Rosner began the project by researching the five historical
villages of Goochland County and collecting a series of photographs from years
gone by. Her plan is to create five
paintings, one representing each of the villages. The completed paintings will
be donated to the county and will be housed in the Goochland Administration
Building for the public to enjoy.
The community is invited to select the photographs that will
serve as the inspiration for the paintings by voting on a Facebook page Rosner created. The 5 villages with the most LIKES will be
what she develops the paintings around.
To help fund the project Rosner is selling reproductions of
a piece of her work, an 1830's painting of the Goochland Courthouse, which is
available in prints, matted prints, coffee mugs, decorative plates, note cards
and canvas reproductions. Any funds
collected in excess of the actual project cost will be given to the Goochland
Free Clinic and Family Services and Goochland Historical Society.
