A.D. Greer Landscape Paintings

American, 1904-1998

Oklahoma-born artist A.D. Greer had a talent for filtering out the undesirable elements of his environment — pushing any ugliness or unpleasantness from his mind as he painted — to bring the beauty of the land to the forefront. His immersive paintings transport the viewer in an instant to a calm lakeshore or a quiet country road. 

Born Aubrey Dale Greer in Oklahoma City, the artist’s mother died when he was three. His family moved – by covered wagon — to Kansas where he grew up. Greer had a brief boxing career after graduating from St. John's Military Academy in Salina, but when the Great Depression brought the economy to a screeching halt, Greer took on whatever work he could get, including lumberjacking and setting spikes on the railroad.

Greer was able to supplement the income he earned as a laborer by doing decorative painting and murals on water towers, smokestacks and restaurant walls. He credited his artistic talents for keeping him flush throughout the greatest economic downturn in American history.

In 1934, Greer opened a studio in Oklahoma City where he painted stage curtains for theaters around the country. He painted with a realistic style that surpassed his counterparts in the business, and his curtains saw great demand. Hiring a group of traveling salesmen, Greer found modest success.

Greer continued to produce proper landscape paintings, and was eventually approached by his friend, American painter Leonard Woodruff, to allow the International Art Publishing Company of Detroit to publish two of his works for free. He agreed, and the works sold over a million copies. Greer saw no compensation for those sales, but his name and reputation spread all over the United States.

Greer continued to create vivid, beautiful landscapes and other types of paintings until he died in 1998.

“Kennebec” Ship Portrait Sidewheeler Steamboat Paddle Steamer Oil on Canvas
“Kennebec” Ship Portrait Sidewheeler Steamboat Paddle Steamer Oil on Canvas

“Kennebec” Ship Portrait Sidewheeler Steamboat Paddle Steamer Oil on Canvas

Located in Yardley, PA

A striking and historically attentive portrait of the sidewheel steamer Kennebec, built in 1842. Rendered in crisp profile against a soft, painterly sky and calm Atlantic swells, Cameron’s portrait captures the stately elegance of early American steam navigation. The Kennebec, identified in bold red lettering on her paddle box, is shown under partial sail with twin smokestacks active - suggesting both the hybrid nature of early steam propulsion and the vessel’s readiness for sea. Flying period flags, including a U.S. ensign and company pennants, she presents as a proud representative of the Sanford Steamship Line, for whom she plied the route between Boston, Bangor, and the summer resorts of Maine. Her design, with a wood hull, 230-foot length, and distinctive “hogging truss,” speaks to mid-19th century innovation tailored to coastwise packets. Cameron’s style is reminiscent of 19th-century ship portraiture yet refined with contemporary technical precision. This is an excellent example of his work. This work is oil on canvas and is signed in the lower right. It is housed in its original black frame and retains the artist’s description of the ship on the reverse. Size: 22 inches tall by 44 inches wide (painting) 26 inches tall by 48 inches wide by 1 inch deep (frame) Provenance: Private collection; Acquired from the above About the artist: A Delaware artist, Scott Cameron paints the simple elegance of the America’s Cup races, serene coastal marsh scenes, timeless landscape vistas and historic steamboats in a style reminiscent of the era in which they reigned. An admirer of Andrew Wyeth and the Brandywine School of painters, Scott has combined the detail and quiet stillness of that School in his landscapes with the Luminist School’s sense of light glowing from within. A soft gentle atmosphere seems to fall over each scene adding to the peacefulness of the setting, and a sense of a time gone by. His America’s Cup scenes capture the action at a moment in time, allowing the beauty of the wind-filled sails to become the central design element of each painting. Scott Cameron has exhibited his oil paintings in numerous national and regional shows from the Mystic Seaport Museum to solo and group shows in some of the foremost galleries throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Favorite painting locations are the waterways and coastal inlets of Martha’s Vineyard and Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the gentle rolling landscapes of rural Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Meticulous research is behind every historic steamboat and America’s Cup painting...

“Penobscot” Ship Portrait Sidewheeler Steamboat Paddle Steamer Oil on Canvas
“Penobscot” Ship Portrait Sidewheeler Steamboat Paddle Steamer Oil on Canvas

“Penobscot” Ship Portrait Sidewheeler Steamboat Paddle Steamer Oil on Canvas

Located in Yardley, PA

A wonderful realistic portrait of the Penobscot, a mid-19th century coastal sidewheel steamer, rendered in Cameron’s hallmark marine portrait style - technically meticulous, historically informed, and visually serene. Executed with crisp linework and a soft, luminous palette, the ship is shown in profile navigating calm Atlantic waters under both steam and sail, her red paddle box emblazoned boldly with her name. Commissioned in 1843 by Menemon Sanford’s Steamship Line and constructed in New York, the Penobscot was a near twin to her sister ship, the Kennebec, but became especially prized for her seaworthiness. Measuring 228 feet in length with a 48-foot beam and twin 14-foot paddlewheels, she carried schooner rigging fore and aft, providing the added stability necessary for coastal and offshore passages. Initially assigned to the Maine coastal excursion routes, she would later be reassigned to the elite New York–Philadelphia line and eventually sold and renamed Norfolk for pre-Civil War service along the southern coast. This work is oil on canvas and is signed in the lower right. It is housed in its original black frame and retains the artist’s description of the ship on the reverse.
