Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Designs
The Pennsylvania Dutch Hex designs in this gallery were painted, sketched and designed by my dad, Otto Werner (1923-1991) based on the traditional hex signs found on Mennonite barns in Waterloo County of Ontario Canada. I have updated some of the designs and painted some that were only sketched. I have kept the backgrounds consistent so that these images can be hung as a collection in a grouping. Each design is available with or without the barn wood background. In the 1980's he was commissioned to design and paint a series of 24 panels to be mounted as part of the Waterloo Heritage TIME TELLER GAZEBO that illustrated some of the Pennsylvania Dutch Hex designs featured on many of the old Mennonite barns in the region. Each of these unique hex designs which represented good wishes an blessings, was incorporated into the gazebo design directly under the eaves. These barn folk art hex designs would be an excellent addition to your country kitchen decor! Perfect for European Deli decor, German Cafe decor! A collection of framed art prints will bring amazing ambiance to your contemporary kitchen!
