AUGUST 16, 2012 UPDATE-- THERE IS CURRENTLY A SHOWING OF MY PAINTINGS AT ROADRUNNERS COFFEE HOUSE (DALTON, GEORGIA) THAT WILL CONTINUE ON THROUGH THE REST OF AUGUST 2012

...a reception for the artists (myself included) who have contributed artwork to the August 2012 showing at Roadrunners Coffee House, will be held Friday, August 24, 2012 from 5 PM to 7 PM (at Roadrunners).  Tony Burress will be improvising on harmonica and/or keyboards throughout.  I'd love to see you there!  And while you're checking out the artwork, please support Roadrunners Coffee House as well.  Roadrunners is a local family-run small business and a labor of love for Don and Amanda (the owners).  Please purchase and enjoy some of the many delicious treats they offer!!!  Make it a place you stop in at, regularly.

AUGUST 25TH UPDATE: I was unable to make the Artist's Reception at Roadrunners last night, but I want to sincerely thank all those who were there. Sorry I missed you. Much thanks to those who (in these rough economic times) demonstrated their support of Dalton, Georgia's local artists by purchasing some of their work.  Among the pieces that sold were 2 or 3 of my acrylics, and I want to thank those very generous people who supported me thus. I've heard that there were some nice things said about my work Friday night, and want to thank those who said those nice things. Word of mouth is important. And I want to thank the owners of Roadrunners Coffee House, Don and Amanda, for holding the Artist's Reception (as well as a month-long showing of our artwork) at their establishment. Please support the Roadrunners Coffee House by frequently stopping by to enjoy their tasty (and healthful) treats.  If you're curious about which 3 of my paintings (at Roadrunners) have sold to this point, 2 of those 3 sold pieces are up on my artist's website (the site you're at right now).  One of those two is "Untitled #30" and the other (I'm told) is either "Flower Vase #26" or "Flower Vase #123".

Thanks again,
Jerry Morrison

While you're here (at my website), you might
as well scroll on down the page and begin
checking out my paintings, going from
painting to painting (or "post" to "post")
until you get to the bottom of the page. 
There, near the bottom of the page, click 
"Older Posts" and you'll go instantly to the
next page where, again, you can scroll on down 
going from painting (post) to painting (post). 
Keep moving along this way-- scrolling down
from painting to painting and from page to
page -- til you've seen all my paintings!  By
the way, I've now got 109 paintings up at this
site (as of August 3, 2012).  Check 'em out. 
And thanks for dropping by!

  1. Hi Jerry!
    My name is Kara Lee. I met you today at Cafe on the Corner on Lookout Mountain. I am a waitress there. I was looking at some of your art pieces on your website and found them very beautiful and unique. I would love to come to you art show and see them in person! Keep me updated as to when that will be. Thanks!

  5. MISTY! I will probably be back visiting your coffee shop at the Choo Choo for another hot chocolate (topped with whipped cream of course) sometime in the next two or three months. I'll try to remember to bring you a (free) print of one of my paintings. Which painting would you like to have a print of?

    See you (and thanks!),

I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. I can't wait to get it framed. It will certainly brighten up my apartment. Thanks so much for thinking of me and, as always, keep up the good work!
