JUROR
Hale Johnson has been an established oil landscapist for over four decades. His paintings are of the American Realist tradition, often likened to artist Andrew Wyeth and Eric Sloan.
From his rural home in western Massachusetts, Hale intentionally seeks locations for his work that evoke a strong emotional response. Concerned primarily with the history of the land, Hale’s compositions often feature weather beaten barns, boats, and well-used farm equipment
