Churches Photographs and Watercolors Donald A. Smith and Roy Ward Photographs and watercolors of Georgia churches The book of "Churches" presents Don Smith’s paintings and Roy Ward’s photographs of community churches in Northeast Georgia, giving the book of historical, social, and artistic significance. American churches are a central part of life in the communities of this country, and the once-familiar buildings are disappearing from the townships of our rural heritage. Smith and Ward separately recorded such buildings in paintings and photographs which appear here for the first time. No collection makes a more profound sociological comment on our recent past. Donald A. Smith† (MFA, University of Georgia) has done illustrations for humor books, children’s books, and history books; record jackets and CDs; billboards; brochures; magazine ads; posters; TV; and packaging. Smith has had numerous one-man shows of his paintings around the Southeast at such places as the University of Georgia, the State Department of Industry & Trade, the Lyndon House Arts Center, DeKalb College, the Florence (South Carolina) Museum of Art, and Zoo Atlanta. Roy Ward was born 1922, reared and attended school in Watkinsville, Georgia. University of Georgia graduate 1943; Medical College of Georgia, 1947. He worked as a physician in Athens, Georgia; Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, DC; and Atlanta, Georgia. He was in private practice as a family physician in Watkinsville, Oconee County, Georgia, from 1957 to gradual retirement after fifty years. His print-work and photography have been exhibited at the Macon Georgia Museum of Arts and Sciences and in the Birmingham Alabama Art Museum.
