White Calm Oil Painting At the Telfair Academy in Savannah, Georgia there were many traditional masterpieces there. Here we see "White Calm" ( Calme Blanc) 1905-8 by Raoul du Gardier. A work after the Impressionist style of socialites in a yacht out to sea becalmed. The elegently dressed figures await the return of the wind.

You ever have an idea that looks good in your head but probably won’t make sense to anyone but you?

This is Richard II and his beloved Anne of Bohemia at the Telfair Academy in Savannah, Georgia, visiting the painting The Black Prince at Crecy by Julian Story, which depicts Edward, Prince of Wales paying respects to the dead John of Bohemia.

The significance being - Edward was Richard’s father and John was Anne’s grandfather.

The backgrounds are photos by me from my most recent visit.

Huey's On The River, Savannah GA.

Lightly Fried wild caught Oysters.

“If you go to Atlanta, the first question people ask you is, "What's your business?" In Macon they ask, "Where do you go to church?" In Augusta they ask your grandmother's maiden name. But in Savannah the first question people ask you is "What would you like to drink?”- John Berendt, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

I went on my first trip to Savannah Georgia and fell in love with this Southern city. The beautiful weather, history, amazing sites, delicious food and open container laws made it easy to love everything about this city! My favorite city is Charleston SC and everyone told me that Savannah is very similar to Charleston, very historical and beautiful. I disagree with them, I think Savannah is much more beautiful than Charleston. I loved how every block you walked had a beautiful square you could sit in and enjoy looking at the Spanish Moss hanging from the trees.

One of the best things I did there was take a Hop on and Off tour of the city. You are able hop and off the trolley all day and see any of the sites that interest you. I am very interested in the Revolutionary War and Civil War periods in our country. Both periods of history are represented in Savannah as well as some pirate and pre Rev War history. I had the opportunity to do a lot of sightseeing while I was in Savannah but I was very interested in going to many of the sites that were talked about in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I had the opportunity to go to the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, that is where the Bird Girl statue is displayed. I toured the Bonaventure Cemetery and saw the Mercer-Williams House Museum. Savannah is a very walkabout city and you can walk from Forsyth Park, through the historical district all the way down to the water front. When you go to Savannah I would suggest to grab your walking shoes and enjoy walking around this gorgeous city!

While you are walking around Savannah it will start getting a little hot! That is when it is time to stop in the AC and grab a drink! A great place to stop is Huey’s, which is right along the river. They have happy hour drinks and apps. For an appetizer I got the lightly fried wild caught oysters. This will only be my second time eating fried oysters but I really enjoy them and thought the ones at Huey’s were delicious. The batter was a little too heavy for my likening, I usually like my seafood lightly fried. But, the oysters were not greasy at all. Sometimes with heavily fried food it can be greasy but that was not the case. Under all the batter you could taste a fresh oyster. The great thing about Huey’s is that because it is in Savannah once you are done eating you can take your drinks and walk along the water and continue enjoying the city sites.

Based on presentation and taste of the Huey’s On the River fried oysters I would rate this dish a 8 out of 10.

It was my fourth day in Savannah! I enjoyed a cheeseburger dinner and beers the previous night, now it was time to check out another spot for brunch – The Ordinary Pub. The casual eatery with exposed-brick walls serves brunch daily and craft cocktails.

The Ordinary Pub

Bar Area

I took a seat at the bar and looked over their cocktail menu. It’s never too early for a drink, especially when it comes to brunch! (Okay actually alcohol can’t be served until 12:30pm on Sundays according to Georgia state law.) I tried the Queen Bee made with Old Grove gin, local honey, fresh squeezed lemon juice, house simple syrup, and fresh jalapeno. A refreshingly spicy way to start the day.

Everything on the food menu sounded great. I eventually decided to get the Chicken & Waffle Gyro. The soft waffle flatbread was stuffed with fried chicken and gobs of herb mascarpone cream cheese and topped with a honey poblano drizzle. It was served with a side of bourbon maple stone ground grits. Good stuff!

It was a nice sunny day and after brunch I walked to the Jepson Center for the Arts. It’s a museum of contemporary art and activities housed in a cool modern building. I love checking out at least one art museum when I’m exploring a new city. The most famous piece of work at the Jepson Center may be the Bird Girl statue that was on the cover of the bestselling novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

You’re free to browse the permanent collection and special exhibits at your own pace. There were a couple interactive areas that used Virtual Reality (VR) headsets that completely submerged you in digital works of art. So cool!

The museum is one of three museum sites comprising the line of Telfair Museums. In addition to the Owens-Thomas House, the third is the Telfair Academy which was just a short walk away from the Jepson Center. The two-story mansion contains three 19th century period rooms and houses 19th and 20th century American and European art.

After a few hours of incredible art, I enjoyed the beautiful day and just walked around lovely Savannah for a bit before stopping by a popular eatery serving up one of the best sandwiches in town!

Corrie McCallum

1914-2009

While visiting 'The Graphic Eye: South Carolina and the Intersection of Art and Design' exhibit In the South Carolina State Museum, I came across an array of diverse art pieces from local artists. The works of one artist caught my attention.

___

Corrie McCallum was born in Sumter, South Carolina in 1914. She enrolled at University of South Carolina in 1932; It was here where she earned her certificate in fine arts and met, her future husband, Willam Halsey. They both eventually went to study at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; where Corrie earned a scholarship. It was in 1939 when she and Halsey got married.

Corrie's travels started when Halsey was awarded a fellowship to study abroad. The couple unexpectedly decided to discover a less familiar culture in Mexico. During World War II, Corrie worked at a Telfair Academy but eventually moved to Charleston in 1945, where she became a part-time instructor for youth art classes till 1953. Corrie was then part of the establishment of the Charleston Art School.

Corries art style from the 1940s consisted of "compressed spaces and reliance on geometric shapes". In the 50's she go into printmaking that included woodblock and linoleum printing. In addition, she also developed skills in lithography and monotypes. While most of Corries inspiration came from Charleston, she traveled extensively, to places such as Peru, Portugal, and Thailand just to name a few. McCallum and Halsey collaborated on the publication of A Travel Sketchbook, which consisted of drawings from their journeys.

McCallum was Curator of Art Education at the Gibbes Art Gallery from 1959-1968. From 1971-1979, she continued her teaching career in studio art at the College of Charleston. In 2003, Corrie McCallum received the South Carolina Governor's Award for the Arts.

___

What drew my attention to McCallum's work (Surfers) above, was the color contrast. The ocean in the painting goes from dark to light. The white waves stand out from the background and the composition of the orange surfers creates depth. Another thing to note is the texture/style, it appears that McCallum used linocut printing. I would definitely consider this as fine art, its creative, eye pleasing, and doesn't have a purpose other than being displaced for the world to see.
