Not sure what to say?

Jim Harrison has left a permanent impression upon my days. His writings and art bring such comfort and joy. His desire to preserve the way of life in our Southern towns and farmlands rings so true to my childhood days in Athens, GA (1941-1963) and the University of Georgia College of Agriculture and its Veterinary College. I saw a way of life that I have sorely missed for decades since. I am 80-years of age this year (2022). I regret that I never had the opportunity to walk in his shadow and...

JIm is Denmark, S.C. in a sense. He is one its favorite sons. I remember him fondly on this the fourth year since he passed. ,

Hi Jim: Three quick years have passed since you left us. But you did not leave us either. We remember you, your good spirit, and the light you left us through your incredible talent to help us view our past as we live in the present.

Family of Cousin Jim, We had such a nice visit with him at the gallery in Denmark in June 2015. My grandchildren and daughter enjoyed meeting Jim so much and we have been talking about our trip ever since. I wanted to call Jim and when I went on-line I saw he passed 4 months ago. I will miss him so much.

Jim was an American art icon who successfully captured the images of America's past. We will always treasure the memories of our visits to his studio and watching him work on new projects. There was something so naturally likeable about him that we felt he could have been a family member. We were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with him on numerous occasions and appreciate his art.

He was a great artist of his time.

Memories of a time long forgotten

My wife and I are honored to have known this very humble and generous man. Not many people have made such positive contributions to the world, and we are all thankful for the many you have left with us. Yours is a legacy that will live throughout the ages. Thank You Good Sir!! I'm certain that we'll continue to see your masterpieces every time we look at the clouds!
