He spent many years in Michigan and it appears that he painted many landscapes of this region. He is known for rich toned landscapes in the American tonalist style as well as charming portraits of everyday life. His son (Aldrich Otto Farsky 1895-1968) was also a painter of some note, but it has been made clear that pieces signed O. Farsky is to be the fathers hand.
