🎨 We’re excited to welcome watercolor artist Penny Speidel to the MMMG Gift Shop!

Penny grew up surrounded by art as the daughter of a portrait painter and spent much of her childhood watching her father work. After a 42-year career in education, she returned to painting in retirement and rediscovered her love of watercolor.

Travel, nature, and the beauty of everyday life continue to inspire her work, and we’re especially pleased to share that Penny also has a painting included in this year’s Juried Art Show at MacCallum More.

You can now find a beautiful collection of 7 floral watercolor notecards featuring Penny’s artwork in the Gift Shop. The cards are larger-sized, blank inside, and perfect for sending a thoughtful note or keeping as a little piece of art.

Stop by and take a look at Penny’s work in both the Juried Art Show and the MMMG Gift Shop. 💚

“SEPTEMBER ORCHARD” by Eldridge Bagley 1996 Oil on canvas 18” x 24”
Early autumn ushers in the harvesting of certain fruits, including apples. I envisioned the setting for this painting as being in the cool early morning hours. My memories of various old farm houses inspired the homestead featured in the painting. There are likely other family members who are helping with the picking. At least, I would hope so.
The painting “September Orchard” is in a private collection and was not reproduced as a limited edition print.

🤓Journey Into Prehistory at MacCallum More

Did you know one of MMMG’s most remarkable collections began with a single arrowhead found by a 10-year-old boy on North Main Street in Chase City?

Arthur H. Robertson went on to build a collection of approximately 50,000 Native American artifacts, with nearly all of them originating in Mecklenburg County.

Today, visitors can see highlights from the collection in the MacCallum More Museum, including ancient projectile points, soapstone cooking vessels, crystal points, and a chunkey stone connected to a traditional Native American game.

Some of the collection includes rare Clovis points dating back thousands of years, offering a glimpse into the lives of people who lived in this region long before us.

Want to see the collection in person?
