An evoked memory. An awe-inspiring moment. Life in its everyday state. Inspiration is all around us, and for many artists, that inspiration is here for the taking.
Meet seven painters, all Members at Reynolds Lake Oconee: Jim Barton, Shannon Candler, Gail Vail, Steven Kippels, Elaine Thillen, Sandra Witty, and Tina Perry. While some have been painting almost as long as they can remember, others picked up the hobby later in life. Some share their talent through teaching. Many paint in groups, while others prefer solitude. Their media vary as well from oil, watercolor, and acrylic to mud, household items, and even fingers. No matter how they paint—or where, when, or with whom—their reputations are well-known within Reynolds and the Lake Oconee community.
