Planters Bank to show Larry Martin’s Colorful Art in July

Clarksville, TN – The Planters Bank-Hilldale Gallery will feature the richly-colored paintings of local artist Larry Martin Friday, July 5th – Wednesday, July 31st.

Having a varied career in Accounting, Linguistics, Music and Financial Management, Martin was always interested in art, but only began painting seriously after he retired at age 65 and has been painting for 10 years now.

His career journey meandered through a stint in the Military in California and Maryland, many years in the Orient as a Chinese Mandarin linguist, many more years in the Washington, D.C. area as Operating Manager for a major corporation, and finally marriage at age 40 and permanent relocation to Tennessee as Vice President of a Financial Management company.

During all the while he pursued a music career with bands, in piano bars, and as a church organist for over 60 years.  He is now retired and just plays bridge (a Bronze Life Master in the ACBL), paints, and enjoys life.
