012, Harry was invited to exhibit this painting and three other watercolors in a very special show celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts in Hagerstown, Maryland.
The title of the show was " The Wyeth Family Of Artists And The Wyeth Influence." Many of the Wyeth works were loaned by the Pennsylvania Academy Of Fine Arts and many private collectors. On display until January 15, 2012 were works of art by N.C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, and his son Jamie, as well as other Wyeth family members and several regional artists like Harry who credit the Wyeths with influencing their own personal painting styles.
The Washington County Museum Of Fine Arts in Hagerstown is a nationally accredited museum with a fabulous art collection. Located overlooking a beautiful lake in the Hagerstown City Park, the museum admission has been free and open to the public since 1931.
