My exhibition at the historic Carnegie Library in Albany Ga was met with a wonderful array of collectors, artists and art enthusiasts. Among them, one artist offered to swap pieces of art. An exciting idea. Also on hand was the retired chairman Dr Arthur R Berry from Albany State University’s Art department. Most exciting were my discussions about my concept of Deconstructed Landscapes.
I have recently begun a series of paintings exploring what I call Landscape Deconstruction. I am reducing the colors, elements and tools used to create the work to essentials. I am using acrylic stains and watercolors with a limited pallet. The shapes that are formed or discovered either by accident or design are intriguing in that they create depth and narrative more expressionist than abstract. This is just deceloping so if you have a comment or suggestion please feel free to add it.
These works are on display in Albany Ga.

Today’s Artist Interview Is With Donald Kolberg From Hahira GA.
Whopple: How long have you been an artist?
Donald: I don’t know how to answer that. The knee jerk reaction, like so many others, is to say I’ve been an artist forever.
But the truth is there have been periods of time when I wasn’t an artist. Basically life got in the way.
Whopple: Tell us about your first attempts to be creative.
Donald: I remember a time in grade school when we had to write a story.
I used the letters of the alphabet as characters and did it on a roll of brown paper with illustrations running down the border.
I wish I had that now, it would be fun to see.
