Annual February Show and Reception

The Second Wednesday in February
Twin Towers Lobby
The Governor’s Exhibit runs in conjunction with the Student's Capital Art Exhibit, Twin Towers Plaza Lobby January 29 – February 23, 2001 (Floyd Legislative Office Building, across the street from the Capitol).  Mark your calendar for the Big Reception with dance, music, dramatic presentations, and refreshments.  February 14, 2001, 3:00 PM till 6:00 PM.  Arts Advocacy meeting 3:15 PM cafeteria conference room sponsored by the Georgia Coalition for the Arts.  Have your picture taken with your representatives from 5:00 - 5:30 PM. 

 

These 101 works, we pray, will subtly influence the Governor and Legislators to strengthen support for the arts in Georgia’s schools.  GAEA’s top legislative goal (in conjunction with other arts organizations) is to persuade legislators to include one credit for an arts class (art, music, theater, band, or dance, etc.) toward the high school graduation requirement which would allow an arts class to count when high school averages are calculated for post-secondary study and the Hope Scholarship.  This would raise the status of at least one arts class from an Elective to the level of the Core Curriculum such as Math, Language Arts, Science, etc.  For the entire list of legislative goals go to www.gaea.armstrong.edu and click on Advocacy then Legislative Agenda or the direct link is at http://www.gaea.armstrong.edu/gaealegisl.htm

Nature always refreshes and inspires me.  The fall is my favorite time of year--I love the colors of the leaves, the crunch of the leaves underfoot, the crispness of the air, and the scent of a bonfire in the air.  While walking in the woods one day, I took this photograph to try to capture the tranquility and beauty that this time of year represents to me.  Mrs. Bain is a Ph.D. candidate and art graduate assistant at the University of Georgia.

Small landscapes are a very dramatic departure from the ongoing work I have been doing as an artist.  They represent a series of summer vacation images from North Georgia and are what I refer to as postcard works due to the small scale.  I have not painted representational work of this nature in some time and am intrigued by the challenge of creating space on a small scale.  Revisiting this manner of working originated for me from a sketchbook journal developed while traveling in Alaska.  Virginia Carnes is Director of Arts Education at The Howard School, Atlanta.

Small-scale works of this size are a new venture as is working with oil after an absence of many years.  The coastal series I am now working with comes from being on the coast and while they’re being engaged by light as it transforms the state of nature hour to hour.  The ever-changing light on water reflected from the drama or lack thereof in the sky as it moves from light to dark creates subtle and quiet moments to those of great tension.  Virginia Carnes is Director of Arts Education at The Howard School, Atlanta.

Office of the Secretary of State Suite 214 (back)

 

Trees have long been a focus of my vision whether they occur in my natural or imaginative vision.  They provide an endless variety of linear rhythms and create changing shapes as the lines of intersection wind and intersect.  The rain tree in this piece is an ever-present image in my front yard, as I have watched its growth and passage over the course of our existence together moving through the seasons.  I visit the image from time to time through both drawing and paintings.  Virginia Carnes is Director of Arts Education at The Howard School, Atlanta.

Landscapes have always been fascinating to me and being living on a barrier island in Savannah attracts me to water related landscapes all along the coast of the United States.  By combining the photographic image with the many tools of the computer I have created a fantasy effect on a very real coastal scene along Penopscot Bay in Maine.  Color and texture and the mystique of the cave help create this surreal surrounding.  Dr. Cato is Chair of Art Education at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah.

Duchess

Office of the Governor Suite 201

 

While taking a special vacation with family aboard the schooner, Timberwind, in Maine I was attracted to the many aspects of the boating experience.  The Duchess was our lifeboat and served as a general-purpose boat when we were in a harbor. In the quiet times of the morning the Duchess had its on beauty that rivaled the majestic sails of the Timberwind.  Dr. Cato is Chair of Art Education at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah.

The evening before our sail aboard the schooner, Timberwind, I was drawn to various reflections of boats on the water in the afternoon light.  The unusual bow of this boat against its reflection in the water created a sense of tranquility and beauty.  Dr. Cato is Chair of Art Education at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah.

Tender II

18” x 14”

$150.00

Office of the Governor Suite 201

 

The tender was a skiff capable of pushing the Timberwind, a 90-foot schooner, in and around the various harbors that we visited.  It was the workhorse of the schooner, which had no mechanical propulsion systems.  The ropes and other metal tackle used to lift the tender out of the water and onto the schooner and were visually appealing to me.  I found many different angles to photograph the patterns that they created. Using Adobe Photoshop in a creative way I was able to create a watercolor effect that pushes this work beyond the realm of a photograph.  Dr. Cato is Chair of Art Education at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah.

Lobster floats hanging on a rustic wall of the Harbor Master’s shack in front of the open window of the building created an interesting pattern and feeling that something was missing.  More than anything else the work leaves room for speculation about what might actually happened in the next few minutes.  Dr. Cato is Chair of Art Education at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah.

The contrast between the two hulls of the boats in the dark waters of the harbor creates a dynamic composition.  The angle of the white boat sets up the dynamics that is countered with the darker hulled boat on the left.  It is mysterious, interesting, and presents a quality all its own.  Dr. Cato is Chair of Art Education at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah.

Cemeteries have always been of interest to me.  I began photographing cemeteries under the guidance of my college mentor.  My projects were born from the notion that the graveyard is a photographic cliché.  The goal was to find a new direction.  From that point the iconography that represented the dead became an obsession.  Surrounded by peace these forms create their own conversations in history.  Ironic, considering we often associate the cemetery with evil and danger.  Joe Cillo teaches art in metro Atlanta.

