Ed Doughty is a multi-media artist and craftsman. \u00a0From building houses to creating tiny carved walnut baskets, Ed\u2019s skill as an artist, carpenter, cabinet maker, and wood carver is as varied as it is phenomenal. \u00a0On Friday, November 4, 2016, his solo show opens at ARTWORKS around town<\/em> at the Centre Market. \u00a0As part of Wheeling\u2019s First Friday celebration, Ed\u2019s show, \u201cMixed Media\u201d will be open from 5:30 to 8:00 and continue through the month of November.<\/p>\n

Carvings of large and small historically and detail accurate items is one of Ed\u2019s specialties. His newest series is his hand carved collection of spinning wheels. \u00a0Each spinning wheel has been researched and is accurate in every detail. \u00a0Another, small in size, carved collection is of authentically researched, once again, Viking weapons.<\/p>\n

Ed\u2019s expertise in carving ranges from hand carved vintage trains and fire engines, historical scenes of Civil War cannonade groups to carved horses and saddles. \u00a0His newest carving adventures have been in creating realistically carved birds. \u00a0Taking lessons from another Artworks member, Susan Dorsch, Ed, in his retirement, is learning and researching. \u00a0Susan generously agreed to tutor Ed in carving realistic birds. \u00a0Several of the birds from Susan\u2019s lessons will be part of the exhibit.
\nEd\u2019s acrylic paintings of great detail will also be part of this show. \u00a0All new works of local landmarks including the Pike Island Dam and Lock will be on display. \u00a0Ed\u2019s acrylic paintings are almost photographic in detail.<\/p>\n
