The colonists were well known for their casual laid back style and fun-loving sprit. Therefore, it is not surprising that numerous cartoons and caricatures were created by the artists while they were at the colony. We call this collection of sketches, screen prints and painted ceiling panels "Dixie Doodles." In the photograph below Kelly Fitzpatrick is shown standing in the Nobles Ferry studio. If you look closely at the studio ceiling, you can see some of the ceiling panels the artists painted.
