Item Description

Title & Artist:  "Another Tribute to J.O.J. Frost" – by D.L. Kaulbach

Medium & Size:  Acrylic on wood.  21 7/8" L x 8 5/8" H x 3/4" D.  For indoor display only.

Artist Statement:  John Orne Johnson Frost was born in Marblehead in 1852. At age 67, without any training as an artist, he set out to depict both history and memories of his hometown. Using board and house paint, his style is what is called naive. The Marblehead Historical Society has many of his paintings in their collection.

Artist Biography:  I have been a member of the Marblehead Arts Association since 1988, and for two years before that a member of the Swampscott Arts Association. I have been a docent at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, since 1992 and have exhibited frequently at the Marblehead Festival of Arts.

I graduated from a public high school that had a very strong art program, but did not paint seriously for a number of years; career and raising four children intervened. I started painting locally with Mary Field, a well-known watercolorist. I have done workshops with Don Stone in Monhegan, Maine, and with Jean Dobie in Vermont. I have taken courses at Montserrat College of Art, North Shore Community College, and Endicott College, as well as local workshops. This past year, I joined the Governor Wentworth Arts Council, based in Wolfeboro, NH, and participated in its exhibits. I also exhibited in Sanbornville, NH. I paint primarily with oils and watercolors, although in recent years I have worked with acrylics and pastels.

Hosting Business:  "Another Tribute to J.O.J. Frost" is on display at Bus Stop, 85 Washington St., Marblehead, MA.
