The Green Hills News is misnamed. It is an advertisement for the Green Hills commercial sector that sponsor it. The content of the paper reflects this. Try putting a remark into "Ticked Off" that is from the residents perspective and is negative toward the commercial enterprise. It will never see the light of day or it will be edited to the point that it is undecipherable.

“Skyscapes and Other Images” Aerial Impressions, Portraits, Posters, Paintings and Illustrations by J. William Myers, Artist and Illustrator At Belmont University’s Leu Art Gallery Exhibit: April 8 - June 5, 2008 For my first one-man art exhibition in more than twenty-five years, I have created a series of large oil paintings called “Skyscapes” which are aerial impressions of the United States viewed from thousands of feet in the air. From the Southwest to the Northeast, they form a loose-knit chain of mountains, deserts, rivers, lakes and plains in patterns of colors and shapes at varying times of the day. Close up, these paintings can seem like an array of indistinct forms and colorful brush strokes. From a distance, the high angle point of view of the “Skyscapes” is revealed, and hopefully will evoke in the viewer a feeling of flying, maybe even vertigo, along with a diverse, unique vision of America. Included in this show are posters and illustrations, a number of which are related to music, another of my passions. Development of an artistic idea from sketch to finished art to printed poster may be seen in this exhibition, as well as the original art for the RCA album ”Waylon and Willie.” The art for the Draft Gore poster, which recently won a 2008 ADDY award and a rave in the New York Review of Books may also be viewed. Placed in my favorite working category of “entertainment art” is an illustration of the twenty four characters for Robert Altman’s seminal film “Nashville” and one of my most reproduced works, having appeared in posters, one of which is in this show, book covers, sound track covers, the opening credit for the film “Nashville.” Viewing this show as a retrospective that spans over three decades, it is gratifying to see my small contribution to the iconography of American culture.
