Bob
Gecy strives with this offering to reflect the pride South Carolinians
have in their beautiful state flag. The flags history dates back to
1775 when Col. William Moultrie chose a blue background to match the
color of the S.C. troops uniforms and a crescent moon which represented
the silver emblem worn on their caps. This emblem signified a new
beginning. In 1861 the General Assembly of South Carolina voted to add
the palmetto tree to Moultrie’s original design in order to
honor the
heroic defense of the palmetto-log fort on Sullivan’s Island
against
the attack of the British Fleet on June 28, 776. With the addition of
the palmetto tree, the design was complete and the flag as we know it
today was officially created!

Popular as an
embellishment on golf shirts,
hats, decals, cups and
many other items, the beautiful simplicity of our “palmetto
tree and
crescent moon” logo has attracted popularity second only to
the Lone
Star of Texas. With a mixed media technique and in a realistic style,
Bob has created a celebration of our symbol to display as fine art in a
casual or formal setting.
“Coastal
Morning” is a
limited edition of signed and numbered Giclee
prints. It has been featured on TV/WB40 “Focus on the
Palmetto State”
and is a popular item at the South Carolina State House Gift Shop. Of
course prints and custom framing are available at the
artist’s studio
located in the Shadow Box
Frame Gallery.

My
Eye's On You
1995 View Ordering Information
Born in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania and now residing in Simpsonville, South Carolina, Bob grew
up in a family that loved the Christmas traditions including trips to
Kaufmann’s Department Store to see Santa. Those memories of
going to
town with his Mom and Dad at Christmastime were the first inspirations
for this painting. Bob began early with a keen interest in art and
although he had no formal training, he spent 20 years as a Graphic
Artist designing and manufacturing signage for the family business.
While creating a limited number of pieces of art for family and
friends, this painting, “My Eye’s On
You”, is the first piece to be
published. Santa, painted as a Christmas gift for his wife, Connie, in
1995, has become popular with Santa collectors as well as fine art
enthusiasts. Also available by Bob Gecy is a companion piece,
“Mrs.
Claus”
as well as a rendition of the South Carolina State symbol entitled
“Coastal
Morning”.
