Homer E. Ellertson (1892 - 1935) was active/lived in North Carolina, Wisconsin.  Homer Ellertson is known for Watercolor landscape painting, illustrator, genre.

A native of Wisconsin, Homer Ellertson studied at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and won a scholarship to study in France. In 1920 he joined the artists' colony at Tryon, in the mountains of western North Carolina. There he spent the rest of his life until his death at the early age of 42.

He exhibited widely in major American art centers, and was a member of AFA,

sense of humor -- not typical of Depression-era artists -- that was lauded
