“A Tribute To Andrew Johnson”

These are original watercolors by Barbara "Jake" Carter available as the original or in the giclee format. She signs her paintings as "Jake" because that was her Daddy's nickname for her. The paintings are based on photos she has taken at the "Battle of Blue Springs Reenactment" each October in Mosheim, TN, here in Greene County.

Styled circa 1870's and reminiscent of Upper East Tennessee Decker pottery, Tim Frain's stoneware crocks have the look of older salt glazed pieces with a contemporary and more environmentally friendly glaze of his own creation. Frain consecutively numbered these pieces and has limited their production to 2008
