Singleton, who has been living on a West Virginia mountaintop since 1979, is considered one of the finest artists in large landscapes and his oil paintings are included in private and corporate collections worldwide and can found in numerous museum collections. Many of his paintings have a magical quality reflecting the change of natural light during the day, capturing the ethereal and atmospheric quality of clouds and breathtaking light that peeks through. Singleton describes his painting studies as a journey toward the light. “Throughout my career my work has reflected light with a small ‘l.’ After my sojourn here in West Virginia, however, my work is about THE light with a capital ‘L’—enlightenment,” says Singleton. “Sometime in the mid-1990’s I stopped painting for many reasons. Mostly my life took me on a detached journey away from art. However, in 2012 the door to my creativity opened wide and now I’m back to painting full time with a mission in mind.” added Singleton. The show will be on view from Friday, September 26, 2014 through Sunday, October 19, 2014 with an opening night reception Friday, September 26, 2014 from 5-8pm, to coincide with the 61st annual Hardy County Heritage Weekend.

The owners Paul Yandura and Donald Hitchcock, both Washington DC political escapees, dreamt up the idea of a modern mountain general store, or as they call it the “general store evolved.” The took an old 5,000 square foot previous feed store on Main Street in historic Wardensville WV and turned it into a specialty store that carries American-made and locally crafted products along with antiques and paired it with a full-service espresso bar. This month they inaugurated the Grasshopper Gallery, located inside the store, to showcase local artists.
