I posted last week about the upcoming art opening at the Left Bank Art Gallery.
I met with Jennifer Broadus a couple of weeks ago and saw her paintings that will be presented at the show.
Weaving the past with the present, Jennifer’s paintings are such an interesting contrast to the paintings of Mildred Huie.

Where Mrs. Huie captured her impressions of what Cannon’s Point looked like in its hey day, Jennifer Broadus has presented what they are today….the ruins of a bygone era.

Cannon’s Point has been purchased by the St. Simons Land Trust and is being renewed as a park that all can enjoy.

Each of the paintings in the upcoming show present a piece of the island’s history, the colorful past when the plantations bustled with energy and the quiet present where they lay in ruins, at rest for eternity.

The quiet stillness of Jennifer Broadus’ work has a haunting quality only to be equaled by actually visiting Cannon’s Point, seeing the chimney and other ruins standing stark and lonely against the landscape of oak trees.

All of this and more awaits at the Left Bank Art Gallery when you visit! I find the work of Mildred Huie beautiful in detail and color. Another post featuring this great local artist will follow over the next few weeks.
Once again, I am reminded that this is a very special, magical place to call home!
