The JGP Artists' studio was first located in a Victorian farm house in Franklin, Tennessee, surrounded by a stimulating atmosphere of lush rolling hills dotted with rustic barns, walking horses, frisky colts, proud peacocks, Hereford cattle and even a gentle bull. We spent many years there, painting from constantly changing still-life studies, pursuing live portrait and figures studies, and holding classes with visiting art instructors.
In 2007 the farm was sold to the city of Franklin, and we found ourselves without a studio. After searching for weeks we finally found the perfect place on Gray Fox Lane in Franklin, and in 2008 we were able to move in. The farm is now being used as a park for the city. The old Victorian house is still there and there are plans to renovate it. It will be there as a reminder that we were there.
I can't wait for another fantastic art show and sale from JGP artists. I am always thrilled to experience the talents of these wonderful local artists. They are rich in their deapth of knowledge of art and technique. Some of the best local art you will find in the state. We are so fortunate to have such a talented group of artists.
