William "Bill" Patton Brown, born in 1904 in Clearfield, PA. After attending design school in New Yourk City, he moved to Florida joining the Ringling Brothers Circus. The famous circus capitalized on Brown's talent by sending him to an art illustration school. He continued work for Ringling Brothers until the late 1930s. Bill moved home to Clearfield where he continued painting for the joy of art as well as advertising work for local businesses. William Patton Brown died in 1980.
These watercolor paintings, that the Clearfield County Historical Society is privileged to preserve, are of particular, esthetic beauty. We have deemed them the "INDUSTRIAL SERIES" due to the subject of local coal, brick and other industries from the 1930s.
The Historical Society was guaranteed a limited quantity of only 100 each of these high quality, digital prints from this series by Brown. Each print is numbered and comes with a certificate.
