Brenda Fisher Awards - Exhibits - Collections
Artwork commissioned by the Mark Twain Museum
"Brenda's painting, Mark Twain Reading the Courier Post was purchased by
Mark Twain Museum director, Cindy Lovell, who is a huge Mark Twain fan. So
huge in fact that she contacted her childhood friend, Grammy Award-winning
singer, songwriter and producer, Carl Jackson to help her create and produce
"Mark Twain: Words and Music". This CD is a musical and spoken-word tribute
to Mark Twain with Clint Eastwood portraying Twain himself, Garrison Keillor as
the main narrator and Carl Jackson as the voice of Huck Finn. The musical
contributors are Brad Paisley, Emmy Lou Harris, Vince Gill, former Shenandoah
frontman Marty Raybon, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and more.
Cindy Lovell presented Brenda's original watercolor painting to Carl Jackson and purchased the total print run of 40 giclees (reproduction prints) to give as thank you gifts to the musical contributors and others who helped with the CD.
