The artwork is inspired by 1800’s moonshiner Amos Owens from Cherry Mountain, NC, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.  Whisky wasn’t known for its taste in the mid 1800’s.  He added Cherries and other fruit his whiskey, named it ‘Cherry Bounce’ and sold a tremendous amount – as far west as the Mississippi.  He was sufficiently wealthy by age 29 to expand his 100 aces on Cherry Mountain to owning the entire mountain.  

He used a telescope to watch for approaching Revenuers.  He was a kind man, though  hated paying taxes.  One time the revenuers caught him.  He gave them Cherry Bounce, which they overdid and passe out.  He waited for them to come around and take him in.  Charming and affable, he often talked his way out of trouble when in front of a judge.

 
He lived to be 84 at a time when most people passed away around age 40 – maybe he was on to something.
