Methodist Preacher Painting

Methodist Preacher is part of Paula McHugh’s series of paintings inspired by the titles of American and Celtic fiddle tunes and folk songs. This painting depicts a Methodist Preacher leaving on horseback as American frontier family waves goodbye. The American frontier became the domain of the 18th century Methodist preacher. Alone on horseback going from one appointment to the next these “circuit riders” pioneered gospel missionary work throughout the western lands. In 1806 Abraham Lincoln’s parents Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks were married by a Methodist circuit rider in a small Kentucky cabin. Bill Monroe learned the tune from his Uncle Pen, and taught it to Kenny Baker. The rest is history.
