IN 1856 THIS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHwas completed and the combined second and third Mobile, Al. congregations merged and moved into their new building. It stood on the corner of N. Jackson and Michael Street up until the mid 1890's. This 5x7 painting is just one of a number of similar subjects that can be found in my affordable painting collection on my web site. Please visit!

IN 1909 LOUIS METZGER moved into this new house on the southeast corner of Government and Michigan Avenue by Architect C. Hutchisson. Stucco and a tile roof with fluted columns and two dormer windows were on the original home. A large carriage house stood at the back of the property. When Government became a highway the house was moved around the corner to Michigan Avenue where it stands today. Much of the original was removed. The Acrylic 5x7 painting is on canvas panel.

Derald Eastman has been interested in art since a very young age. His sixth grade teacher recognized this and gave him encouragement. As did his high school art teacher Don Musick. His formal art training was as a student at the University of Kansas majoring in Painting/illustration. Where he was closely tutored by Jack Armstrong. Having been employed in advertising for a number of years only recently has he been able to seriously pursue his artistic interest.
He pays painstaking attention to the composition of his paintings; in particular with the use of negative and positive areas which he considers of primary importance. These days he said, ”he paints with more economical means by suggesting detail rather than rendering it.”
As a member of the Alabama art community Derald’s work has been recognized in shows and received numerous awards. In the past few years he has focused his painting primarily in acrylics as well as watercolor.
