Cahoon Barn looking at the south side. Brush in front of it.
The Bay Village Historical Society is offering limited-edition prints of the Cahoon family barn, built in 1882 and now Bay Village’s Community House.
The artwork was created by world reknown artist Thomas William Jones, a 1960 graduate of Bay High School. Jones graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art. His work has been included in many exhibitions, including the National Academy of Design, Butler Institute of American Art, Seattle’s Frye Art Museum, as well as private and corporate collections worldwide.
Jones’ reputation and mastery in watercolor has earned him acclaim at the highest levels, including the White House, where he was commissioned by former President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan to paint their 1985 through 1988 Christmas cards.
Only 295 signed and numbered prints were offered, and most have been purchased; a few remain. The image is 12 1/2" by 16 1/2"; the overall size is 18" by 22". They are printed on archival paper using 12 separate ink colors. Prints are packed with foam board backing in a sealed, clear bag.
These limited-edition prints are only $85.00 each.
