He Lost it All, Then Painted Roosevelt

Joseph Rodefer DeCamp lost everything in a fire. 25 years of work, gone. In his mid 40s and starting over. So he did the practical, survival thing. Portraits. Started low, proved himself, raised his prices, raised them again. He got so known for it, that Theodore Roosevelt asked him for one. When he needed a break from all those VIPs staring back at him, he slipped outside. Painted red rooftops hiding behind trees. No commission. No client. 🎨 EcoArtLab — Frame TV & Printable Art Transform your space with museum-quality digital art #JosephDeCamp #AmericanImpressionism #Bostonartists #Theodore
