Art exhibit “Places and People We Love: An Artists Private Collection” by Dot Courson of Pontotoc and her daughter, Susan Patton of Bruce, is currently on display in the W.O. Benjamin Fine Arts Center gallery at the Itawamba Community College Fulton Campus. The exhibit, which will run until Sept. 22, includes paintings in Courson’s personal collection. The mother and daughter work as full-time artists, but in slightly different genres. Patton paints portraits and figures, and Courson’s specialty is landscapes. Occasionally both paint figures, still life and landscapes. The collection shows the family, past generations of people and familiar places that the artists love, and all of its paintings are contemporary realism or representational works. Mediums are oil, acrylics and watercolors. Patton paints her Mississippi heritage in her works depicting people in the landscape near her home, and her mother has acquired several of these. Courson holds dear the work she has done due to the subject matter: disappearing landscapes from her childhood, her grandchildren’s playgrounds, some of the children at play or plein air paintings from time spent with special artist friends. Courson ... August 11, 2017 By Thomas, Donna S. General 0 Comment Read More >>
