"Working at the Mill"

mill # 8

These beautiful relics of an earlier manufacturing era in New England are more than just illustrations of a bygone economy; they are reminders of a way of life chosen by generations of immigrants who depended on this employment to keep their families intact, and of the labor which built entire societies and institutions in a developing region. Their crumbling edifices, massive widows and intricate architectural details are frozen in time by the pastel mastery of Michael Ramseur, in the same way that he captured the sullen or violent moods of the abandoned asylum in Danvers (see link at bottom of page).

Some of these pastels can be obtained in their original pastel format, and all are available in high-quality giclee prints. They are matted and framed in an attractive and dramatic fashion.

The image at far left in the top row, "Working at the Mill", will be auctioned off in Giclee at ART ON THE WATUPPA in Fall River on September 12.
