Jimmy Craig Womble, II

"In April of 05, I pulled up stakes and moved to Beaufort, North Carolina.  Thankful to be back to a more rural coastal environment, the subjects I love are all around. The port offers up its industrial geometry, with crisp light on enormous ships, bringing cargo from all over the world.  "Down East" lies the deep water canals, marshes and the contrast between nature at its most serene and the rusting work boats of  generations of fishermen. Going inland brings back the rural landscaped  I have enjoyed painting for a decade now. Delapidated barns stand guard at the edges of fields of cotton, tobacco and beans, recalling memories of my childhood at Nannie's in rural Nash County. But my greatest inspiration has come from the various shipyards around the area. The light seems extra sharp and intense, with only passing clouds  and the shadows of elevated boats to providing relief. Boats of all shapes, colors, and sizes float in a sea of empty containers, rusted metal, chains, tarps, nets, welding tanks and sandblasters. Forgotten things all around slowly succumb to the power of nature."
