Spotlight | “Painting Tennessee”
Painting Tennessee is a wonderful portrait of our state by three local artists, Tom Moore, Joel Knapp, and Jennifer Simpkins. These three oil painters traveled to and painted portraits of all ninety-five counties of Tennessee in the plein-air method—painting in the outdoors in the style made famous by John Constable (1799) and Claude Monet (1840s). Traveling and hiking to these sites, often in the scorching summer heat, the artists wrote journalist essays retelling their stories of their travels and from locals they met along the way. These stories make it more than just another coffee-table book; it’s a way to experience the people and wonder of the beautiful state of Tennessee. this book is available at most major bookstores. www.lovell.com | 615-297-7766
