Earle N. Scherm Art

American, 1899-1958
Earle N. Scherm (American, 1899-1959) Western New York painter and illustrator known for his oil paintings of landscapes, seascapes, harbor and waterfront scenes, executed throughout the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Haiti. Scherm was born in 1899 in Buffalo, NY, to Peter J. Scherm (1868-1934) and Emma M. (née Fries, 1873-1967). His general education was in the Buffalo schools, and he later studied art at the Buffalo School of Fine Arts under noted painter and sculptor Florence Julia Bach (American, 1887-1979). He furthered his art studies privately with other artists in Buffalo and also Florida. Earle made Buffalo his permanent home and he worked in the banking industry for thirty-eight years for the Marine Trust Co., where he retired in 1953. Earle maintained his residence and studio at 140 Harvard Place and was a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists, exhibiting in their annual exhibitions. In regard to his paintings, Earle once stated at his 1957 solo show at the Marine Trust Co. Tribute Show: “I just like to show a mood which one can enjoy. I like fog, storm and sun, especially in seascapes. I seldom use figures, because I don’t think they help a picture. As a rule I am not trying to tell a story. A painting is to me like a window from which we can look out and see something beautiful.”[1]

Plein Air Creekside by Lu Haskew Oil 8x9" image size Landscape Painting This painting is unframed, canvas on gator board, the price reflects that it is unframed. ​ ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...
