Jimmy Greene, plays in his Southern Pines, N.C. home as part of the Barren to Beauty project, July 14, 2017. Barren to Beauty brings together area residents who paint every Friday night to a theme and then donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the prints to area charities. The artists come from military and non-military backgrounds and range from novice to experienced artists. The band, also named Barren to Beauty, play local gigs and also donate their tips and proceeds to charities. (Photo by Timothy L. Hale/Special to The Pilot)
