Vernacular architecture prints feature buildings that by and large don’t reflect any architectural style. Vernacular is a functional design. By and large these are buildings that were designed for a purpose whether simply shelter or otherwise. That’s not to say that vernacular architecture is purely functional. Vernacular can simply be architecture that is uniquely designed and does not fit neatly in a particular bucket. In fact as this wall art suggests, I’d say there’s great beauty to be found in the vernacular style.
Imagine how dull the world would be without tropical colors! I have written before about our collective changing tastes where color is concerned. Brilliant colors like the ones in this scene from San Juan del Sur have been both democratized and marginalized. Once you would have needed to be wealthy to have colors like this….
During most of my years in the Atlanta area, I lived near Roswell and the old walking trails around the historic Roswell Mill were among my favorite haunts. And you can probably tell from this print that when the fall colors were on the trees, it was an especially nice place to wander! Hard to…
For decades, Atlanta has been a growing city constantly paving over and building up, so it’s always a pleasure to know that there are some pieces of Atlanta history – of the old Atlanta – that are still there. A perfect example of a surviving landmark is Mary Mac’s Tea Room. This Atlanta tradition opened…
I think maybe it’s something inherent in the artist’s nature to create stories as well as art. It is another creative discipline after all. In this case, I honestly have no idea that this little red cottage on the streets of Salem, Massachusetts, is a Fisherman’s House. But the moment I stood before that vivid…
One evening as I was passing through Macon heading back to Atlanta after a weekend at home, I decided on the spur of the moment to do a little wandering in Macon. I happened upon the old industrial section of town and saw this massive structure rising into the blue skies. It was actually many…
This lonely old cotton warehouse in this print is located in the small town of Byromville in rural Georgia. I stumbled over this old structure by the railroad tracks one fall afternoon. The late afternoon sunlight was a real treat with the golden grasses and the old red brick of the warehouse. There was a…
This particular piece of rustic farmhouse art has a small special detail that makes it incredibly sentimental to me. The figure in the doorway is intended to be my grandmother. Among the stacks of old family photos is one my grandfather took of his baby son being held on the steps of their home om…
There’s something special about cozy homes like this little red cottage on a side street in my hometown of Montezuma, Georgia. Growing up, I remember seeing a lot more of these simple little houses. Despite how simple they were, they had a quaint charm that exceeded their small footprint. I recently noticed that I see…
This is a lovely autumn picture of an old farm shed full of bright fall colors from the blue sky to the orange and reds of the trees. This print is at the heart of my belief that we can find beautiful images everywhere around us. This old farm shed was one that I passed…
When I lived in the Atlanta area, when the weekend came, I would often go for day trips into the North Georgia mountains. It wasn’t just the draw of the nearby mountain landscapes that got me in the car. It was the chance to get out into the little communities that existed beyond the Atlanta…
Colonial Williamsburg is peppered with buildings that have their places in the history books. I visited this area of Virginia because of my personal family ties to nearby Jamestown, but for any history buff, Williamsburg is a must visit. It’s simply one of those places where you feel you are walking in history. Perhaps it’s…
This little colonial cottage is a photo from my short stay in historic Williamsburg, Virginia. When I first spotted this tiny house, I immediately saw what I thought was an individualist streak in the pink hue of this cottage. I didn’t realize until much later that this little cottage was actually one of the genuinely…
I’ve mentioned before that during the years I lived in the Atlanta area, Roswell was one of my favorite places to visit. The Smith Plantation is a beautiful illustration of why I liked the area. Parts of historic Roswell still had a small town “homey” feel. It doesn’t feel like suburbia when you look at…
I’ve visited some beautiful beaches, but San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua fit my stereotypical image of a tropical paradise. From beach huts to palm trees, this little corner of Nicaragua on the Pacific Coast has haunted me every since I stood on those tranquil shores. But I’m torn for the best way to describe…
