Provenance |
Purchased from the Hoosier Salon in 1971. The painting is of rural central Indiana. O'Dell did a thumbnail sketch, photographed the scene and then combined the two. Despite rules of composition to the contrary, he placed the tree in the center and attempted balance from that position. He was born in Decatur, Illinois in 1938, studied commercial art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and then worked as a layout artist there. He participated in exhibitions at the University of Illinois, Chicago, Decatur and Indianapolis. His works are included in many public and private collections. |
