About The Artwork

This painting is a depiction of Patrick Donmoyer repainting a Hex Sign on a barn at the Kutztown Cultural Center. He was important to include in the Heemetkunscht Series as he is one of very few young people who have given their life to preserving the language and culture of the Pennsylvania Germans. He is an expert at the restoration of Hex Signs which have long since worn from view. I believe that without people like Patrick, the visual landscape of the PA "Dutch Country" would have become indiscernible from neighboring agricultural areas within a generation. Text within the painting: Duh des dos du liebscht

Shipping & Returns

Delivery Time:Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.

I am a self-taught oil painter who has developed over a decade or so a style which incorporates the Pennsylvania German language, traditional motifs such as Hex Signs and Fraktur, and mosaic or stained glass-like elements which together create what I call "Heemetkunscht", or Art of my Home. Each painting has a message to the viewer written out in the PA German dialect, which is most often arranged in a way that the words blend into the composition and may not even be noticed by the viewer. I want to create decorative, colorful and peaceful paintings which carry a deep meaning on a personal level for some, and for others they can be viewed, as the PA Germans would say, 'Chust for Nice.
