History of a Painting - Stone Mountain Mill,
Stone Mountain, GA (Spring)
Acrylic painting by Larry Johnston©
One of my favorite festivals, was the Yellow Daisy Festival, which I exhibited in for many years. It was located inside Stone Mountain Park, in Stone Mountain, Georgia, east of Atlanta. Since I have always been attracted to old places, it was only natural that the Grist Mill in the Park would be the focus of another painting. Evelyn and I rented a row boat, so I could go out on the lake to take photographs of the mill from the lake side.
The old Grist Mill was originally located in Ellijay, GA which was built in 1869. It was moved to the park in 1965 and has been one of their featured attractions, great for picnics nearby.
