Project History
In the spring of 2001, Richard Canfield
and John Hoberg, along with Kaye Michele Darling, Debra Joyce
Dawson, Mark Gingerich, Tom Harbrecht, and Richard Otten, began
a project to paint historical scenes in each of Ohio’s 88
counties. We wanted to celebrate Ohio’s bicentennial, and
to support the Ohio Historical Society. The Society will receive
one half of net proceeds from the Land We Call Ohio project.
Oil paintings of historic scenes were created
for each of Ohio’s 88 counties (and were sold at auction
December 6, 2003.) Through Paint Ohio, LLC, two types of Limited
Edition art prints have been produced for each painting. Also,
Deborah Linville wrote histories of each of Ohio’s 88 counties,
which are included with prints of each painting in our book The
Land We Call Ohio. The prints and book, as well as frames, may
be purchased on this web site.
Ohio has spawned awe-inspiring heroes,
profound authors, great (and not-so-great) politicians, supreme
inventors, mighty businessmen, courageous women, top-billed stars,
unbeatable athletes, ethical movements, and reactionary groups.
Ohio developed from being “The Wild West” to the core
of industrial America. Ohioans Thomas Edison, Orville and Wilbur
Wright, Harvey Firestone, John D. Rockefeller, John Glenn, Neil
Armstrong and many others utterly changed the planet. Our project
celebrates all of them, and helps everyone “Discover Ohio,”
truly “the Heart of it All.”
Our desire has been to record some of the
beauty and history of our State. Ohio is a place where dreams
come true – that may be the most constant legacy our State
gives its citizens. The Land We Call Ohio is our dream come true!
