George W. McCullough's Artwork

A collection of six George McCullough landscape paintings from around Fort Wayne, Indiana We acquired these six paintings by artist George W. McCullough in the 1990s, captivated by their depiction of Fort Wayne and its surrounding areas. These impressionistic landscapes, skillfully crafted by George, showcase vibrant colors and masterful use of light. We cherish displaying them in our home.  - Joel and Denise Harter Friemann Square: Cass Street Depot: City Light:   View from the SS Mermaid:   Vesey Park: Hollopeter Road:  

  "The Red Door" by George W. McCullough.   Oil on canvas , 48 x 62" Signed and dated 1996.    The "Red Door" painting by George W McCullough serves as the striking centerpiece of our living room, prominently displayed above the fireplace. This vibrant, semi abstract artwork features bold brushstrokes and a rich color palette. It portrays a man in a blue outfit standing on a porch staircase, gazing at a vivid red door or window frame that captures the viewer's attention. The composition is dynamic, with expressive strokes of blue, green, yellow, and red blending seamlessly to create depth and movement. Each time I view it, I am astounded by how George McCullough masterfully uses color to evoke a sense of space and depth in the painting. - CC Burke

"Johnny Appleseed Park by the St Joe River" by George W McCullough Over 40 years ago on warm summer day George McCullough, my teacher and mentor, called me to go out and paint. We decided to go nearby to Johnny Appleseed park by the St Joe river. George painted a wonderful painting that expressed much praise to him. He painted it so effortlessly.   In October I got married and George gave the painting to me as a wedding present. It's been hanging in my house proudly ever since. - Tom Kelly

  "The Doctors" by George W. McCullough.   Oil on canvas, 36 x 24" Signed and dated 1948.   When I purchased this painting, Sue McCullough, George's wife, mentioned that "The Doctors" was always one of their favorite pieces. George painted it at the age of 25 while living in California, three years after his discharge from the United States Air Corps. In my interpretation, the painting depicts five doctors seated around a table, seemingly engaged in a discussion about a recent surgery. The composition is notable, with the doctors positioned on the left side of the canvas. The table, painted in green, appears to float, reminiscent of Degas’s painting "In a café (The absinthe drinker". Contributing to a surreal feel. Additionally, the nine chairs with their straight spindle lines enhance this dreamlike feeling, giving the artwork a unique visual rhythm. - Matt Kelly
