First Rack—Tobacco Drying by Allison Christie is part of Georgia's State Art Collection. According to Christie, &quotThe challenge is there, and I'm always looking for it--to present rather common, everyday objects to the viewer for a more intimate encounter. It was a small tobacco farm run by two very old, very proud men." Watercolor, 31 x 38 inchesFirst Rack—Tobacco Drying
