Description An old store no longer in operation located in Cobb County, Georgia at the intersection of Dallas Hwy and Hwy 176. Originally built in 1881, the last store manager was Newt Sanford and he ran the store til it closed in l992. It was renovated in l996 and became a branch of The United Community Bank. During the many years that it was in business, it became a local landmark representative of a way of life that has all but vanished. Oil painting done from a photo that I made in 1988.
Vivian Eagleson, Arab Member Since June 2010 Artist Statement My interest in art began at a very eary age. My mother taught art as a school teacher and gave private instruction as well. Like my mother, my art reflects the beauty of God's creative work in nature. I went to art shows with my mother and sold my first painting when I was 15 years old. I still have the receipt for that first sale. Since then I have made many more sales and have even won a few awards at art shows. When I was in High School I was Art Editor on the Annual Staff my Junior and Senior years and was voted Most Talented Girl in my graduating class. I graduated Auburn University with a Bachelor of Science Degree and later I studied Nuclear Medicine Technology in Atlanta, GA. I continued my interest in art and attended several workshops and showed my paintings at local art shows. After living in the Atlanta area for a number of years, I decided to return home to my roots in rural north Alabama where I reside with several dogs and cats and my God given love of art.
