This cover painting done by the artist beautifully introduces Blooms of Old Cahaba with a feeling of history, memory, and Southern grace. The artwork captures the quiet charm of Old Cahaba, where nature seems to grow through the stories left behind. Soft blooms, aged textures, and a peaceful atmosphere come together to suggest both beauty and remembrance.
The painting feels like a tribute to the past — a place where flowers still bloom among old paths, forgotten walls, and treasured memories. It invites the viewer into a world of heritage, reflection, and the lasting beauty of Alabama’s historic landscape. Prints of the painting are available (without the writing on cover) and also the book is also for sale, see below.
