I've seen this painting under the underpass in Augusta most of my life, but never really paid attention to it. Looking at it now, I wonder who painted it, this train heading "To Oz" as painted on a sign. How many other people have driven past it and never really seen it? How many other forgotten artwork to we pass by every day without appreciating?

Dancer

I love this picture. The artist who made this really captured the passion and dedication that it takes to dance. As a dancer myself I can really "feel" what the girl in the picture is feeling. The colors used here tell me that the girl is dancing not out of happiness or joy, but instead out of sadness or anger, and yet she looks confidant and strong. This photo really makes me want to dance.

The cowboy


What can you see in this cowboy's eyes? I see a longing to go into the pastures and ride for hours. A wish for home, a hug from a mom or sister. His eyes reflect his youth, inexperience, and possibly a fear of his name being pulled to ride the impossible bronc. The tilt of the hat shows his open and friendly personality, his easy smile hovering on the corners of his lips. He is a friend, a brother, a son, and city boy. He is a 4-Her.
