A New Portrait and a New Video to go with it... after a Ten Year Hiatus

Okay, I have decided to do yet another portrait on video, taking into account that EACH AND EVERY mark I make be filmed on camera, the entire time.  So I have started a new project and am making great progress. It has been ten years since I did the drawing of a reenactor playing General Lee at the Avenel House, entitled "THE LIVING GENERAL." Time to do another one!

First Snow on Tom Cat Ridge

Three Acres Plantation - Historical Period Porch Completion

Three Acres Plantation recently saw the completion of the original porch work, dating back to at least 2013. The wood is all in place and awaiting the Spring of the year to complete the staining and the final painting of the wrought iron work. The Alpine Revival styling was George's favorite period type of architecture, and he used it throughout the front porch.












Here we see the completion of the Grand Staircase, lacking only final paint and stain work.





The view looking West North West of the home, towards the property of his parents, here on Tom Cat Ridge.




The period 5.0 Mustang in the background is the original 1992 Fox Body V8 LX 5.0 High Output with the PEP package and the GT wheels in bimini blue and with the titanium interior. It is original to the property here at Three Acres Plantation. Behind the car is George's field that he called the Moor, and then his brother's property.

Three Acres Plantation Restoration Project 2012

Work continues here at Three Acres Plantation, and so far, right on schedule. Recently discovered architectural drawings of the home have allowed workmen to restore the home to its original lustre, dated back to a period about 2011-2012 A.D., or thereabouts. This is definitely a time when George Roland Wills was known to have owned the home, and some time before his institute would be built, and the remainder of his major works would be completed. The railing is of course known to have been in the early Alpine Revival style, with hand-tooled and hand-fitted sections throughout.

George spent much of that Winter writing, and teaching, as history informs us. He had released a number of books to the public by this time, and one or two of his films had also been completed and released in the year 2011, despite the restrictions that the lack of travel had placed upon his newest projects.
