I did not discover the bright images of southern artist Jonathan Green until I moved to Boston.  I was walking through Bob Slate’s in Harvard Square.   The images spoke to me in a deep and familiar way, depicting southern people in all their varied hues and body shapes, adorned in big broad hats and voluminous skirts.

I have such skirts and hats.  When I see a Green image I remember the heat that beats down in the deep south and surrounds you.  For now I purchase his postcards and notecards to send to friends.  One day I hope to see his actual paintings in a gallery.  To learn more about the artist, you can visit his website here:  http://www.jonathangreenstudios.com/
