Murder at the Distillery
In this painting I delve into the ruins of the historic Old Crow Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. It stands as a haunting, moss-draped monument with nature slowly reclaiming the birthplace of modern bourbon chemistry. The ruins are located on the Glenns Creek Distillery site, a fabulous craft distillery steeped in bourbon history and knowledge. They did offer tours of the ruins a couple times a year which is where I had the opportunity to snap the photos I used as reference for this painting. I have added five crows, a group of crows is called a murder, thus the title.

I am a self taught artist from northwest Ohio. I started painting at an early age then diverged into wood carving. Blood thinners directed me back to acrylic painting and I have focused on it for many years. I have a small upstairs studio closely supervised by our two cats on the little 3 acre farm my wife and I own. After many trips to Kentucky’s bourbon spots I have a love of bourbon history and culture and try to capture it in each painting.
All prints are giclée museum quality prints with special fade resistant ink on acid free materials. They have the highest resolution for the most accurate reproduction of the original painting.
