Description

With more counties than most other states, Missouri posed a unique challenge for Billyo O’Donnell: an out of doors painting on location en plein air for every of Missouri s 114 counties plus the town of St. Louis. Here are scenes both familiar and intimate: farmhouses and barns, Lover’s Leap in Hannibal, and the view of St. Louis from the roof of the Cathedral Basilica. Accompanying the paintings are essays by Karen Glines, who provides crucial historical details about the counties, from interesting facts about their foundings and names to the stories in the back of their courthouses. Additional comments by O’Donnell relate a few of his experiences even as creating the paintings. In Missouri, observes O’Donnell, I’ve found all that an artist needs, and beyond this, I’ve found an even deeper connection to put.
