"Party at the Old Manor House" by: Jace McTier

Combing the elements of my classical portrait training with a slightly more impressionistic style, I feel that I have taken a wonderful land mark (the Club House at the Augusta National) and evoked a sense of movement and life into one of the oldest concrete houses built in the South. There are not many more recognizable landmarks in American golf than the Old Manor House in Augusta.

I have been working on this painting sporadically for over two years, unsure as to where I was going until the last few weeks. When I lack inspiration, I feel as if I am Ray Charles in a dart throwing contest; but after this past Masters week, I had found a renewed sense of inspiration and finished the painting in about 2 days. The secret is to keep throwing the darts and eventually you’ll hit something, just don't give up…

Bobby's Dream (Augusta National)

"Bobby’s Dream”

Bobby’s Dream, showcases the great Bobby Jones swinging away in an old abandoned field that was once the Fruitland Nurseries. Slowly the painting fades from unkempt sandy soil into the lush green oasis of what is now the number one fairway at the Augusta National. The beautiful Mackenzie bunkers and green are framed by magnificent pine trees and a beautiful Augusta sky.

What drove me to start this painting was the aspect of showcasing what Bobby Jones must have seen while standing on the undeveloped canvas that would shortly become his masterpiece. The course, both immaculate and legendary, would not have come to fruition had it not been for “Bobby’s Dream.”
