Barndt Hill, Earlington PA, Pennsylvania Impressionist Winter Snow Landscape
By Walter Emerson Baum
Located in Doylestown, PA
"Barndt Hill, Earlington PA" is a 26" x 30" oil on canvas, regional, snowy winter landscape in Bucks County, by Pennsylvania Impressionist and New Hope School painter Walter Emerson Baum. The painting features a rural Bucks County scene of homes and a church in a small village in Pennsylvania.

Provenance: Estate of the Artist, Private Collection, Ottsville, Pennsylvania.
Walter Emerson Baum (Sellersville, Pennsylvania, 1884 - 1956) is the only New Hope Impressionists actually born in Bucks County. Widely celebrated for his Impressionist snow scenes in the tradition of Edward Redfield and Walter Schofield, his style was bold and painterly. Many of his canvases were painted using the plein-air style. Baum captured the now largely developed Pennsylvania countryside and farmland. He also depicted the charm of Main Street America as it once was. He was an extremely prolific painter and today his works are among the most sought-after paintings in the New Hope Impressionist School. Baum attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1905 to 1906. He was awarded over thirty prizes and awards from 1918 to 1957, including the Jennie Sesnan Gold Medal at the PAFA in 1925. Not only revered as a fine painter, Baum was a writer for the Sellersville Herald and the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, where he was an art editor and wrote hundreds of newspaper articles in his career. Baum was a major force in the Lehigh Valley...
