About the Lithograph:
The Southern Plantation is a gift from the past and stands as a glorious monument to an elegant age.
This gift offers a Treasure Trove of mansions, ruins, churches and out buildings. The rich history of the men, women and children who lived and worked these plantations provides a legacy that is evident today. This legacy displays a strong southern spirit that has survived in the face of natural and man-made disasters.
The plantations give us a glimpse of their struggles, their pain and their passion for survival. Our spirits are elevated as the treasures serve as their voice from the past.
In the painting, A Southern Plantation, stately live oak trees line the driveway leading to the magnificent plantation home.
Amidst the grandeur of the plantation home and the shadows of the mighty oaks, whispers of another time speak of great joy sharing gracious living. Today, one can walk the road of the avenue of oaks and experience the whispers and catch a ghostly glimpse of the past. Our imaginings are swept by the wind through veils of lacy moss. The old world southern hospitality and the romance of the antebellum south permeate the air.
As you are swept back in time, you feel the visions of these glorious fits of the past as they stand before you quiet elegance.