This painting was painted from a model- a new model – the young man had not posed before and seemed some what anxious.  I started it as a value study, using charcoal and earth colors, I added the color later.  I feel the uneasiness of the model is apparent in the final painting.  Anita Cook teaches elementary art in Clayton County.

Untitled (Small Trees)

Watercolor on paper

16” x 20”

$175.00 NFS

Office of the Secretary of State Suite 214

 

The Great Smokey Mountain National forest in the summer months, with its dense, lush green foliage, and quiet streams was the source of this on sight watercolor.  While hiking my party and I were caught in an afternoon shower, while taking refuge in an old barn I sat on the steps and began doing some watercolor sketches that I later finished back home.  Although, it was raining heavily, the sun's warm afternoon glow continued to filter down through the hardwood forest, my hope was to create a sense of that in this particular work.  Katherine Crossan teaches elementary art in Columbia County, Evans.

Untitled  (Larger Trees)

Watercolor monoprint on paper

$375.00

Office of the Secretary of State Suite 110

 

Trees are just one of natures beauties that bring me great joy.  The works of the American painter Charles Burchfield, particularly his paintings of trees and forests are of interest to me and an important source of inspiration.  I love to go out and just look at and listen to the forest and sometimes sit and paint.  Other times I go back and paint from memory in the studio, my own impression of the forest and its trees.  Katherine Crossan teaches elementary art in Columbia County, Evans.

Memories of the wildflowers, which grew outside my Father's Northeast Georgia boyhood home and Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers, were my sources of inspiration for this piece.  When painting flowers I can relive childhood moments filled with wonder and delight, bright colors and beautiful light.  Katherine Crossan teaches elementary art in Columbia County, Evans.

 I have always been fascinated by the patterns of leafless branches against the gray sky.  Looking at the intricacies of patterns each branch and twig make never ceases to add to my amazement at God's creation.  Contrasts of light and dark mark most of my work.  Ms Davis teaches at Truett-McConnell College in Watkinsville.

Inspired by the greens of spring and the North Georgia mountains, this watercolor evolved from a journey.

Trees are one of Georgia's most extraordinary treasures! And around Atlanta, they are more abundant than ever! This is a watercolor of a trio of lonely pines on a rock island in one of Georgia's streams.  The wind and water have taken its toll as is apparent by the bareness of needles on the spindly trees.  Jeanne George teaches at Sagamore Hills Elementary as a PTA sponsored Art Instructor, metro Atlanta.

A pen and ink drawing of the simple fruits of life. Resisting the urge to become abstract, I left this still-life exactly as it was, an understatement of the importance of these simple fruits, wheat, and the extraordinary role they play in all of our lives.  The Georgia farmer in dealing with this year's drought would relish such a bounty.  Jeanne George teaches at Sagamore Hills Elementary as a PTA sponsored Art Instructor, metro Atlanta.

This is the view form inside an abandoned church on Sapelo Island looking out through the missing pane of a stained glass window.  The trees are filtered by the plain glass insert that has clouded over time.  The image seemed more a painting to me than reality and the stained glass became the frame.  Dr. Henry is Chair of Art Education at The University of Georgia, Athens.

It was evening and the rain had ended.  It was photographing the sky’s reflection in the puddle, when Rex, the neighbor’s dog, walked up and laid down.  I liked the way the curve of his body echoed the curve of the dirt road.  Rex took on the quality of an artist’s model.  Dr. Henry is Chair of Art Education at The University of Georgia, Athens.

I was on my way to the store in Danielsville to buy groceries when the light and now it illuminated the land caught my attention.  I stopped my car and took a series of photographs of this shed and dead tree in the pasture.  I was struck by the darkness and power of what I saw in the viewfinder.  The tree takes on a sense of life; it has a presence.  Dr. Henry is Chair of Art Education at The University of Georgia, Athens.

This piece was inspired by a class assignment given to my students.  They were studying abstraction and cubism.  I went home and saw a very familiar site, my daughter, Anna sitting in a wing back chair with her legs thrown over the arm.  Of course, she was holding the remote, trying to find her favorite channel on television.  As a mother I struggle to keep the remote control away from the entire family at times!  I tried to capture this common pastime using abstraction to capture the energy of the television that causes us to watch.  The piece became an abstraction of our obsession with television and the remote control.  The energy from the television absorbs the viewer.  Jodie Hobbs teaches art at Newnan High School.

There’s something exciting about swimming pools early in the morning.  The colors are golden, the air is fresh, and the water is so inviting.  It’s my favorite time to swim.  It’s also an enjoyable time to capture this feeling in watercolor.  Once I’ve painted these impressions, the feeling stays in my mind as a beautiful picture I can retrieve on some cold, gray day.  Lynda C.

The Jekyll Inn swimming pool early in the morning was a contrast of hot sun and cool shade.  The colors were brilliant, the air cool on my skin.  Painting a pool like this imprints it in my memory not only as a picture, but also as a tactile feeling.  Seeing the painting brings back the feel of the breeze, the smooth wooden deck under my feet, and the smell of the beach.  Lynda C.

Under a full moon half hidden by clouds, this cotton field lay resting at the beginning of winter.  Growing up on a farm, I learned the cycles of crops, from planting through harvest, always followed by the time of rest for the soil.  Although the cotton had been harvested, this field seemed to have its own kind of magic in the ghostly tree shapes and the soft colors.  Lynda C.
