Eastern Shore Post
By Carol Vaughn —
The Eastern Shore lost one of its most renowned and beloved artists Monday when Tangier native Willie Crockett died at age 82 after a brief illness.
Crockett was perhaps best known for his watercolor paintings of Shore landscapes, in particular of the Chesapeake Bay and the salt marshes where he grew up hunting and fishing.
More recently, he had been working in oils and acrylics as well.
Crockett for years could be found nearly every day at his studio and art gallery on Market Street in Onancock.
In addition to his art, Crockett was known for his storytelling and his recitations of his original poetry and classic works by Shakespeare, Robert Frost, and other authors, which he did from memory.
