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.

 OUR BREW:

...with punkin' muffins.



COME AND YUMMM!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

Do you ever wonder what to give

the special men in your life?

How about quietly collecting some of his treasures

and framing in a shadow box or creative matting?

Is he a Sportsman?

Golfer?

Fisherman?

Fan?

....so stir up your imagination

and go a' hunting!

He will be SO SURPRISED!!

A closer look at Martin Pate

...through Martin's eyes

"Blue skies, smilin' at me..."

a bit of silver lining

and painting in the great outdoors directly.
 .....the sun aglowin'

and cool, cool shadow shade:

woodland streams diamond crested,

and lovely ones, diamond dressed..

YESTERDAY,
 we met Dana Johnson and Martin Pate.
TODAY,
 take a look, a closer look at what newly graces our own walls.

Dana Johnson..NOT just plein air!

(detail) look how luscious.

ahhh...let's sail away...

TOMORROW : a closer look at Martin's work

   Our walls are ...

G L O W I N G !!!

Not only have they been freshly painted and sporting NEW ART!

Now they happily present

TWO NEW (to us) ARTISTS!!

Dana Johnson and Martin Pate

 

Dana is inspired to paint on location to capture the feel of the moment, scenes full of light and mood to elicit an emotional response.

Martin creates well reserch interpretive historical works. ...We see his heart in his storied figures and dancers.

Now we get to enjoy his new exploration: plein air landscapes!

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