JON CRANE

Finely detailed rural landscapes are a natural expression of the personality of watercolorist Jon Crane. A man who loves being outside - on a Baja beach or the highest mountain peak, translate onto paper. Through the medium of transparent watercolor, Jon is able to use its delicate nature to capture the fine details of reality that are so important to him. His oversized nostalgic landscapes of rural America have become his trademark.

Jon is a descendant of two noted artists. Alfred R. Waud, Jon's great-great-grandfather, was a well known Civil War artist and correspondent for Harper's Weekly. Marine artist Milton J. Burns, Jon's great-grandfather, was a popular contemporary of Winslow Homer.

Born in New Jersey in 1948, Jon left the crowded East to attend college at the University of Northern Colorado, where he earned a B.A. in Fine Arts in 1971. He spent the next 5 years as an Air Force pilot before launching his art career in Rapid City, South Dakota.

He now lives with his wife, Gail, along a secluded trout stream in the Black Hills.

Meeker Ranch Project
Recently the U.S Forest Service acquired the Meeker Ranch, an historic old place that borders the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve near Custer , South Dakota , and subsequently scheduled the demolition of the buildings on the property. The Forest Service cites numerous causes for their decision to burn the buildings, including safety and liability issues as well as what they refer to as “substantial” repair and maintenance cost concerns. Only the original homesteader’s cabin qualifies for the National Register of Historic Places and would therefore be preserved.

Without being able to generate an income or without the aid of private investors, the fate of the Meeker Ranch falls to simple economics. The Forest Service has no budget allotted to pay for things like preserving the Meeker Ranch. Without the necessary maintenance, the buildings then become a liability to the Forest Service, who might have to face a lawsuit of negligence in the event of an injury sustained in one of the buildings.

Jon Crane is currently seeking ways to partner with the National Forest Service to save the Meeker Ranch and others like it. Numerous individuals and organizations have voiced a desire to be a part of this preservation effort. Crane has committed to give 15% of sales on all artwork he creates of the Meeker Ranch which will be a first step toward funding this significant project.
