HEMINGWAY - On behalf of his mother, artist Peggy Tomlinson McGill, Senator Yancy McGill donated a framed print of the statehouse in Columbia. Mrs. McGill is a well known Williamsburg artist who once did a mural of Francis Marion in Kingstree; having 165 citizens participate to do the actual painting using her plans and direction.
Mrs. McGill was an art teacher in Kingstree and did a number of shows of her work at Brice Museum. McGill said, “Mother wants the Hemingway Library to have a copy of this.” The original of this art work was in Senator Frank McGill’s office for many years, and a limited number of prints has been made from it.
It is entitled ‘sine die’ which is Latin for “the end,” in other words, the legislature was not in session. It shows the ornate lobby of the statehouse (before recent renovations) and portrays prominantly the statue of Calhoun.
