Title : The Oconee in Early Summer Artist: A.J. Jones Date: 2026
Medium: Digital Woodcut Emulation
Description: This work presents a stylized interpretation of the Oconee River as it winds through the Georgia Piedmont. Eschewing traditional Southern Impressionism, the piece utilizes the bold, rhythmic linework of the Russian "Mir Iskusstva" (World of Art) movement.
The artist employs a high-horizon composition to emphasize the lush, undulating canopy of the surrounding hardwood forest. In the foreground, a vibrant tapestry of poppies and yellow wildflowers serves as a decorative "frame," a hallmark of early 20th-century book illustration. The water is rendered not as a fluid mass, but as a series of graphic ripples and eddies, capturing the kinetic energy of the river's shoals through deliberate, woodblock-style contours.
"The Oconee in Early Summer" reimagines the American landscape as a setting for a modern folk tale, balancing the heat of a Georgia June with the cool, disciplined aesthetics of the Golden Age of Illustration.
