Scarecrow Hill from the collection of South Carolina Arts Commission

Discovery

Robert Mills
Scarecrow Hill, 1969
tempera painting
23.5 x 35 in

I view the world with the discerning eye of the artist, the inquisitive mind of the educator, and the practical concern of the businessman. I am alive to nature. Familiar scenes compel my attention, and it is the second look at common things and places that stirs a sensitive response. I let the viewer complete his own more explicit work.

Scarecrow Hill is painted from a field in Fairfield County, South Carolina. I like the expanse of it and the old scarecrow.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
