"Watermelon, Watermelon"
10x10
Oil on Canvas
I am passionate about life in the South. Born and raised and deeply rooted in Alabama, I have more than a particular fondness for the myriad of things that make us who we are....and this is what I am passionate about painting. I want to honor the Southern lifestyle....create something special for those of us who have lived here all our lives; to introduce those who aren't from around here to the things we treasure and hopefully they, too, will fall in love with this place in the world.
I plan to post a painting each week featuring something uniquely special to Southerners called "All Things Southern". It may be our landscape. It may be a still life of cornbread and sweet tea. It might be a neighbor or a bunch of flowers in a Mason jar. Whatever it is, I hope it will give you a glimpse of my world and my heart...the Deep South.
With summer on my mind, today's posting is "Watermelon, Watermelon"...the best summer treat in Dixie!
