We hinted before who is comin' ... and now he is here!!No, not Santa.
But our own home town "boyd", David Boyd Jr.
David has been puting Newnan on the map with an impressive Honorable Mention at the 13th annual AIS National (American Impressionist Society) in Indianapolis from Judge Kevin MacPherson.

Boyd painted his first painting in the 90's; focusing on the moonlight through the live oaks of Savannah.
Just last week he revisted the night with Meriwether Moonrise, 6x8in, oil on linen panel, study (pictured above).

We are delighted to be his place of presence in Newnan. 
Come and see his fresh plein air landscapes:

Hurricane Sun

Cedar Key


This one shimmers... painted on aluminum!!

Wartrace Remnants



                   
and that's just a few!
Come and see each brushstroke!

We love how Fine Line's artist and photograher Ellen Sloan sees!

On one hand there are her dappled hand-worked images; beckoning us to soft remembered times and places:



On the other hand, look below at the dazzling sparkle she finds in our downtown Newnan!




















Dedicated to Colin James Sloan
October 1, 1989 - July 19, 2012
