JT McCord
was born December 28, 1948 in
Thomson, GA. He started painting in 1984, after he saw
"some white ladies taking painting lessons at the Hawes Paint
Store" in Thomson, where he lives today. His first subject
was an alligator he saw on television, a source from which he
derives most of his inspiration. Jake likes to "showcase"
his art on his front porch, and he is adamant about the amount
of time a piece needs to be displayed before it can be sold.
His bold, humorous paintings are usually painted on plywood
boards, and his favorite subjects are cats, dogs, horses and
women with big hairdos.
His work is included in many private collections and has been
featured at the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Center in Virginia and
the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida. |
