pieces which is currently on display at the Pell City Library with nearly a dozen of her other paintings. “The man out there with the lamb, I’ve always called it ‘Peace,’” Mize said. “To me, it’s always reminded me of how the good lord and Jesus holds us every day and takes care of us. I feel like it portrays peace and that’s what I like about it.” Mize noted she had some reservations about displaying her artwork publicly. “I was very hesitant because I feel like I’m an amateur,” Mize said. “Susan (Mann) had to really encourage me to bring them up here. I guess I’m my own worst critic. I haven’t done that many paintings if you really think about it.” Mann, assistant director for the Pell City Library, gave a glowing review of Mize and her displayed pieces. “She does beautiful work,” Mann said. “We’re just pleased to be able to present it to the public. I think she’s going to do very well if she continues with this. The work that she has done is lovely. Some of the work is of local places and I think the people will find interesting because they’re familiar with them. I think she has a nice variety of work — everything from still life to the scenes from various places and portrait she has there. She’s got a nice selection of different types of subject matter.” Contact Shane Dunaway at sdunaway@dailyhome.com
