Paul Rohland

[9] Later that year, Rohland showed his work at the MacDowell Club of New York and the Carnegie Institute International Exhibition.

[10] In 1919 he married Caroline Speare, a Woodstock colleague[11] and fellow participant in the colony's lively Maverick Festivals.

The couple maintained a home and a large, impressive garden in Woodstock where they grew the flowers that Rohland used in his floral oils and watercolors.

[12] In search of subjects for their art work, the couple often traveled to Europe, Puerto Rico, and southern and western states.

Barnes later wrote Rohland, saying the works "successfully competed in cheerfulness and charm with a bright, crisp day.

[15] By the early 1920's, Rohland, like other Woodstock artists, was depicting the local landscape in heavy brushstrokes and earthy tones, which some newspaper reviews called "modernism.

Local landscape painter and art writer, Jean-Paul Slusser, wrote of Rohland's floral oils and watercolors, "only a temperament as native to the sun and the soil as the flowers themselves could have produced them.

In El Palacio, August 1943, Alfred Morang remarked that Rohland's watercolor, Southern Mansion, "possesses solidity beneath the flickering splashes of color.

"[21] In 1945, finding Santa Fe too cold, Rohland and his wife moved to Sierra Madre, CA, where he painted mountain landscapes and worked on his engravings.
