A self portrait of Harkrader from the
late 80s or early 90s.
An amazingly minimal line drawing
in ink, executed in one never-ending
line. The pen never leaves the paper,
from the beginning until the end.

Hawkins Homeplace


An ink study for the Hawkins Homeplace painting
that Harkrader was commissioned to paint for the
Hawkins family located in Russell County, Virginia
Signed: Chico Harkrader and dated 1978.
Harkrader was in this region, working as a lineman
for C&P Telephone at the time.

Harkrader Childhood Village


Rt. 600 leading into
Parrott, Virginia, childhood home of Harkrader.
Parrott is unique because there is only one way
in and one way out. Near the brick house is
Back Creek and at one time only a single lane bridge.
Near that point, Rt. 600 splits into three roads,
the River Road, the Mountain Road and
the Creek Road. All three dead-end. To depart,
one must return the way they entered.

Harkrader Antique Oil on Canvas


Recently spotted in an Antique Shop in Virginia, this Harkrader
oil on canvas street scene of Manhattan was painted in the
early 90s after a December 1991 trip with his wife,
Ellen Lee. They stayed at the Paramount Hotel
on W 46th Street. Harkrader rendered many
of his street-scenes as nocturnes with wet
urban reflections.
