Years ago, my mom gave me an Italian olive jar for Christmas. It’s like a big urn, earthen and ancient-looking – it actually is semi-ancient, I think – and I put it in my front yard, near the azalea bushes, amidst a bunch of flower pots. The first spring, I filled the jar with dirt and planted begonias in it. They did pretty well, but they died that winter, and after a few seasons, I stopped replanting them. It was kind of a hassle – the olive jar’s wide in the middle but small at the top – and eventually, I just kind of… let it go. (I’m always letting things go.) The jar was pretty enough on its own, I thought, and it looked nice surrounded by my potted plants.

This is especially true in the life of artist Mel Green, an internationally known abstract artist. Melvin Green was born during the height of the Great Depression to Whitaker and Sarah Green in the Jenkins Community of Beaufort County. Born into a large extended family with limited job opportunities and his love of drawing to pass the time, Mel left the Lowcountry after graduating from Robert Smalls High School and joined the army in 1953.
