Clyde Jones (NC, 1937-2025), Turtle Painting

Oil and found materials on wood, 2003, signed and dated to verso. 48 x 25 1/4 in. From the Estate of the Late Susan H. Ehringhaus, Chapel Hill, North Carolina Clyde Jones was a former mill worker and resident in Bynum, near the path of the Haw River through Chatham County, who made critters, as well as paintings of penguins, butterflies, elephants, and pandacows (his version of the Belted Galloways in residence at Fearrington Village), from 1982. In addition to welcoming any and all fans to see his creations at his home, the exuberantly-painted Critter Crossing on Bynum Hill Road, he also did a variety of demonstrations and benefit events for local organizations and charitable causes. In 2002, the Chatham Arts Council honored him as the first “Chatham County Cultural Treasure” and held the first Clydefest in his honor. His work can be found in various public and private collections such as the American Visionary Art Museum; Cameron Art Museum; Gregg Museum of Art and Design; North Carolina State University; Museum of International Folk Art; New Orleans Museum of Art; Saint James Place Folk Art Museum, Robersonville, NC. Good estate condition.
