Don Weisgarber

Watercolor Artist

 The scenes to be found in rural and small-town Ohio provide the inspiration for the watercolor paintings of artist Don Weisgarber. From detailed pieces featuring our own Historic Downtown Millersburg to an amusing closeup of a very contented amphibian titled only “Toad” and everything in between, Don’s work always delights viewers- young and older alike.

Artist Statement: The varied seasons, the lakes and landscapes, the Amish heritage, the centuries-old buildings, and the friendly pace of life are all that is needed as subjects for a lifetime of painting. The variety and uniqueness of Ohio landscape sometimes is best expressed in the spontaneity and freshness of the watercolor medium.

I grew up in rural Ohio, graduated from Bowling Green University with a degree in Biology and English Literature, and served 3 years in the U.S. Army. I was a fireman for 22 years with the Massillon, Ohio Fire Department, and it was during that career that I began painting. I now paint full time.
