- Description:
- Painting by Jake McCord.
A native of Lincoln County, Georgia, Jake McCord spent most of his life in Thomson, Georgia (in McDuffie County) where he worked for the city doing maintenance work at the Westview cemetery. McCord took up painting after being inspired by a television show that he watched on Saturdays. He produced flat, two-dimensional images of houses, people, and animals in acrylic house paint on sections of plywood, and his works often decorated the front yard and porch of his home.
