Upstairs Artspace in Tryon, NC, Offers
Works by Landscape Painters
The Upstairs Artspace in Tryon, NC, is featuring two families of landscape painters with impressive artistic lineage in Generations, a new exhibit running through May 31, 2008.
J. S. Brown (1868-1956) was a member of Tryon's famous artists' colony. His granddaughter Margaret Brown Davis and great granddaughter Cynthia Davis continue painting in his tradition. All have significant bodies of work depicting the mountains, foothills, lakes and streams of western North Carolina as well as South Carolina Low Country vistas.
J. Stephen Ward (1876-1941) was an American West artist known for landscape and coastal marine paintings. His grandson Michael McCarthy lives in Tryon where he paints regional landscapes and the human figure. McCarthy prefers painting his landscapes with a palette knife for a highly textured effect. He is giving a workshop in palette knife painting during the course of the exhibit.
