  Waldo Pierce
Waldo Peirce (December 17, 1884 - March 8, 1970) was an American painter, born in Bangor, Maine.
He belonged to no particular school of art, which may have diminished his long-term reputation, but was sometimes called "the American Renoir." His style was basically representational, colorful, and lusty, clearly denoting his Rabelaisian love of life.

A famous American artist, Waldo Pierce, grew up in that church, but he was long gone when I was there.
At one Board meeting, however, we had to consider a letter from Waldo Pierces descendents asking that the church either hang the painting on its walls or return it to the heirs.
Pierce was famous for his blood, sweat, and earth style, his way of capturing the feelings of down-to-earth life, and this painting was almost terrifying.
