Winter at the
Capitol
by
Brenda Behr
First in a series of four,
Winter at the Capitol, was painted as a result of the annual Christmas tree
lighting ceremony, hosted by Governor and Mrs. Easley and the State Capitol
Foundation. Goldsboro resident and artist, Brenda Behr, attended the
ceremony to capture
the excitement and
beauty of the
lighting of our
state tree.
A limited group of numbered
and signed prints of the
painting may be purchased
for $50.00. Additional
prints not signed and
numbered may be purchased
for $35.00 by contacting
Diana Mauney at

continue to support the
Foundation. |

 Spirit
of the Capitol by Lenore DePree
Through
the generosity of artist Lenore DePree of West Jefferson, North
Carolina, several items have been made available for sale to benefit the
North Carolina State Capitol, a National Historic Landmark.
During ten years in the Middle East, DePree studied 15th-17th-century
Persian art. Upon returning to the United States DePree felt that this
style, with its perfectly balanced forms and vibrant colors, would be
the ideal vehicle for expressing the grace of the North Carolina State
Capitol. (Image above).
The classic architecture, formal gardens, statuary, stately old
trees, famous fountains, and crowned dome are all faithfully rendered.
In addition to these authentic details, there is also a joyful spirit of
life. From people enjoying Capitol Square to the birds, squirrels, and
blooming dogwoods and azaleas, the artist has captured the Spirit of
the Capitol.
All proceeds from this reproduction will go directly to the State
Capitol Foundation, Inc., to assist in its continuing support of
education and preservation programs at this grand historic building.
