Marshall University Old Main – Pen & Ink / Prismacolor – 1999 – Wm. D. Goebel
It has been nearly three years since the passing of Charleston artist William D. (Doug) Goebel. For those of us who knew Doug his absence is felt practically everyday.
What he left behind, in addition to many friends, was a body of work unmatched in our state. With pen in hand, Doug captured not only the architecture but also the spirit and pride of West Virginians. His drawings and prints have become heirlooms in many families and his work graces many homes, offices and public buildings throughout West Virginia.
Doug’s friendship with the modern lady and I went back much further than The Purple Moon but the presence of his work at our shop has been a constant since we opened. It seemed only natural when we christened our new Over the Moon Gallery last month to feature original works by Doug and we were very pleased when all the pieces fell into place to allow us to do so and included several works which have never been previously exhibited.
The show of original works and rare prints will continue though September 15th.
