Howard's Hills Products
The most profound landscapes are those inextricably bound to our roots, carrying the invisible weight of memory and bloodline. The Howard's Hills collection features museum-grade archival reproductions of Ben Young’s deeply personal regional masterwork—a core anchor of his Shades of Olson and Back In The Light portfolios. Painted as a solemn tribute to his grandfather and the enduring Appalachian legacy, the piece captures a quiet, contemplative scene: the artist’s elderly father navigating a worn dirt path across the rolling, golden-brown hills of the family farm in rural Ohio beneath a muted, late-autumn winter sky.
A deliberate masterclass in American regionalism and atmospheric realism, Howard's Hills was heavily influenced by the stark, melancholic brilliance of Andrew Wyeth. To achieve its intricate depth, Young utilized precise masking techniques and layered thousands of microscopic brushstrokes, balancing sweeping fluid washes with sharp, technical dry-brushing on the skeletal winter trees and weathered white farmhouse. This collection is curated exclusively for the discerning collector who seeks art that honors the passage of time, the quiet strength of family lineage, and the tranquil solitude of the American countryside.
