Author/painter to visit Sidney
Kroeger
SIDNEY – When Robert Kroeger, of Cincinnati, took up painting in 2010 after retiring from his career as a dentist, he had no idea that his work would become the basis of a book that chronicles a disappearing aspect of rural life.
That book, “Historic Barns of Ohio,” which was published by Arcadia Publishing in March, features paintings Kroeger has made of old barns in each of the state’s 88 counties and essays he wrote about each structure’s history.
Kroeger will exhibit his original paintings and conduct a book signing at the Cameo Theatre, 304 S. West Ave., April 24, at 10 a.m. Admission is free.
