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.

young crow by martin pate

for me, it does not get much better than this. a small oil on canvas featuring a native american subject. this piece was expertly painted by a nationally known, yet local artist. the unpainted space around the boy adds drama & speaks volumes about martin's confidence as a painter. surrounded by a 3 1/4" la rochelle profile by roma moulding ( autumn trail ) this piece sold last weekend & i framed it yesterday. young crow was picked up this morning & is currently being driven west across the country. click on the pictures.
