"Country Store" was painted by Ohio folk artist Leuty McGuffey Manahan (1889 - 1977) in 1953. It is a framed 18" x 24" oil painting on artist board. Manahan has been compared to Anna Mary Robertson “Grandma” Moses (1860-1961), but beyond their contemporaneous lives and shared inspiration rooted in rural memory, the two artists and their works are quite different. Manahan filled her paintings with so many details that it typically takes multiple viewings to fully appreciate them all. When asked about being compared to Grandma Moses, Manahan said somewhat testily, “People like to compare me to Grandma Moses; I simply don’t have the broad brush strokes she used. We paint differently.” Prior to her death, Manahan's paintings were widely exhibited, including exhibitions in New York City and major Ohio universities. Following her death, the paintings were in a private collection until now.
