The Art
Springtime on the Square III
Springtime on the Square II
Springtime on the Square I
Springtime On The Square 1” is a brilliantly colored oil on canvas, depicting
the west side of Abbeville’s Historic Square. Juror Bud Bishop, who chose this
painting to be included in the 27th Annual Juried Exhibit at the Anderson County
Arts Center, stated “This was an extraordinarily strong field: full of variety,
surprises, and rewards. The variety is reflected in the final range of choices
in media, techniques, and subject matter. In judging, I am influenced by what I
perceive to be the challenges each artist sets for him or herself-the difficulty
of execution; the originality of idea; the fusion of material and method…..As an
artist, I really got pleasure from each of the successful works I included in
the exhibition…..As a critic, I can attest that they are all first rate.”
“Springtime On The Square” limited edition (500), registered prints (1-250) and
single purchase prints (251-500) will provide a panoramic view of Abbeville’s
charming historic Square. Springtime on the Square 1, 2 and 3 are now available.
The Artist
At work on Springtime On The Square III
Tom Grantham is a native of Abbeville. He graduated Wofford College and he and
wife Peggy operate Rosebud Gallery and Studio located on the historic Court
Square in Abbeville, South Carolina. After many years of putting his artistic
talents on the back burner, his passion for art was revived after a trip to
Maine in 1999. Tom has been
painting and sculpting regularly since that time. In October 2009, Tom and
Peggy purchased a home on Edisto Island, S.C. and have moved there. His
paintings and prints have been reduced as the gallery will be closing in the
spring of 2010. The gallery building is also for sale and is a
wonderful opportunity for someone to own a historic 1870's building on
Abbeville's charming Court Square. This is a double building, 2 stories,
approx 6200 sq ft. There are incredible views of Court Square, especially
from the large 2nd story windows. Much restoration has been done including
removal of the dropped ceiling downstairs to expose the original molded tin
ceilings which have been restored. Carpet and paint/dirt/debris has been
removed from the floors where an original mosaic floor with a Greek Key border
was discovered on one side. The same Greek Key border is repeated in the
squares surrounding large medallions in the molded metal ceiling. The
sheetrock has been removed from the elevator shaft/surround and replaced with
antique windows to allow sunlight to shine down and light up the first floor.
The lst story back has owners quarters/apt, with a double back entrance, one
side with an uncovered patio and the other with a covered patio. The
property extends to the back to include four parking spaces. The upstairs
renovations into a loft residence is well underway and the new owner can finish
to their taste/preferences. This building is also one of only two on Court
Square that have a front porch. The gallery building is priced at
$239,000.. View the photos of the building at the end of the gallery
pages. Peggy is in the process of closing Grantham Properties and moving
her license as a broker associate with Coldwell Banker Sea Island Realty.
