My wife and I were watching a group of painters (artists) who were stationed all over our new adopted town of Apalachicola, Florida - they were doing a Painters' Work Shop.
We were talking with one of the artists and I told him I had a friend who was a Famous Artist and his name was Perry Austin.

The guy looked kind of funny and said, "Perry's about a half-mile away under the bridge giving tips to several of the artists (who were spread all over town)."

My wife and I went to where Perry was and talked with him for about a half-hour. He said he had been here all week doing a Work Shop with the artists.

Small World (but I wouldn't want to paint it)

There is another Sylacauga artist in Foley, Al. Chrishartisfield.com
His painting are all water coler, take a look at his work. Hard to believe it is water coler. He is one of 3 Hartsfield boys from SHS, Skip, Chris and Paul.

I love Chris Hartsfield's work. I have a print of his "Yonder's Blossom" and I love it. One of my daughter's got it from a show he was a part of in Dallas.

I think Perry Austin graduated in 1960 and lived in Walco. His dad was an executive at Avondale if I remember right. Perry is as unpretentious today as he was when we were going to school. Good guy
