tivoli by david boyd, jr.

this is 1 of my favorite works by david. the historic tivoli theater in chattanooga, tennessee. ( part of his goggie sign series ) a interesting perspective on a great subject; applied w/ style & a potent combination of colors. here is an emerging artist. a recent visitor remarked " this guy gets it... paint in, paint out ".

watercolor by dick diedrich

the above piece was painted by my stepfather as part of a series of work titled " man on the edge ".  described to me as man's tendency to congregate on the shorelines of oceans & lakes; not so much about man, but very much about the water & it's mystical qualities. in this piece, dick has used his architectural skills to render development along the shore. longitudinal & latitudinal lines pinpoint this location as charleston harbor. in 2008, this painting was judged " best in show " @ the quinlan's annual member's exhibition in gainsville, ga.
