Dave Barnhouse – explore von Essen Galerie for the artist reproduction wall art prints. Whether it be wall prints or other art media you will find just what you are looking for.

The artist grew up in rural Ohio, and spent most of his childhood in the area’s one-room schoolhouse or playing outside with the farm animals.  He began showing signs of artistic ability at a very early age.   He found himself drawing old farm machinery and mechanical things that interested young boys.  He is a self taught artist working mainly with oils and focusing on Americana subjects.  His style is one of loose realism with a concentration on the illumination aspects of life around us.

His paintings have a warm touch of nostalgia.  He wants people to feel as if they are back home on a Friday evening and can actually feel the warmth of a cozy fire and smell the homemade bread and cookies coming from the oven.
