Water Color Paintings

Edward Glannon began experimenting with watercolor in his late forties.  He came to love the medium, and over the succeeding years he painted watercolors depicting all aspects of the American landscape.

Oil Paintings

Edward Glannon painted oils from the beginning of his career.  He cared deeply about the craft of oil painting.  He ground his own colors, painted on panels he built himself, and constructed and carved frames to match individual paintings.  His oils reflect his reverence for the American land – and the skies above it. 

Lithographs

Edward Glannon took up lithography in his sixties.  He bought a press, and etched and printed all editions himself in his studio.  His lithographs, like his oils and watercolors, depict all areas of the country and reflect his enduring reverence for the American landscape.  Glannon's lithographs may be purchased through The Old Print Shop, Lexington Avenue, New York.  They may be viewed on the Old Print Shop's website, Click here to review Lithographs

Portrait of a Young Painter, 1938

Alexander Brook (United States, 1898-1980)

In the 1930's, Alexander Brook was commissioned to paint a portrait of a budding actress, Katherine Hepburn. Edward Glannon was Brook's apprentice. The day before doing the Hepburn portrait, Brook asked Glannon to pose, and painted this portrait, called Portrait of a Young Painter. Brook willed the painting to Glannon. It is now in the collection of the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art. The Hepburn portrait (which makes a cameo appearance in her movie, Woman of the Year) was stolen in the 1960's and has never resurfaced.
