      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Chester Harding was an early American painter born in Conway, Massachusetts. He grew up in New York and at the age of 21 became a drummer in the militia. He held a number of odd jobs painting houses and signs, and taught himself how to paint and draw.</p>
