William F. Turner Art on Exhibit at the Presbytery of Baltimore Gallery
Now on display at the Presbytery of Baltimore

William F Turner
|
's art gallery is the work of William F. Turner - a Presbyterian elder who, during his retirement, received local acclaim for his stunning oil paintings and intricate sketches depicting scenes in Harford County, including several churches in the Presbytery.
Mr. Tuner-- who died last fall at the age of 91 -- created more than 600 pen and ink drawings and a vast number of vibrantly colored oil paintings. Mr. Turner would often travel throughout the county, taking pictures of scenes he found appealing and recreating them on canvas with oil paint or a meticulous dot-by-dot application with pen and ink. Churches were one of his favorite subjects because of their varied architectural style.
Mr. Turner began painting after work
as "a way to relax" while working as an executive for the Agrico Chemical Company. However, once he retired in 1984, he once told a reporter that he thought painting "might be something to do. I started in with pen and ink and drew some places I liked, like my church and some homes." At that time, Mr. Turner could never have imagined that such an ardent past-time would flourish into a 30-year career and garner him region-wide fame --
albeit, no great fortune.
Many of Mr. Turner's artworks appeared in the Harford section of the Baltimore Sunday Sun from 1987 to 1995; 175 were published in an illustrated biography of Harford's heritage entitled
Picturesque Harford County - The Artistic Impressions of William F. Turner (1998); and, a large collection of his prints resides in an archive at the county's Historical Society. His artwork has appeared on stationery, T-shirts, Christmas ornaments and cookbooks. And his paintings and sketches were exhibited at the World Trade Center, the State House in Annapolis and the Medical School of the Johns Hopkins University.
Mr. Turner's current work on display at the Presbytery's Gallery is on loan from the private collection of his widow, Pat Turner. An active member of the Presbytery and Churchville Presbyterian Church, Pat worked steadfastly alongside her artist-husband once she, too, retired in 1997 from her career as a school psychologist. She served as both a muse and critic of her husband's artwork; and, also researched and wrote the narrative for his illustrated book. Pat continues to this day to be an active and faithful member of the Presbytery.
Mr. Turner was a Ruling Elder and Trustee at Churchville Presbyterian Church. A highly decorated World War II Veteran, Mr. Turner served in a more peaceful era as the chair of the Peace and Justice Committee for both his congregation and the Presbytery. He also served as a delegate to the General Assembly in Long Beach, CA and in 2000 was recognized as An Outstanding Older Adult in the Presbytery of Baltimore.
Mr. Turner's artwork will be on exhibit at the Presbytery's Gallery throughout the summer.
