Appalachian
Reflections is an acrylic collaborative painting by three artists – Susan
Tolson, Gail Karnoupakis and Deede Edele.
Comprised of
nine panels visualizing an Appalachian Sunset over Butterfly Gap in Maryville,
Tennessee. Each artist completed three
panels; one of the sky, one of the mid-range and one of the foreground, not in
vertical order. The art installation of the front porch of an
Appalachian cabin with memorabilia reminiscent of a simpler time was recreated
next to a pond.
