wow, a lot of W.Hodges out there. I just purchased one at Goodwill here in Bradenton, Florida for 50 dollars. Pretty large, about 3ft. by 4ft. of a very eery green landscape looking out over a cliff toward a distant row of hills with many many rows of bushy trees and a large eery cliff rising in the distance. A big tree is in the front with two stones that look like two seats with an eery light glowing around them. Also at the forground a lot of thick paint that actually becomes three dimensional. A mysterious light is overall with shadows from the small bushes casting a glow on the ground. Very interesting painting. I bet it is one of these generic artists. Has anyone found out anything more?

I just purchased a W. Hodges painting from my neighbor at her garage sale for $15. It is approximately 3 X 4 feet. The subject is a country cottage and English garden. It reminds me of Thomas Kinkade's style, but obviously not as brilliant. I was just looking at some reproductions of paintings at Costco for $300 and wishi I could get one, but then I came home and saw this one my neighbor was selling and blessed my lucky stars. The frame alone is worth much more than I paid. W. Hodges's paintings may be the work of mass production, but they are beautiful none-the-less.

I also have a painting by w. Hodges that I purchased in California.

It might just be another way of saying Made in China.

Artist - W. Hodges

A woman and a girl sitting in a field with long blue and pink dresses. One woman is holding a small bunch of flowers. A lot of flowers and grass in picture. Lots of vibrant and pastel colors and a very small house/cottage in the background. Painting is more recent. Picked up painting at a yard sale in Southern California. 12 x 10 inches. I am guessing it is a woman artist. Very feminine style.

Hi all,

Yes, I too have a Hodges. I just bought it yesterday in Polk, Florida at a Thrift store. Mine is the quaint pink roofed cottage with a beautiful English garden in front. In the distance there's a palm tree just before what appears to nbe a lake or river and then mountains and clouods in the background. It reminded me of Maui, Hawaii. It's just beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful, I love it! I hope Hodges painting bring as much joy to you as it has for me!!!

I have e W Hodges oil painting, not the famous painter from 1700's. Pastel colours, two ladies, one in a boat holding an oar, the other is standing on the land picking flowers from a tree with lots of white blossoms. I live in New South Wales, Australia & bought the painting from a thrift store. As yet I have found no info about the artist.

Hello, i am in Connecticut, also have a painting from W.Hodges. It was find at Goodwill in Wallingford. On the painting in a very lush greenery is a girl in a pink short and a ponytail, next to her is a boy with a fishing pole looking toward a lake, on the other side is some houses, and lots of sky, but mostly it is dominated by lush greenery and some very colorful flowers, it is more of a modern seen, also if You go look in the back of the canvas, You can tell it is new. So maybe we all have something that was mass produced, but if they all like mine, who cares it is beautiful. So just enjoy the paintings.

Continuing into 2012. Also love our paintings by W. Hodges. We bought one large and two small canvases with similar scenes in Monterey, Ca in 1993 from a peddler on the pier. Didn't expect that they were that valuable, but liked the colors, etc. The peddler's story was that his collection was from an art class, and they even have letter grades marked on the reverse. Following this thread and the number of W. Hodges out there, the painter was either very prolific or as others have suggested, they were mass produced? Don't know how you'd go about such an operation, but in today's world, I guess anything is possible.

I also have three W. Hodges paintings all purchased at a starving artist sale back around 1996 or 1997 for approximately $35 - $40 each. I've tried to find information about the artist as well, unfortunately nothing so far. The reason for my interest stems from being in a Marshall Fields Home Furnishing store a year or so after my purchase and seeing a very similar painting to those I own selling for $3,000. I did ask a sales person to see if they could track down any info on the artist, unfortunately, no luck.

I truly doubt my paintings are worth anywhere near what Fields was charging, but I did find it quite interesting and continue to enjoy mine today. Who knows, maybe one day we will all find out we own a small treasure!

Seems as though we ALL have our share of W. Hodges paintings! I too recently aquired a very large (and beautiful) oil on canvas depicting a woman in a field picking what seems to be either cherries or apples from a tree in bloom. Beside her upon the ground is a small girl with a basket picking flowers from the same field. Signed W. Hodges.
