Kim Shockley Karelson is a fourth generation Shockley, a family that has lived in the Madison area for over 100 years. She enjoys painting the southern landscape from intimate vignettes to grand vistas. Jill Schultz McGannon paints realistic landscapes, figure, and still life in oils, preferring to work from life whenever possible. Her favorite destinations for Plein air landscape painting include the Georgia coast, the mountains of North Carolina, the hills of California, and the Italian countryside.

This exhibition is the 2nd of 4 annual exhibitions sponsored by the Madison Artist Guild. 3 Points of View: Landscapes opens May 3, 6-8 kicking off the Madison Tour of Homes and running through July 28, 2012. For more on the artists, and information and directions to Town 220 visit these websites:
