In particluar, Mr. Barnhouse will talk about his painting "A Capital Night in Wheeling." Mr. Barnhouse says the painting depicts, “...A Saturday night at the jamboree. The streets, shops, and restaurants on 10th and Main are filled with happy people waiting to enter the Capital Music Hall . One of their favorites, Doc & Chickie Williams and the Border Riders will be filling the air with melodious tunes of country music. What a great night of entertainment at the crown jewel of Wheeling , W.Va. ” The painting has been made into a limited edition print.
Dave Barnhouse is a self-described "country boy" from Richmond , Ohio who grew up in small towns and has no intention of leaving their environs either physically or emotionally. "I want my art to make people feel as if thay were back home on a Friday evening, so thay can experience the warmth of a cozy fire and smell the homemade bread and cookies coming from the oven," he says.As soon as he could hold a pencil, the artist started expressing his artistic talents. One of his first drawings was a threshing machine on his grandfather's farm in Ohio . "He drew all the little details," remembers his mother, who encouraged her son to pursue his art.Currently, Barnhouse has settled into the Americana genre, constantly working with illumination and adding a nostalgic touch to make viewers feel they are actually present and a part of the painting.

He was included in InformArt's "Top 10 Hottest New Artists" in 1995 and moved into number three position in 1996.
